per Marcus:
Currently, there are six newcomers on the 2018-19 team with three freshmen (Daniel Oturu, Jarvis Omersa, Gabe Kalscheur) and three transfers (Marcus Carr, Payton Willis, Brock Stull).
The more the merrier, right. Maybe, if they can find the right fit.
CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein reported Wednesday that Minnesota and Maryland were interested in Kansas transfer Sam Cunliffe, who announced recently he was leaving the Jayhawks.
A source confirmed to the Star Tribune that the U has serious interest in Cunliffe, who has two years remaining but needs to sit this year. The 6-foot-6 former starting wing at Arizona State, though, told the Seattle Times he wanted to be closer to home. The Seattle native is meeting with Washington Huskies soon.
“I’m definitely looking at,” Cunliffe said in the Times article. “I’ll see if I can figure something out with them.”
The Huskies have an open scholarship, but it's not for certain that they take him. If that doesn’t work out Cunliffe could consider other programs like Minnesota.
Another possible 2018 candidate was 6-7, 210-pound forward Nathan Johnson from Waukee, Iowa.
Johnson was likely heading to Hargrave Military Academy (Va.) and reclassifying to the 2019 class. But at one point, he heard from Boston College, Dayton, Loyola-Chicago and Minnesota about possibly entering college in the fall.
Johnson said Thursday the Ramblers are currently the only school still considering him for 2018.
“Some schools were toying with the possibility of 2018, because of how well I played this summer,” Johnson told the Star Tribune. “Minnesota is on me only for 2019 now.”
