After three seasons with the Michigan Wolverines, Hunter Dickinson entered the transfer portal. He was one of the most coveted transfers in the portal this offseason and all the big-time programs wanted a chance. Dickinson visited Maryland, Georgetown, Kentucky, and Villanova. Ultimately, he chose to play for the Kansas Jayhawks next season with head coach Bill Self.
The seven-foot-one center spent three seasons with Michigan where they made the Elite 8 and Sweet 16 in separate tournaments. However, the Wolverines missed out on the NCAA tournament completely this year and were invited to play in the NIT.
This was not where Dickinson expected Michigan to be at the end of his junior year. That is why he calls leaving Ann Arbor the “hardest decision” he’s ever had to make. He plans on graduating from Michigan this summer before starting his career with Kansas.
