per Marcus:
A vital piece to the biggest recruiting win for Gophers men's basketball in nearly 20 years was Marcus Jenkins, an assistant coach who built relationships to help land five-star center Dennis Evans III.
Gophers coach Ben Johnson credited Jenkins when he introduced his highly touted 2023 class Wednesday, after Evans and four-star Illinois guard Cameron Christie had officially signed.
"It starts with Marcus," Johnson said. "He did a great job building relationships with key people early."
Jenkins is an Air Force graduate who spent three years as a logistics officer at Malmstrom (Mont.) Air Force Base. Throughout his coaching career, he has found ways to connect to players and the people around them, leaning on his military background.
The Gophers will honor Jenkins and others who have served when celebrating Veterans Day during Friday's game against St. Francis Brooklyn at Williams Arena.
