Syracuse Basketball: Soaring big-man recruit, nearing 5 stars, eyes visits

Four-star big man Nikola Bundalo from Ohio, who received a scholarship offer from Syracuse basketball this spring, is one of the fastest-rising prospects nationwide in the 2025 class, according to recruiting analysts and scouts.

It wasn’t that long ago that the 6-foot-9 power forward was unranked in the rising-junior cycle. However, as Bundalo has shined on the AAU circuit and at other showcase events in recent months, he has vaulted into the top 25, per both the industry-generated 247Sports Composite and 247Sports.

He’s perhaps on his way toward eventually attaining five-star status in the 2025 class.
