Gopher Hoop's Suspended Players Expected to be Back Next Season

In an announcement that really shouldn't be a surprise, Kevin Dorsey, Dupree McBrayer and Nate Mason are all expected to be back next season following their season-ending suspension for a rogue tweet that involved a sexual video was posted.

Pitino first told CBSSports.com the news Tuesday morning. It was confirmed by the Gophers that the three players are coming back for the 2016-17 season. Mason, Dorsey and McBrayer were suspended for the last four games of the season after a sexually explicit video was posted on Dorsey's social media accounts Feb.
