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.

BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — Several people were injured and some may have been set on fire at an outdoor mall in Boulder, Colorado, police said. Police said a man was taken into custody in the attack that the FBI immediately described as a “targeted terror attack.”

Boulder Police Chief Steve Redfearn told reporters Sunday evening that it was too early to discuss a motive but that witnesses were being interviewed.

“It would be irresponsible for me to speculate on motive this early on,” he said.

The Boulder attack took place at a popular pedestrian mall known for attracting tourists and college students. On Sunday, demonstrators with a volunteer group called Run For Their Lives had gathered to call for the release of hostages who remain in Gaza. The group has multiple chapters across the world that regularly meet to walk to advocate for hostage releases.

Sunday’s attack also occurred as law enforcement authorities in the U.S. grapple with a spike in antisemitic violence. And last week, a man was arrested on charges in the fatal shooting of two Israeli embassy staffers and shouted “Free Palestine” as he was being led away by police.

Boulder police said there were “several victims” in the attack. The injuries authorities found were consistent with reports of individuals being set on fire, Redfearn said, adding that injuries ranged from serious to minor.

Multiple blocks of the pedestrian mall area were evacuated by police. The scene shortly after the attack was tense, as law enforcement agents with a police dog walked through the streets looking for threats and instructed the public to stay clear of the pedestrian mall.

“Our agents and local law enforcement are on the scene already, and we will share updates as more information becomes available,” FBI Director Kash Patel posted on social media.

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis said in a statement that he was “closely monitoring” the situation, adding that “hate-filled acts of any kind are unacceptable.”

The Gophers football program stacked up five commitments to its 2026 recruiting class on Sunday.

Two offensive linemen were the first to join next year’s class during the U’s big official visit weekend in Dinkytown.

Mataalii Benjamin, a 6-foot-6, 305-pound tackle from Lehi, Utah, picked Minnesota over more than 15 offers, including Nebraska, Utah, Oklahoma State, Washington and others. The three-star prospect is the second commit from Utah, a state usually untapped by the Gophers. He had other visits planned with Nebraska, Arkansas and Utah.

Daniel McMorris, a 6-5, 255-pound tackle from Norman, Okla., chose the U over more than 20 offers, including Wisconsin, Kansas State, Iowa State, Stanford, Oregon State and others. The three-star prospect is the fourth O-lineman in the class; four-star Andrew Trout of Cold Spring joined last year and three-star Gavin Meier of Janesville, Wis., put himself in the group this spring.

The U added three defensive players next.

Angel Luciano III, a 6-3, 225-pound linebacker from Harrisbugh, Pa., took Minnesota over a group of Big Ten competition, including Michigan State, Wisconsin, Indiana, Maryland as well as Cincinnati, Virginia Tech and more. The three-star recruit is the second linebacker in 2026 class, joining Hudson Dunn of Peoria, Ariz.

Aaden Aytch, who is listed at 6-4 and 220 pounds out of Lafayette, Ind., flipped his commitment from Northern Illinois to the Gophers. The three-star defensive end with a 6-7 wingspan pledged to Minnesota before scheduled visits at Iowa, Kentucky, Purdue and Michigan State later in June.

Anthony Charles, a 6-5, 200-pound edge rushers from McDonald, Pa., picked the Gophers over offers from Penn State, Wisconsin, Michigan, Michigan State and others. With a wingspan approaching 7 feet, Charles had visits scheduled with the Badgers and Nittany Lions before committing to the U while on campus this weekend.

Minnesota’s class now has 15 total pledges for next season.
