ESPN 100 Senior Nice bundle What is the pledge to do? Washingtonhe told ESPN, giving the Huskies their second top-50 promise this month.
Bundalo’s commitment ends one of the tougher recruits in the 2025 class. He trimmed his list to four schools in October, leaving North Carolina, UConn, Ohio State and Michigan, who have already taken official visits to each of his finalists. Before cutting his roster, he visited Kentucky and then canceled three days later.
Within weeks, he was no longer considering any of his finalists and had completely restarted his recruitment.
“I thought I was done with my recruiting when I narrowed my list down to the final four,” Bundalo said. “Then the schools got commitments, and I wasn’t ready and then the season started, so I had to start over. When Washington heard I was reopening my commitment, they jumped right in, and they It’s been great.”
Bundlow quickly developed a relationship with the Washington staff, particularly coach Danny Sprinkle and assistant coach Gibb Arnold.
“Assistant coach Gibb Arnold not only took the time to recruit me, but he also got to know my family. That was really important to me,” Bundalo said. “Coach Sprinkle and I have connected and talk regularly. He has a high usage rate for the four man and his plan is to use my versatility. I am very impressed with what he has done at Utah State. “What?”
A 6-foot-10 forward who played at Prolific Prep (Calif.), Bundalo is ranked No. 25 in the ESPN 100, the No. 5 power forward in the nation. In 12 games with the Wildcat Selects on the Adidas 3SSB circuit last spring, he averaged 14.5 points and 5.8 rebounds, shooting nearly 35 percent from 3-point range.
Bundalo has a wingspan of 7 feet and an advanced skill set. The smooth lefty is a legitimate threat behind the arc and possesses tremendous versatility with excellent mobility and the ability to run the floor. What stands out about his game is his size and skill. His ability to handle the ball, pass, shoot and drive and make bounce-off plays cost him tremendously. Bundalo also has superior athleticism and explosive leaping ability.
He is the third commitment for Sprinkle in the 2025 class, and the second top-50 recruit for Washington in the last few weeks. Earlier this month, J. J. Mandaquet commitment To the Huskies
“It will be fun to play with JJ Mundakit,” Bandalo said. “I have played with him and against him at different times. He makes the players around him better because of how he creates for everyone.”
