Per Marcus:
Showing off an all-Gophers fashion ensemble with a maroon hat, hoodie and shorts, Dawson Garcia proudly represented the U during his first ever summer basketball camp at Prior Lake.
Players wore T-shirts with his likeness on the front. Autograph lines formed, following the three-hour session that raised money for the Prior Lake youth program that produced Garcia.
"He is awesome with the young guys," Prior Lake coach Jon Miller said. "He loves giving back and representing [Prior Lake] and the Gophers."
This wasn't just any college basketball player showing up at his high school alma mater. Garcia's the face of the Gophers. And he's much more comfortable being their leader now in his second summer in Ben Johnson's program.
"My second year at Minnesota, I just want to leave my handprint on every aspect of the game," Garcia said, as summer practice wrapped up last week.
"I know if we want to be really good and be where we want to be, I have to step up and take my game to another level," Garcia said.
