The Gophers men’s basketball team hasn’t produced a first-round NBA draft pick since Kris Humphries in 2004, but Ben Johnson hopes that changes this week.
The Gophers are among schools that have offered scholarships to Dothan Ijadimbola of Totino-Grace and Cedric Tomes of East Ridge, who are summer AAU teammates.
The Gophers will open the Big Ten softball tournament on Wednesday with the conference’s most prolific hitter on their side. Jess Oakland has been a force as a sophomore.
