Hunter Dickinson to visit Kentucky this weekend

Jack PIlgrimby:Jack Pilgrim04/20/23

Kentucky is set to host the No. 1 player in the transfer portal this weekend, multiple sources tell KSR.

Michigan star center Hunter Dickinson, who entered the portal back on March 31, will arrive in Lexington on Sunday, April 23 and stay through Tuesday, April 25.

Cats Illustrated’s David Sisk was the first to break the news.

The three-time All-Big Ten performer averaged 18.5 points, 9.0 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks per game as a junior at Michigan in 2022-23, shooting 56 percent from the field.

Kentucky is prepared to take his commitment if Dickinson is wanting to do so, sources tell KSR, with or without Oscar Tshiebwe — who is currently testing the NBA Draft waters — in the fold.

The 7-foot-1 center met with the Wildcats via Zoom back on April 5, the first unofficial meeting between John Calipari and Dickinson to open his transfer recruitment. He took an unofficial visit to Lexington back in high school, but ultimately signed with the Wolverines.

Dickinson is currently on a visit to Kansas and previously took trips to Maryland and Georgetown.

Next up: Kentucky.
