Per Shama:
Niko Medved’s Golden Gophers basketball team began summer workouts this week with small group activities and on-court team play. The NCAA allows eight weeks of practice which will take the Gophers into July including a Fourth of July break.
Medved told Sports Headliners he anticipates an hour per day, four days a week of practice with his roster. He said the roster of players is healthy, in contrast to the past season and offseason last summer.
The Gophers were 15-18 overall last year and 8-12 in Big Ten play. Returning players are Jaylen Crocker-Johnson, Isaac Asuma, Bobby Durkin and Grayson Grove., who all started over 20 games. Kai Shinholster averaged 13 minutes a game as a reserve. Transfers are: Kyan Evans, Winters Grady, Nolan Groves, Malick Kordel and Malachi Palmer. Freshmen are: Nolen Anderson, Cedric Tomes, Chadrack Mpoyi and Blake Nixon.
Medved is pleased with his returning core and newcomers. “We’ve got more size, depth and length all the way across the board.”
With the announcement of a game November 6 against St. Thomas, Medved is looking for one more game to complete his yet to be announced nonconference schedule. He has been looking for a Power 4 opponent and has interest in a home-and-home series.
Go Gophers!!
