I'm Hearing Flory Bidunga plans to enter the transfer portal, ending a week of speculation about the former 5-star freshman. ESPN has since confirmed the KUHearings update.

I’ve Heard KU wanted Bidunga to return, and it appears to mark a significant blow to Kansas' frontcourt plans for next season. I don’t think KU expected this when the season ended.

While Bidunga showed flashes of his elite potential during his freshman year, his playing time fluctuated. I’d Heard multiple times this year that his camp wasn’t thrilled with how he was being handled.

Most notably, Bidguna had a four-game stretch playing 25+ minutes with KJ Adams sidelined with an injury. KU went 3-1 in this period, with the lone loss coming in a double overtime collapse to Houston.

When Adams returned, Bidunga's role immediately diminished - managing just one field goal attempt against Baylor and only two against Iowa State in the games that followed.

Check his game log here.

Note: This is not, in any way, an indictment on Adams. This is about a year of decisions related to Flory or KU.

The Jayhawks now face a critical need in the frontcourt. This departure, combined with the expected exits of several other players, creates major roster challenges for Bill Self and his staff.

Check out VIP below for more news on who else might hit the portal.

This is the text update I sent out a little after 12pm CT today.
