As of February 27, 2025, there have been no official announcements from Kansas Jayhawks’ Head Coach Bill Self regarding any significant updates about the team’s center position. The Jayhawks’ roster for the 2024-25 season features notable centers, including senior Hunter Dickinson and freshman Flory Bidunga.
Hunter Dickinson, who transferred from Michigan in May 2023, has been a pivotal player for Kansas. During the 2023-24 season, he led the team in both scoring and rebounding, earning consensus Second Team All-American honors. In April 2024, Dickinson announced his decision to return to Kansas for his final season, aiming to build upon the previous year’s success.
Freshman Flory Bidunga has also made a significant impact. Despite initial expectations of a limited role, Bidunga has averaged 9.0 points and 5.3 rebounds in just 13.5 minutes per game, showcasing his defensive prowess and earning the trust of Coach Self.
The Jayhawks have faced challenges this season, including injuries to key players. Senior guard Shakeel Moore has missed two consecutive games due to a foot injury, with his return date still uncertain. Additionally, transfer guard Rylan Griffen sustained a facial injury during a game against Brown, and his recovery timeline remains unclear.
Despite these setbacks, Kansas maintains a strong presence in the Big 12 Conference. The team’s next game is scheduled against Texas Tech on March 1, 2025.
