A consensus four-star talent, Bundalo originally signed with Washington in November but was granted a release from his National Letter of Intent on April 29. Since then, the 6-foot-10, 205-pound power forward has quickly become one of the most in-demand uncommitted players in the nation.
This past weekend, Bundalo visited Ole Miss, spending several days exploring the Oxford campus, according to multiple sources.
At Prolific Prep (Napa, Calif.), Bundalo averaged 11 points and 8 rebounds during a strong senior season that earned him a spot in the 2025 McDonald’s All-American Game.
Following his release, On3 Sports identified Kansas State and St. John’s as potential landing spots. However, Ole Miss has rapidly become a serious contender after his recent campus visit.
Bundalo’s recruitment has intensified with new offers from major programs such as North Carolina, UConn, Notre Dame, Michigan, Alabama, Syracuse, LSU, Kentucky, and Texas.
For Ole Miss, the team still has approximately two scholarships available for the 2025-26 season after returning forward Malik Dia and guard Eduardo Klafke while adding seven new transfers.
