Per Stadium’s Jeff Goodman, Dickinson said he’s staying in Michigan because he “felt like I wasn’t done with college basketball yet.”
As a sophomore, Dickinson led Michigan in points (18.6), rebounds (8.6), and blocks (1.5) per game. He steered the Big Ten program to a Sweet 16 appearance as a No. 11 seed with 21 points and four blocks in a first-round win over CSU and 27 points and 11 knocks to upset No. 3 Tennessee.
Though he posted 15 points and rebounds apiece in an elimination loss to Villanova, Dickinson expressed displeasure in his performance when asked about his thoughts on declaring for the NBA Draft.
“If I were to come back, yeah, there would definitely be unfinished business,” Dickinson said last month, per Andrew Kahn of MLive. “I haven’t thought about any of that right now. The feelings of me failing my team are the biggest stuff that’s taking up space in my head right now.”
Dickinson’s declaration is huge news for the Wolverines, who went 19-15 in Howard’s third season as head coach.
