All Things 2025-26 Free Agency/Roster Updates for the Local Squads (only Gophers & UST)

[SelectionSunday]

If you see any reports about the Gophers or UST rosters, please link here. I'll keep these updated as much as I can. If you have no interest in the St. Thomas roster, that's cool, no need to pay attention or comment to this thread.

Rosters are listed alphabetically and with next season's (if applicable) eligibility class. Let me know if you see a mistake or if I've missed something.

Minnesota Gophers
Isaac Asuma (So.)
Kaydn Betts (Jr.) -- free agent
Tyler Cochran (Sr.) -- free agent
Grayson Grove (Fr.)
Frank Mitchell (Sr.) -- signs with Saint Bonaventure
Erik Reader (Jr.)
Brennan Rigsby (Sr.)
Max Sheridan (Jr.)

St. Thomas Tommies
Miles Barnstable (Sr.) -- free agent
Carter Bjerke (Jr.)
Kendall Blue (Sr.)
Jermaine Coleman (So.)

[Holy Man]

[SelectionSunday]

Rigsby still with eligibility?

Sure sounds like he'll get another year of eligibility because he was a juco at one point.

 

[Roland Brooks]

Barnstable is interesting he is very athletic but he is a 6’1 two guard and a streaky shooter… curious where he ends up

Rosters are listed alphabetically and with next season's (if applicable) eligibility class. Let me know if you see a mistake or if I've missed something. As the free agent market kicks into full gear and either or both schools start adding players, I'll eventually weed out players who've exhausted their eligibility.

Minnesota Gophers
Isaac Asuma (So.)
Kaydn Betts (Jr.) -- free agent
Tyler Cochran (Sr.) -- free agent
Trey Edmonds -- out of eligibility
Parker Fox -- out of eligibility
Dawson Garcia -- out of eligibility
Grayson Grove (Fr.)
Lincoln Meister -- out of eligibility
Frank Mitchell (Sr.) -- free agent commits to Saint Bonaventure
Mike Mitchell Jr. -- out of eligibility
Femi Odukale -- out of eligibility
Lu'Cye Patterson -- out of eligibility
Erik Reader (Jr.)
Brennan Rigsby (Sr.)

[Slim Tubby]

Having a combined Free Agency/Roster thread on GH seems a bit unfair to UST fans by making them have to scroll through all the Gopher-related crap to get their preferred news and updates.

 

[Spottedmuskie]

Too bad Dobbs doesn't have another season

You think there's any chance he tests the waters and comes back? That's usually not the case with portal guys, but it does happen occasionally.

Sure would be nice if Rohde came back for another ride, though I hear he's headed to Iowa State.

Yea I am sure it’s possible IMO..

Yeah Rohde would be a nice reunion. Rohde needs the ball in his hands to be effective the UVA interim coach did that and he played well… he can run an offense and he shot well.. Iowa St Lipsey has the ball a lot.. interesting

 

[Drake University Gopher]

Would also be interesting to have a list of portal players that we have offered / reached out to (although that might be asking a lot). Appreciate you!

 

[Word]

Why is St Thomas combined???

That's nearly an impossible task. I'll stick simply to who commits to the local squads and who officially commits elsewhere!

That's why the Gophers are listed first. (wink emoji)!

 

[50PoundHead]

Sure sounds like he'll get another year of eligibility because he was a juco at one point.

If that's the case, he'll be able to play until he's eligible to collect Social Security.

 

[Rocksoldier]

Rigsby still with eligibility?

Because the Juco year they’re not gonna count them I guess

 

[Holy Man]

If that's the case, he'll be able to play until he's eligible to collect Social Security.

At his age that might be in his 80’s.

Dude I think most of what you do on here is a nearly impossible task! All good.

I did not know this was the Tommy Hole.

Maybe someday they'll have enough fans to have their own message board.

 

[howeda7]

I did not know this was the Tommy Hole.

Did you try googling that?

 

[Cmich Gopher]

I did not know this was the Tommy Hole.

SS is an exemplary contributor to the board. If the price of that is scrolling past some UST content periodically I will pay it gladly.

[Bad Gopher]

Did you try googling that?

Yeah, it sounds like a euphemism for something.

 

[FinnGopher]

Yeah, it sounds like a euphemism for something.

You folks would have to talk with the boyz at the privileged private school in Mendota Heights where they chant Tommies name.

there's gotta be a tommy boy quote in there somewhere

Talk to Zalinsky.
