per Sid:
Now Coffey, who said he is rehabbing daily but is probably two months away from being fully cleared, will be asked to be a leader on a balanced and deep Gophers team that still has very high expectations from everyone on the team.
“If everybody stays healthy, I think we’re a really talented team and we have a combination of young guys and juniors and seniors,” Coffey said. “We have people with experience and if everybody stays healthy and we work hard, we can make it.”
The Gophers will have standout seniors in Jordan Murphy and Dupree McBrayer while featuring juniors Michael Hurt and Coffey, and also Eric Curry, who was part of the same recruiting class with Coffey but missed all of last season because of a knee injury. Sophomore point guard Isaiah Washington will take on a bigger role with Nate Mason graduated, and the freshman class of Gabe Kalscheur, Jarvis Omersa and Daniel Oturu is one of the most highly anticipated in recent Gophers history.
The Gophers also added some transfers from power conference schools: Marcus Carr from Pitt and Payton Willis from Vanderbilt.
“Our freshmen and our transfers all add pieces,” Coffey said. “Our freshman are really skilled and talented. They’re just learning the little stuff we go through. Our transfers are also talented. I think they can all add a special piece to the team.”
When asked what he needs to improve, Coffey said his whole game.
“I just say everything because you can never stop improving,” he said. “Obviously I want to work on my jump shot, three-point shooting and dribbling, stay consistent in the weight room and keep evolving all-around.”
