Sunrise Christian (Kansas) four-star center John Bol has decommitted from the Florida Gators. His agent Chris Walsh of Level 13 Agency announced the news on Twitter.

A native of South Sudan, Bol had been committed to Florida since June 10.

The 7-foot-2, 190-pounder is the No. 33 overall prospect and No. 4 center in the 2024 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 1 player in Kansas.

Bol’s decommitment leaves Orland (Fla.) Orlando Christian Prep three-star shooting guard Isaiah Brown as Florida’s lone 2024 pledge. The class ranks No. 31 in the country and No. 5 in the SEC.

John Bol currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $89K. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV). The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.

Bol Scouting Report

The following is an On3 Scouting Report of John Bol:

“John Bol is a unique athletic specimen. At over 7 feet tall, his agility and his ability to move are not like other players his size. He has defensive upside as a weak side rim protector and someone who can move his feet when switching along the perimeter. Bol will need to add strength; he is currently very thin. He gets moved off his spots on both ends of the floor easily. The added strength could help him become a better post-defender and finish better in the paint. Offensively, Bol is at his best with putbacks and in lob situations. His offensive game is pretty limited right now; he has touch but needs to develop his range and some low post moves. However, his height allows him to be a vertical lob threat, and he has good hands and dexterity in the air. Bol has an intriguing upside. His flashes are starting to produce now with more strength and continued minutes and reps there is a lot of ceiling to fill.” – On3’s Jamie Shaw
