Gophers junior guard Both Gach was one of two players still on the roster from last season, but he s now expected to enter the transfer portal, a source told the Star Tribune.
Gach, a 6-6 former Austin standout, transferred back to his home state last year after spending his first two seasons at Utah. He averaged 6.8 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 29 games last season, which included 16 starts. Now with the transfer portal, it s almost impossible to keep 13 guys happy, new Gophers coach Ben Johnson said earlier this spring.
In seven nonconference games, Gach averaged 14.7 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists and shot 57% from the field, but he had a difficult time adjusting to Big Ten play, especially after a lingering foot injury.

New Hampshire graduate transfer Sean Sutherlin became the fourth commitment for new Gophers men s basketball coach Ben Johnson on Sunday.
The 6-foot-5, 200-pound former Irondale standout averaged 12.8 points, 9.3 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 2019-20, but he sat out last season after having hip surgery. When Minnesota reached out I was really excited, Sutherlin told the Star Tribune. This is definitely a dream come true. It s something I ve been thinking about for a long time. When coach offered I really had no other choice but to accept.

More than any Big Ten men s basketball team so far this spring, the Gophers have been hit hard by the transfer portal.
Liam Robbins became the eighth Gophers player to enter his name into the transfer portal, sources confirmed Tuesday to the Star Tribune.
Penn State (seven), Nebraska (six) and Indiana (five) are three Big Ten teams that had the most names in the portal behind Minnesota, which has had seven players enter the portal since season s end, along with Jarvis Omersa, who entered after he opted out midseason. It definitely is uncharted waters for everybody, new Gophers coach Ben Johnson said Monday on 100.3 KFAN radio. If any coach told you they ve got it figured out they re lying. Because you don t.

Gophers center Liam Robbins has entered the transfer portal, sources confirmed Tuesday to the Star Tribune.
The 7-foot junior is the seventh player from the roster to end last season to enter the portal, including All-Big Ten point guard Marcus Carr and starting guards Gabe Kalscheur, Jamal Mashburn Jr. and Tre Williams.
Robbins, who averaged 11.7 points, 6.6 rebounds and a Big Ten-best 2.7 blocks this season, was sidelined the last six games with a sprained left ankle. He suffered the injury in the Feb. 11 win vs. Purdue at home.
The Drake transfer tried to play hobbled in three games, but Robbins averaged only two points and three rebounds before shutting it down for the rest of the season.
