Expectations were raised for the Golden Gophers when transfers Liam Robbins (Drake) and Both Gach (Utah) were both granted immediate eligibility, and together, the duo might be one of the most underrated additions nationwide. Robbins, a 7-footer, sported the nation’s sixth-highest block rate last season, and could go a long way to making up for the loss of Daniel Oturu in the frontcourt. Meanwhile, the 6’ 6” Gach is coming off a solid sophomore season at Utah and has the ability to play either lead guard spot, adding another dynamic to the Marcus Carr/Gabe Kalscheur-led backcourt. This is a deeper group than the one that sputtered down the stretch in 2019–20, and that should make a difference. It feels a bit unfair to have the Gophers this low, but in a stacked conference, there’s not a ton of separation.
Go Gophers!!
