Apparently there's a rumor that after withdrawing from the draft, he's not headed back to Kansas but to Louisville. How does that make us feel?
Flory Bidunga
- Thread starter fadkins82476
- Start date
Have you been living under a rock?
Are you clueless he committed to Louisville along time ago
UL is getting the best 6'7" center in the country
Meh, Iām an UK fan so thatās of no concern for meā¦ BTW, anyone hear if thereās any new news on the Stokes recruiting front? Last I heard he was Popeās to lose after posting live on Instagram, shooting half court shots inside of Rupp. 
He's a wide body and a decent player. With him, and with the number one high school player in the country and possible Top Three NBA draft pick Darryn Peterson, and a bunch of other well-regarded talent, Bill Self got Kansas to a 35-point loss in the B-12 tournament and the same round of 32 as Pope and Kentucky. So, he's not Hakeem Olajuwon.
His stats as a sophomore last year were probably in the same general ballpark as freshman Moreno. But I'd say Malachi's ceiling is much, much higher, which is why he was plausibly considered as a first-round NBA pick.
I hope -- and expect -- we see that in the December match-up. It might be a good strategy to let the much taller and 20-pounds heavier Franck Kepnang wear Bidunga down a bit, and make him play Moreno out on the high post when Malachi's in the game.

IDK about that but reports coming in of a large ship hitting an iceberg in the Atlantic. Not looking good. I will share more details as they come in.
Same guy that started that rumor just said that Mark Pope (BYU coach) is gonna be the next coach here at UK. Gotta confirm through more research but something to look out for
Heās actually not that big ā¦he measured only a bit over 6ā7ā w/o shoes at the combine. But heās one of those guys that plays way bigger than his height, thanks to an enormous wingspan and being a crazy bouncy quick jumper.
He is good, probably the best returning inside defender in the country. But (as you noted) his Kansas teams didn't do squat. If he didnāt make much difference there, I donāt know why he will now at UL.
If that happens there will be a near riot followed by a well designed nostalgia filled gathering of some sort by Mitch to try to win the fans over. I could be wrong.Same guy that started that rumor just said that Mark Pope (BYU coach) is gonna be the next coach here at UK. Gotta confirm through more research but something to look out for
keep grinding that ax. who are you mad at more....rainman or the people running the program?
He almost 6ā8 but Bidunga has a 40.5 vertical jump and a 7ā3 wingspan,Your center is 6ā11 but has a 29 inch max vertical and a 7ā1 wingspan..But Louisville has a 7ā1 5 star center coming in also
thats a hell of a round up you did there. its actually just 13.3 ppg. and you forgot to mention flory did it while playing 31.6 mpg while moreno did it in just 22.6 mpg. and flory has a year of experience. pretty sure with another year of experience and 10 extra minutes on the court, moreno will be able to average 12-14ppg. its just an extra 2 buckets per game.
Freshman season comparison.
Moreno 7.8 ppg 6.3 rpg 1.8 apg 1.5 bpg 22.6 mpg
Bidunga 5.9 ppg 5.4 rpg 0.3 apg 1.6 bpg 16.3 mpg

I just watched this Adam Sandler movie and he was wearing a UK shirt.
1/2 pts off. What other stats do you think its important to compare? Post them.
So you are predicting a Sophomore Moreno will show better stats and be SEC defensive player of the year ? Bidunga was also playing behing Hunter Dickinson.
Did I say anything like that? I simply provided stats from their freshman seasons. I didn't change any numbers trying to be deceptive to make my case like you did either. Their FR to FR minutes were a lot closer (22.6 to 16.3) than the FR to Soph numbers (31.5 to 22.6) that you chose to omit .

prediction. next year this time moreno will be get a first round grade and be in the draft and flory will be moving onto his 3rd team in 3 years.
I'm not real big on making predictions but this is certainly possible.
hope they play him at a stretch four with his 0-2 3 point shooting. his 1.5 turnovers a game will likely be closer to 3.That can't shoot past 4-5'
This year's UofL squad seems to be following the exact script of year 2 for Pope, trying to play a different style with overpriced players. He will have to play a different style, he has no 3 point shooters & we know his teams chuck them up.
