The Gophers men’s basketball program has added to its roster in consecutive days.
Incoming freshman guard Kai Shinholster said he will remain in the U’s 2025 class through the coaching change from Ben Johnson to Niko Medved.
“Locked in!!” Shinholster posted on social media Tuesday.
Shinholster’s news comes after Colorado State forward Jaylen Crocker-Johnson entered the transfer portal and committed to Minnesota on Tuesday. Crocker-Johnson has two years of eligibility remaining for the U.
Shinholster, a 6-foot-5 combo guard from Philadelphia, is a three-star recruit who had scholarship offers from Mississippi State, James Madison, St. Louis, Tempe and others.
The two other signees from Johnson’s class — center Parker Jefferson and guard Jacob Ross — said within the last week they want out of their national letters of intent to Minnesota.
The Gophers now has four roster spots filled — including to-be sophomores Isaac Asuma and Grayson Grove — and nine open scholarship spots for next season.
