The majority of the Gopher men’s basketball program’s 2022 recruiting class has now left the U.
On Thursday, sophomore guard Braeden Carrington entered the NCAA transfer portal, a source confirmed to the Pioneer Press. On3 first reported the news.
Carrington joined center Pharrel Payne, who also entered the portal earlier Thursday, and forward Josh Ola-Joseph, who exited Minnesota’s program on Wednesday.
Those three Minnesotans were the foundation of head coach Ben Johnson’s first major class at his alma mater.
The fourth piece, guard Jaden Henley, left for DePaul after his freshman season a year ago. The fifth and final piece of that class is Kayden Betts; he reclassified to the ’22 class and remains at the U.
Carrington, from Brooklyn Park, averaged 4.6 points and 3.2 rebounds across 21 minutes per game this season. He played in 29 games, taking a short break midseason to focus on his mental health.
