Per Rothstein:
Minnesota: This past year for the Gophers was one to forget.
Next season may be one to remember.
Despite an 8-23 record with only a pair of Big Ten wins, there's reason for optimism within Minnesota's program.
The Golden Gophers will add a Top-40 prospect in wing Amir Coffey as well as two transfers in Reggie Lynch (Illinois State) and Davonte Fitzgerald (Texas A&M), who could both find their way into the starting lineup.
The 6-9, 260 pound Lynch is a below the rim low-post scorer who should give Minnesota a true option to throw the ball to in the paint.
Richard Pitino also returns a capable lead guard in Nate Mason as well as power forward Jordan Murphy, who averaged 11.6 points and 8.0 rebounds as a freshman.
This should be a postseason team in 2017.
