Kansas basketball's roster is finally built properly around Hunter Dickinson
The Jayhawks have added the pieces they need to compete for a national championship
The Jayhawks have been one of the most successful college basketball programs in the country over the past few decades, but they have not won a national championship since 2008.
In recent years, Kansas has struggled to keep up with the top teams in the country. The Jayhawks have not reached the Final Four since 2018, and they have not won a Big 12 regular season title since 2018.
However, Kansas is hoping to change that this season. The Jayhawks have added several key pieces to their roster, including transfer forward Hunter Dickinson.
Dickinson was one of the best players in the country last season at Michigan. The 7-foot-1 center averaged 18.1 points and 8.6 rebounds per game. He was also a finalist for the Naismith Player of the Year Award.
Dickinson is a major addition for Kansas. He gives the Jayhawks a legitimate low-post threat and a force on the boards. He is also a good passer and can help create for others.
In addition to Dickinson, Kansas has also added several other key players, including transfer guard Kevin McCullar and freshman forward Gradey Dick. McCullar is a versatile wing who can play both guard positions. Dick is a highly touted recruit who is known for his shooting ability.
With the addition of Dickinson, McCullar, and Dick, Kansas now has a roster that is built to compete for a national championship. The Jayhawks have a good mix of size, athleticism, and shooting. They also have a lot of experience, with several players who have played in big games.
Kansas is the preseason No. 1 team in the country. The Jayhawks have a lot of expectations this season, but they have the talent to meet them.
