Birch Gunja brings size, upside, and frontcourt versatility to Ripon
Birch Gunja is a 6'6" forward from Oconomowoc in the 2025 class who is listed with Ripon as a men’s basketball roster player, giving the Red Hawks a long, projectable frontcourt piece with modern positional flexibility.[1][2][3] His main differentiator is length at the forward spot, which can translate into rebound coverage, defensive switching, and matchup value if his motor and skill set continue to develop.[2][3] Publicly available recruiting information is limited, so his current fit is best viewed as an upside-oriented add rather than a proven statistical producer.[1][2][3]
