Ranking centers for 2025-26
-
Saw a Sports Illustrated article that ranked Flory Bidunga as the likely 6th best college center for the coming year. From SI: 6. Flory Bidunga, Kansas A former five-star recruit, Bidunga seems primed to explode as a sophomore taking over for Hunter Dickinson as the starting center at Kansas. He’s not your traditional Kansas center, lacking some of the usual post-scoring skill that Bill Self has traditionally valued. That said, Bidunga is a pogo-stick athlete who is elite at protecting the rim and should be a huge asset as a lob target for Darryn Peterson.
They also ranked Zuby Ejiofor at number 1.

Zuby! Impressive

We chose Hunter Dorkenson over him

I believe some of us threw up in our mouths a little bit at the time.

I hated losing Zuby when it happened but he wouldn’t have made a difference the last two years… would’ve been just like Hunte having 3or 4 around him at all times.

Good for Zub… He put his time in and improved his craft. Hard to say what would have happened if he had stayed. I think many of us have come to believe Hunter was good on paper, but his overall impact was a deficit. He also liked to say controversial things and I just don’t think that has a positive impact on the team. Makes me think back at the Morris twins. Anyways… looking forward… and I’m a Flory fan and believe this year will be quite the ride! Anyone predicting National Championship?! I’ve been spending extra time watching DP’s high school days. This kid is a basketball savant! I know he is jumping up a level, but how can his game not translate to college… and quickly the NBA?! I have to admit I see some Kobe in him!

He was a starter who ran when competition was brought in. Zuby sucks. At least Hunter (who was not good for KU) bought in. Zuby is a loser, I don’t care about anything he does elsewhere - it’s all KU or nothing and he accomplished absolutely nothing for KU. The rest of college basketball and the NBA doesn’t exist as far as I’m concerned.

@approxinfinity I mean this is KUbuckets right? Not St Juan’s buckets or wherever that ex Jayhawk plays at. None of that once a Jayhawk always a Jayhawk bs, if you leave for another program you’re a turncoat.
-
@dylans Hunter didn’t buy in. He just wanted money. You could tell by watching him that he didn’t take his conditioning seriously
-
@Jhawk69 great point
-
In fact I think St Johns got Zuby for a steal if I recall. Kid wanted to work his ass off and play.
