Kansas Jayhawks’ Hunter Dickinson garners 2nd-team consensus All-America honors
University of Kansas men’s basketball senior center Hunter Dickinson has been named 2024 consensus All-America second team, the NCAA has announced.
Dickinson, a 7-foot-2 native of Alexandria, Virginia, who also was second-team consensus All-America at Michigan in 2021. According to the NCAA record book, he is the second NCAA Division I player to be a consensus All-America at two schools. Elmer Oliphant was a consensus All-America pick at Purdue in 1914 and at Army in 1915.
The 2024 consensus All-America first team consists of RJ Davis (North Carolina), Zach Edey (Purdue), Dalton Knecht (Tennessee), Tristen Newton (Connecticut) and Jamal Shead (Houston). Dickinson was joined on the second team by Kyle Filipowski (Duke), DaRon Holmes (Dayton), Tyler Kolek (Marquette) and Mark Sears (Alabama).
The aggregate results from four organizations — Associated Press, Sporting News, United States Basketball Writers of America and NABC —determine the first-team and second-team selections.
Dickinson — he averaged 17.9 points and 10.9 rebounds a game for the (23-11) Jayhawks — earned second-team All-America honors from the AP, TSN and USBWA and was third-team NABC.
This is the third straight season a Jayhawk has been consensus All-America. KU’s Ochai Agbaji in 2022 and Jalen Wilson in 2023 earned first-team honors.
Dickinson is the 17th consensus All-America selection (first or second team) in the 21-year Bill Self era. That’s more than any other school in a 21-year span. Duke is second with 14, followed by Gonzaga (12), Kentucky (11) and North Carolina (10).
Dickinson has career totals of 2,208 points and 1,148 rebounds. He is one of four active players in NCAA Division I to surpass both 2,200 points and 1,100 rebounds. Others: Edey, Amanda Bacot (North Carolina) and Baylor Scheierman (Creighton).
