Head coach Juwan Howard says, “Today is bittersweet. While Hunter Dickinson’s departure is unfortunate, there are so many reasons to be thankful for and celebrate. This young man has accomplished so much in his three seasons. Statistics aside, Hunter helped us to a Big Ten title, back-to-back Sweet 16s, as well as a memorable Elite Eight run. These are memories that will last a lifetime. We wish Hunter and his family all the best in the future.”

Dickinson is 7-foot-1 center that averaged 18.5 points and nine rebounds this season. He played 94 games averaging 17.2 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks shooting 57 percent from the floor. He is a three-time All-Big Ten honoree being on the first team in 2021 and 2023 and the second team in 2022. He leaves Michigan with the sixth-most career double-doubles and is the 31st play with more than 1,000 points and 500 rebounds.

He joins Jett Howard exiting the program as two of the best players on the team leave. Howard announced earlier that he is entering the NBA Draft.
