Is Hunter Dickinson the biggest loser in CBB history?

[WeAreDePaul]

Guy hasn't been to the S16 since his sophmore year when he was playing with 3 NBA players.

Guy has one NCAA win in the last 3 years despite playing 2 of those years for a Blue Blood and 1 of those years for a team that had been to 5 straight sweet 16s.


Has there ever been a player who has accomplished less in terms of wins and losses relative to the schools he played for and opportunities he had?

 

[JC for 3]

He was simply awful in KU's game in the tournament w/Arky. KU was better with him on the bench.

 

[MGO2022]

I mean he still made off with at least a couple mil. He always has had plenty of talent, but at the same time he always has been prone to being lazy af. His final half of college basketball couldn’t have possibly been more ass.

 

[AWilli6995]

I always thought he wasn't all that plus the attitude, I'm sure KU fans are glad he's gone

Self is probably wishing he had went in another direction.

 

[GE Nole]

Lorenzo Romar woul like a word.

 

[Random UK Fan]

He’s the Jim Kelly of college basketball.

 

[hailtoyourvictor]

Juwan Howard was able to ride him to an Elite 8

He definitely sucked in the 2nd half vs Arkansas, but he'd been averaging 24 and 12 for several weeks leading up to that game. I don't think he's among Self's biggest regrets. Right now, Self is probably regretting his loyalty to Harris and Adams. Could've had Javon Small and McNeely, among others.

He's also regretting the investment in Storr, who apparently turned out to be a shithead.

Who does KU have returning (potentially) next year other than Bidunga?

 

[Rod Dangerfield]

Webber. Chris Webber.

I didn't see as much of him once he left the conference, but he definitely seemed to lose his competitive edge as his career went on.

Like the version of him that came out against Luka Garza when he was a frosh seems like a different dude than what you saw against Jonas freaking Aidoo last week. Given that was also like a decade ago.

Not much. Elmarko Jackson, who was injured before the start of the season, freshman Passmore, McDowell (red-shirted). Probably a less than 50% chance that Griffen comes back.

I think they're looking for three starters from the portal to go with Peterson and Bidunga.

Is Bidunga confirmed to be staying put?

Dudes a freak.

It's not 100%. Sounds like he's listening to offers. But I think they expect him back.

I agree with you. I got the vibe he has just been going through the motions. He really plateaued.

 

[RetirementRickBarnes]

I'm still upset he cooked TN as a sophomore but TN's team other than Kennedy Chandler shit the bed too. I still hold a grudge against those guys for that loss. It's one of the few "bad" losses Barnes has had at TN

 

[duckboy33]

Lorenzo Romar woul like a word.

I actually saw Lorenzo Romar in Eugene at Five Guys once. He was recruiting MJ Cage who had recently transferred from Oregon. At that time, he was just named the coach at Pepperdine.

He brought some major talent into UW. Brandon Roy, Isaiah Thomas, Nate Robinson, Terrence Ross, Matisse Thybulle, Dejounte Murray, Markelle Fultz.

He brought super elite talent. No doubt. And he turned it into some epic NIT teams.

Welp looks like he's going portaling. Still a chance he returns or you think he goes elsewhere?

Some think there’s a legitimate chance he leaves. This crap changes every five minutes, so it’s pointless to even try to predict,

 

[Demarcus Kidd-Miller]

It really does. Shits kind of dumb. I wish they made it where you could only transfer once for free, then you had to have a really good reason to transfer again.

 

[dukedevilz]

Easily the worst 3x All-American of all-time.

 

[Rod Dangerfield]

Guy is a dick head.

For sure. Unlimited annual free agency is bad for everyone involved. So many kids have people giving them bad advice

He turned down a lot from Alabama. He might have been difference in Alabama UConn in 2024.

 

[ExitFlagger]

KU insiders have said that Dickinson made less than 1 mil per year.

I think MOST of the NIL numbers we see are inflated. It's hard to believe any school is going to pay players 3 or 4 million dollars for one season. There is no way that is sustainable. Where will all that money come from? I dont believe boosters are going to come up off of that kind of money year after year. I may be wroing, but I dodnt see it.

I don’t think most of the players asking for 3/4 are going to get it. Hopefully not anyway.

Also, what they’re promised and what they ultimately receive are sometimes very different, from what I’ve heard.

I don't remember the numbers but there some something going around on how much Jeremy Roach got when he ws at Duke. He came out publicly and said he never got anything even close to what was reported.

has there ever been a 3x AA who accomplished less from a team perspective during those AA years?

Doug McDermott was a 3x 1st Team All-American and he never made it past the Round of 32. But, of course, his teams weren't nearly as talented as the ones Dickinson had with Michigan/Kansas.
