Gophers men’s basketball player Brennan Rigsby is entering the NCAA transfer portal, a source confirmed to the Pioneer Press on Thursday.
This leaves new men’s basketball coach Niko Medved with two scholarship players for next season: rising sophomores Isaac Asuma and Grayson Grove. Rigby’s exit leaves the U with 11 open scholarships for the 2025-26 season.
Rigsby, who joined Minnesota after two seasons at Oregon, averaged 5.4 points, shooting 38% from the field and 29% from 3-point range in 16.8 minutes per game last season.
