During the 2007-2008 season at Kansas, Aldrich's freshman season, his playing time was limited due to playing behind future NBA draft picks Darrell Arthur, Sasha Kaun, and Darnell Jackson. He averaged three rebounds and 2.8 points a game on 8.3 minutes a game during the regular season. Aldrich's best performance came during the Final Four game between Kansas and North Carolina, he played only 168 minutes but managed to grab 8 rebounds and score 7 points along with 4 blocked shots while also playing effective defense against National Player of the Year Tyler Hansbrough, helping lead Kansas into 2008 NCAA national championship game.
With the departure of the other Jayhawk big men to the NBA draft, Aldrich became the premiere big-man going into his sophomore season. Through the first 8 games, he was averaging a double-double with 14.4 points and 10.1 rebounds on 26.3 minutes of play.
