Is it unlikely? Obviously. But as fans, why not hold out hope for two years of Dickinson? KU can likely offer better benefits with NIL than he would receive in the NBA.

Perhaps he loves college basketball and just wants to spend another year at Kansas, especially if they fall short of a national championship, and that is a goal he is striving for.

He played in the COVID year, so just like Dajuan Harris is, Dickinson is eligible for a fifth season. Imagine how good those two would be at 24 years old.
