Ole Miss
Scout Report
Standing 6-10 with the skill set of a modern stretch four, this California native is already making his presence felt at the collegiate level after a stellar prep career.
Background
Hailing from Napa, California, Bundalo made the move to Prolific Prep for his senior season, joining one of the nation's most talent-loaded rosters. At Prolific Prep, he competed alongside elite prospects like Darryn Peterson, Caleb Holt, and Bruce Branch III, gaining invaluable experience against top-tier competition. His journey through the prep ranks ultimately led him to commit to Ole Miss, where he's now suiting up for the Rebels.
Playing Style
Bundalo brings a versatile skill set that epitomizes the modern power forward position. His 6-10 frame gives him the ability to compete in the paint while possessing the mobility to step out and stretch the floor. He shows good court awareness and basketball IQ, making smart decisions with the ball in his hands. While still developing his overall physicality for the SEC level, his combination of size and skill creates matchup problems for opposing defenses.
Recruitment
Now enrolled at Ole Miss and competing in the SEC, Bundalo chose the Rebels over other high-major programs including Kentucky, Michigan, and North Carolina. As the #27 prospect in the 2025 class coming out of high school, he has the tools to develop into a key contributor for the Rebels as he continues to add strength and refine his game at the college level.
