Report: Michigan transfer Hunter Dickinson to visit Kansas

Michigan transfer Hunter Dickinson will visit Kansas next week, according to multiple reports.

Widely regarded as the No. 1 player in the transfer portal, the 7-foot-1 center was a consensus second-team All-American and the Big Ten Freshman of the Year in 2020-21 and is coming off an All-Big Ten first-team selection in 2022-23.

Dickinson announced his plans to transfer on March 31. Friday's report said that coach Bill Self's Jayhawks will be his first official visit, following unofficial visits to Georgetown and Maryland this weekend. Dickinson also drew interest from a number of other programs, including Kentucky.

Dickinson averaged 18.5 points and career highs in rebounding (9.0 per game) and blocks (1.8 per game) across 34 starts last season. The big man also shot 42.1 percent from 3-point distance and according to Synergy Statistics, he was in the 78th percentile in post offense.

In 94 career games (89 starts), Dickinson averaged 17.2 points, 8.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.6 blocks per game for the Wolverines. He ranks 12th in Michigan history in career points (1,617) and 10th in career rebounds (787).

The Alexandria, Va. native is classified as a graduate transfer because he is on track to graduate from Michigan at end of the summer semester.
