Coach Johnson has gotten the Golden Gophers on firmer ground as Minnesota won 19 games a year ago and made it to the second round of the NIT. The Golden Gophers welcome back Big Ten Player of the Year candidate Dawson Garcia, who can match up and be a factor on both end of the floor. Quality transfers entering the program include Mike Mitchell, Jr., (Canisius), Lu'Cyr Patterson (Charlotte), and Tyler Cochran (Toledo).

Discussions Include:

• The impact of Dawson Garcia
• How to prepare posts/bigs to be effective inside the Minnesota program
• Transfers who will help the Gophers move forward
• The growth of the Big Ten
