Louisville Cardinals Basketball to Host Top NCAA Transfer Portal Targets Flory Bidunga, Jackson Shelstad
Pat Kelsey is kicking off college basketball’s free agency period with a big splash. Louisville is set to welcome two sought-after players from the NCAA transfer portal. Flory Bidunga, a former Kansas big man, and Jackson Shelstad, a former Oregon point guard, will visit on Friday, as first reported by On3’s Joe Tipton.
Another notable player, Tyrone Riley IV from San Francisco, is also expected to visit campus on Sunday. The Cardinals have been active in recruiting due to having only three scholarship players currently on their roster for the upcoming season.
Bidunga, a standout defender from the Democratic Republic of Congo, had an impressive sophomore season at Kansas. Meanwhile, Shelstad, known for his scoring and playmaking abilities, overcame a hand injury during his junior year at Oregon.
These visits mark the beginning of what is expected to be a busy recruitment period for Louisville, as they aim to strengthen their roster for the upcoming season.
Fact check: Flory Bidunga stands out as a top defensive player from Kansas. Jackson Shelstad establishes himself as a scoring threat despite injury. Tyrone Riley IV seeks to transition to a higher level of competition.
