[BleedGopher]

per Marcus:

Gophers junior walk-on Stephon Sharp decided to leave the team to focus on school, according to a team spokesman.

Sharp, a former Hopkins standout, averaged 2.5 points in 24 games during two seasons at Minnesota, including four starts at point guard in 2015-16.

Last season, the 6-foot-3 Sharp appeared in nine games, but he was limited to just two minutes in Big Ten play. He will remain a student at the U and pursue a degree in sports management.
