She also shot a career-best 36 percent from the 3-point line. She also grabbed 5.8 rebounds and dished out 2.3 assists. Jackson was their second-leading scorer at 11.6 points. Arike led the Miners with 11.9 points and grabbed nearly six rebounds. Tech grabbed two UTEP transfers - forward Elina Arike and guard Jazion Jackson. The Texas Tech women have a full roster for 2023-24 and coach Krista Gerlich and her staff did a solid job in the portal. Plus, Kyle Cuffe Jr.’s move to the transfer portal gives Kansas the chance to add another piece for next season. Towson guard Nicolas Timberlake shot 40 percent or better from the 3-point line each of the past two seasons. The addition of guard Arterio Morris from Texas earlier this week gives the Jayhawks a guard to play off of point guard Dajuan Harris Jr. He fills perhaps Kansas’ biggest need this offseason. He averaged nearly two assists, so he does have some passing ability down low, too. He can also hit the 3-pointer, shooting 42.1 percent last season. That’s something the Jayhawks need.ĭickinson averaged 18.5 points and 9.0 rebounds last season. Adams as a ‘small five,” but Dickinson, at 7-foot-1, brings height that has been successful in the Jayhawks’ offensive and defensive schemes.

Kansas didn’t have a true center last season. But, he ended up selecting Kansas, and the Jayhawks have a clear need for a player of his skill and make-up. I’m not sure any single player milked the transfer portal for more attention than former Michigan center Hunter Dickinson.
