6'7" wing who averaged 14 points and 5 rebounds per game last year while shooting 39% from 3. Yeah I'd take that.

[DCHawk1]

Stanford media says still deciding. Saw a couple of tweets saying he's entering the portal.

per 247:

When looking at Kansas’ fit for Hunter Dickinson, one only needs to mention two words: “David McCormack.”

The Jayhawks fed the post in McCormack’s two seasons as Kansas’ primary starter. McCormack ranked in the 100th percentile for percentage of possessions used in post-ups as a junior, then in the 97th percentile of the same category when Kansas won the National Championship in 2022, per Synergy.

Dickinson is a more talented and efficient post-up scorer than McCormack was. Also, his ability to pop and shoot (he made 42.1% of his 3-pointers this year) adds some variety to Kansas’ pick-and-roll game.

Kansas has a pass-first point guard in Dajuan Harris who could get the most out of Dickinson offensively and there’s no doubt that Bill Self could get the most out of Dickinson on defense. When the Jayhawks struggled defensively with McCormack at the five in 2020-21, Self tweaked the depth of McCormack’s drop which helped turn Kansas into a top 10 defense for the final month and a half of the season.

The need is there for the Jayhawks, too. Without a traditional center, Kansas had just 108 post-up possessions last year, with half of those going to power forward Jalen Wilson. KJ Adams had just 22 of those post-ups, a staggeringly low number when compared to the post-ups of the Jayhawks’ primary center from the last three seasons — Udoka Azubuike (202 post-ups) and McCormack (244, 209).

Make no mistake: Self wants to feed the post. And, currently, he doesn’t have a player like Dickinson (or for that matter, McCormack) who he can feed with that kind of volume. Schematically, it’s a hand-in-glove fit.

Committed to Michigan if anyone cares

[ChicagoHawk]

Would love it if Self can land Dickinson, Cryer, and Timberlake.

Harris, Cryer, [Freshman], KJ, and Dickinson with Udeh, Timberlake, and 1-2 of freshmen and Ejiofor off the bench.
