Hunter Dickinson Will Return to Kansas for 5th CBB Season, Forego 2024 NBA Draft

Hunter Dickinson is coming back to Kansas.

The big man announced Fridayhe will return to school instead of entering the 2024 NBA draft.

He was eligible for this fifth collegiate season because of the additional COVID year, and his decision isn't exactly surprising considering he wasn't included in a March mock draft from Bleacher Report's Jonathan Wasserman.

For his part, Dickinson did not publicly announce a decision during a Senior Night speech in front of Jayhawks fans chanting "one more year" in March.

"Obviously it's there, the Covid year," Dickinson said at the time, per Gary Bedore of the Kansas City Star.
