The Gophers men’s basketball program had a visit with a top in-state recruit scheduled for Monday. They didn’t make it that far.

Orono guard Nolan Groves committed to Texas Tech on Saturday. The reigning Gatorade Player of the Year shared the news on social media while visiting Lubbock this weekend.

The Gophers appeared to have a shot at Groves after the 6-foot-5 shooting guard de-committed from Yale last week. Minnesota, Wisconsin and Texas Tech quickly offered scholarships to Groves, who led the state of Minnesota at 34.1 points per game during the 2024-25 high school season.

Texas Tech has now snagged a player away from the Gophers in consecutive years, with Elijah Hawkins transferring to the Red Raiders before last season. The point guard then helped Texas Tech reach the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament in March.
