The Gophers men’s basketball program kept up its busy April in the NCAA transfer portal on Sunday.
Northern Colorado guard Langston Reynolds committed to Minnesota, becoming the fifth incoming player for new coach Niko Medved. The Denver native and to-be-senior has one year of eligibility remaining for the 2025-26 season.
“Let’s work,” Reynolds posted on social media.
Reynolds also visited Texas A&M after entering the portal in late March, but it’s unclear what other programs were pursuing him.
At 6-foot-4 and 205 pounds, Reynolds’ best attribute appears to be his scoring ability. He averaged 16.0 points on 59% from the field —which ranked 20th in the country — as well as 67% from the line and 41% from 3-point range last season. He also put up 5.6 rebounds, 3.4 rebounds and 2.7 turnovers per game.
Reynolds has been a strong, athletic finisher near the rim, but only averaged 1.6 3-point attempts last season.
Reynolds showed huge development across his three years and, and last season, helped lead Northern Colorado to the Big Sky Conference co-regular season championship.
“I worked myself every day,” Reynolds said about the previous offseason during an interview with Pro Insight. “Shot a basketball every day, dribbled a ball, did something, worked on my body. I had to believe in myself that I could be a really good player in this league and probably the best.”
Minnesota is now down to five open roster spots for next season.
