Kansas Center Crisis Looms | College Basketball News

Kansas basketball’s frontcourt is in chaos after losing Flory Bidunga to Louisville and Darryn Peterson to the NBA draft, leaving them scrambling for answers at center. Christian Reeves, recovering from injury, and returning junior Paul Mbiya are the main options—with Mbiya looking like the favorite and showing breakout potential. Reeves’ injury history and lack of big-game experience raise red flags. Expect limited minutes for whoever starts, with coaches likely rotating heavily. The offense will rely on guards Tyran Stokes and Leroy Blyden Jr. to carry the load, while Keanu Dawes might see some five minutes if he can handle the physicality. Without a clear solution, Kansas’s center position remains a glaring weakness heading into the season. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
