#12 - Minnesota Golden Gophers (--)
After a rough year, Minnesota bounced back nicely during last season. The Gophers were able to jump out to a nice start and ended up finishing 22-14 overall. Minnesota also beat Louisville in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament before falling short against Michigan State in the Round of 32.

The Gophers will now have the challenge of replacing a number of key contributors. Amir Coffey declared for the NBA Draft and Dupree McBrayer, Jordan Murphy, and Matz Stockman are all graduating. Isaiah Washington also announced he would be transferring.

Luckily, Minnesota will have some key pieces to work with for next season. Gabe Kalscheur returns in the backcourt, Jarvis Omersa should be back on the wing, and Daniel Oturu returns upfront. Minnesota is also adding a fringe top 100 prospect in Tre Williams in the backcourt and Alihan Demir on the transfer market.

Unfortunately, there just isn’t much proven star power on Minnesota’s roster heading into next season. It will be up to Richard Pitino and his staff to find some depth players that can take the next step.
