per Fox 9:
So what will Minnesota look like next year? The reality is we don’t have any idea yet, and won’t for a while. At least not until spring recruiting finalizes itself.
Seniors Dupree McBrayer, Murphy, Brock Stull, Matz Stockman and Jarvis Johnson will be gone after graduating.
As for who is returning, we know that guard Marcus Carr will be eligible next season after sitting out due to NCAA transfer rules. The same goes for Payton Willis. Other returners include Gabe Kalscheur, Jarvis Omersa, Daniel Oturu, Eric Curry, Michael Hurt, Eric Curry, Isaiah Washington and Amir Coffey, who will test the NBA Draft waters but likely return.
Reports indicate there won’t be any transfers this off-season, which would mean there are three scholarships available after Tre Williams signed in the fall. So who will the new faces be next season?
Don’t rule out top-10 ranked high school senior Matthew Hurt, at least not yet. He’s made it clear in the past he would like to play one college season with his brother. Michael Hurt will be a senior next year, and recently said he’s staying with the Gophers despite reports he would graduate early and transfer. But Pitino has an uphill climb, as Matthew Hurt is still being courted by Kansas, Duke, North Carolina, Kentucky and Memphis as well as the Gophers. He’ll make his decision on April 19, giving his family an early birthday present.
There’s also been a narrative that Pitino hasn’t recruited Minnesota well. It depends on how you look at it. His first big local signee was DeLaSalle star Jarvis Johnson, who was never medically cleared to play by the NCAA due to a heart condition. He was able to keep Coffey home, and he has the best chance to be Minnesota’s first NBA draft choice since Kris Humphries.
The Gophers’ starting five this season included DeLaSalle’s Kalscheur, Cretin-Derham Hall’s Oturu and Coffey. Orono product Jarvis Omersa spent most of the season on the bench, but gave quality minutes in the NCAA Tournament loss to Michigan State with Murphy’s back ailing.
