5. Kansas Jayhawks

Just like how Alabama could use Miller as a selling point, Kansas certainly has a recent case of its own in Jalen Wilson. The 6’8 forward averaged 20.1 ppg and 8.3 rpg this past season for the Jayhawks and was an All-American and Big 12 Player of the Year winner.

He’s gone, along with star freshman wing, Gradey Dick. They have landed 18 ppg scoring transfer Nick Timberlake to boost the offense on the perimeter but the frontcourt is still a work in progress. The team may not even be able to focus on Holland, as they’re all hands on deck for Michigan transfer center, Hunter Dickinson.

But as a backup plan, they should see if Holland wants to play for a recent NCAA Basketball champion. Head coach Bill Self is one of the best in the game and the forward would play with one of the most unselfish point guards in the country in Dajuan Harris. Forward KJ Adams is a nice complementary piece in the frontcourt as well.

Between that and playing in the Big 12, there are plenty of selling points in play if Kansas is interested. But like all teams in the Dickinson sweepstakes, the Jayhawks may be hesitant to look at other frontcourt players until that’s resolved.
