Amir Coffey, a senior wing from Hopkins who is considered the state's top prospect in the Class of 2016, committed to Minnesota Monday afternoon at a press conference held at the school.
Coffey helped lead the Royals to 30-2 record as a sophomore as they finished runner-up in the Class AAAA Tournament, losing to Lakeville North in the title game.
Unfortunately, he suffered a season-ending knee injury against Burnsville earlier in the season as a junior. Coffey played in only three games and averaged 23.7 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game. He shot 54.1% from the field, 35.
