per Chad:
Coffey grew up attending Gophers gamesin seats right behind the home bench and envisioned himself playing on the raised hardwood floor of Williams Arena. After the elder Coffey spent countless hours in the gym with the younger, the college offers poured in.
But even during that time, Coffey said, he never felt pressure to follow in his father’s footsteps.
“Most people think I just came here because my dad wanted me to, but he wanted me to take my time with it and go where I was comfortable,” Coffey said. “He was going to roll with me wherever I went.”
As the Gophers look to turn the page on a disastrous year, eyes turn now to the state’s top recruit, who bucked trend to try to bring success back to Williams Arena.
“I know the fans here are pretty loyal,” Coffey said. “And they love seeing homegrown kids on the team.”
