BREAKING: Flory Bidunga Returning to KU

The Jayhawks might've just had their biggest win of the portal season.

Flory Bidunga is removing his name from the transfer portal and will return to play for Kansas. It's a surprising move after he entered the portal one week earlier with Auburn and Indiana as two potential suitors.

It's a huge momentum shift for the Jayhawks, who no longer have a major question mark at the center position. They’ve instead answered that question with the best possible solution.

Bidunga showed flashes of elite potential during his freshman campaign. KU's offense ranked No. 7 nationally during a four-game stretch when Bidunga started in Big 12 play — compared to finishing the year at No. 48.

The rotation becomes much clearer with Darryn Peterson as KU's primary guard and Bidunga anchoring the team down low. If the Jayhawks can add another scoring wing or two, they are very much in business.

Bidunga is now primed to become the next Bill Self big man to develop into elite players with multiple years in the program.
