With Daniel Oturu likely heading to the NBA and other frontcourt issues to resolve, the Gophers coaching staff has been combing the transfer market for big men.

College basketball teams with post player needs can’t wait too long. It’s like toilet paper rolls in these hard times. You need to snatch them up before they’re gone.

Coach Richard Pitino has to prepare as if he could lose his starting frontcourt from this season, including Oturu, a sophomore All-America, and departing senior forward Alihan Demir, a former graduate transfer from Drexel.

“We are currently looking to add the right piece or pieces this spring,” Pitino wrote in his blog earlier this week. “Obviously, we have to explore all options as Daniel’s situation evolves.”


Go Gophers!!
