The Gophers men’s basketball team received a commitment from North Carolina transfer Cade Tyson on Sunday, according to On3.com. A 6-foot-7 wing from Monroe, N.C., Tyson appears to have one season of eligibility remaining for Minnesota.
As a sophomore at Belmont, Tyson averaged 16.2 points a game on 49% from the field and 46% from 3-point range in 2023-24. But last season with the Tar Heels, he put up only 2.6 points per game while playing an average of 7.9 minutes across 31 games.
As a freshman at Belmont, Tyson averaged 13.6 points on 49% from the field and 42% from deep.
Minnesota has added nine players via the NCAA transfer portal and has one vacant scholarship spot for next season.
Tyson’s older brother, Hunter, played at Clemson and was drafted in the 2023 second round by the Denver Nuggets.
