Minnesota Gophers Will Have New Talent on the Williams Arena Court in 2011

The Minnesota Gophers will return a lot of talent to the court in 2011, as well as bring in some new talent. All-Big Ten forward Trevor Mbakwe is expected to return, as is center Ralph Sampson III. Both are seniors but have been rumored to be considered in the NBA Draft. One of the top recruits coming into Minnesota next season will be Andre Hollins. He was Tennessee's Mr. Basketball and got increasingly more national recognition this season. He will be joined by Minnesota's Mr. Basketball, Joe Coleman who led Hopkins High School to their 3rd straight title. They will be joined by Junior College transfers Andre Ingram and Julian Welch. The Minnesota Gophers will definitely return some great talent!
