Kansas forward Flory Bidunga plans to enter NCAA transfer portal

Kansas forward Flory Bidunga has informed the Jayhawks staff that he plans to enter the NCAA transfer portal, ESPN’s Pete Thamel reports. However, he is keeping the option of a return to Lawrence next season open. On3’s Joe Tipton confirmed the news.

Bidunga played one season for the Jayhawks. The 6 foot 9 freshman averaged 5.9 points per game and 5.4 rebounds during the 2024-25 season.

A former McDonald’s All-American, Bidunga was a four-star recruit and top 20 prospect in the 2024 recruiting class, according to the On3 Industry Rankings, which is a proprietary algorithm that compiles ratings and rankings from all four primary recruiting media services. He was the No. 17 overall recruit, No. 1 player out of the state of Indiana and No. 3 center in his class.

As of Wednesday, March 26, over 1,250 Men’s College Basketball players have entered the NCAA Transfer Portal. That number is expected to grow as the 2024-25 college basketball season nears its end.

Kansas forward Zach Clemence enters NCAA Transfer Portal

Kansas junior forward Zach Clemence has entered the NCAA Transfer Portal. That comes via On3’s Pete Nakos.

This is the second time the 6-foot-11 power forward has entered the transfer portal. He previously did so following the 2022-23 season before opting to return to the Jayhawks and redshirt during the 2023-24 season.

Clemence has played in 52 career games across three seasons at Kansas, averaging just 1.7 points, 1.5 rebounds and 5.3 minutes per game during that span. Clemence appeared in just eight games during the 2024-25 season before a groin injury ended his year in mid-December, scoring a total of 11 points with 11 rebounds off the bench.

In Febrauary, Kansas head coach Bill Self suggested Clemence was close to returning to practice. However, he ultimately never appeared in another game in Lawrence.

“I think Zach’s closer to being able to practice some,” Self said. “I don’t think he’s close to being able to play in a game yet, and he’s been cleared to do some things in practice, but he’s not at the point where he can go every day.”

Clemence was a four-star prospect out of Sunrise Christian High in San Antonio (TX). He was the No. 67 overall recruit in the 2021 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.
