Flory Bidunga Withdraws From Transfer Portal, Rejoins Kansas

Kansas basketball forward Flory Bidunga has decided to withdraw from the transfer portal and return to the Jayhawks after a brief stint exploring options. The 6-foot-9 freshman, who averaged 5.9 points and 5.4 rebounds this past season, expressed a desire to continue his development at Kansas and help bring another championship to the program. His return is significant as the team faces considerable roster changes, including the departures of star players. Coach Bill Self has already secured backcourt reinforcements through the transfer portal with Jayden Dawson and Tre White, while also signing three high school players. Despite retaining Bidunga, Self is expected to seek additional frontcourt help to bolster the roster for the upcoming season. Bidunga had received interest from several schools, including Auburn and Indiana, during his time in the portal, underscoring his potential value to the team.
