The Gophers men’s basketball program has added to its backcourt in consecutive days.
Western Michigan point guard Chansey Willis committed to the U on Monday, following combo guard Langston Reynolds from Northern Colorado on Sunday.
Willis, who is listed at 6-foot-2 and 190 pounds, averaged 16.8 points and 5.8 assists in 24 games last season. He shot 43% from the field, 28% from 3-point range and 72% from the free-throw line.
Willis might have two years of eligibility remaining for Minnesota, following the start of his college career at Saginaw Valley State (Division II) as a freshman and Henry Ford College (a junior college) as a sophomore. Within the last year, current college players have not had years spent at junior college count against their NCAA eligibility.
Willis, a Detroit native, was the state of Michigan’s Gatorade Player of the Year in 2022.
The Gophers now have four scholarship spots still available for next season.
247Sports first reported Willis’ commitment to the U.
