per Marcus:
Ben Johnson landed his biggest addition this offseason with North Carolina big man Dawson Garcia, but the Gophers are far from done in the transfer portal this spring.
The recruiting never stops with roster building, especially when the backcourt is bare. Point guard is the biggest need for the Gophers after standout Payton Willis' eligibility was up.
The next players to help fill that role could be Elon's Hunter McIntosh or Morehead State's Ta'Lon Cooper, who are both visiting this week.
McIntosh, who arrived on Minnesota's campus on Tuesday, said earlier that the Gophers "expressed it would be a great opportunity for me if I came."
The 6-2, 180-pound McIntosh started 85 games in three years at Elon and is a three-time All-Colonial Athletic Association selection, including second team and third team honors the last two seasons.
The Snellville, Ga., native ranked second on the team in scoring (13.3) and assists (2.8) and was second in the CAA in three-point percentage (37.8) and third in threes per game (2.7) as a junior this year.
In his last 12 games, McIntosh averaged 16.2 points and scored in double figures 10 times including a season-high 23 points on 5-for-9 shooting from beyond the arc and 8-for-8 foul shooting in a win vs. James Madison.
