per Marcus:
"I'm from here and this is my dream school," Sutherlin said. "Ben Johnson took a [chance] on me because there were a lot of questions around my injury."
Sutherlin grew up 15 minutes from the U campus, but his high school recruitment flew under the radar. He was an athletic, physically tough and undersized wing who finished his career third on Irondale's all-time scoring list, but he had no Division I or Division II offers and ended up in junior college.
"Sean's just embracing the opportunity to play at this level and to play at Minnesota," Johnson said. "I think he truly wants to do whatever he can to help us win and be successful."
