My apologies if this has already been posted, but thought some might have missed this one-I know I had….
Top recruit: Niko Bundalo (No. 34)
The Rebels surge into the final rankings after the late addition of Bundalo, a former Washington commit who was a McDonald's All American and one of the most talented frontcourt prospects in the class. Bundalo is the third ESPN 100 pickup for Chris Beard in this group, joining forward Tylis Jordan (No. 91) and shooting guard Patton Pinkins (No. 97), the son of assistant coach Al Pinkins.
There's plenty of intrigue surrounding the addition of French guard Ilias Kamardine, who won MVP at the FIBA U20 Eurobasket and has professional experience in France.
We obviously aren’t getting any points for Kamardine, but if he is as good as I hear, he would probably move us into the top ten. We are still behind several SEC schools, but between the portal and having a plus coaching staff, I am really excited about next year, especially if we can bring in one more PG.
