Minnesota Basketball: Gopher Basketball Gets Grad Transfer, Akeem Springs

Gopher basketball is filling the Kevin Dorsey scholarship with a grad transfer from Milwaukee. Following the firing of Panther's head coach Rod Jeter, Akeem Springs decided to leave for his final season. Springs will have one year to play in a Gopher uniform, this is a good thing.

#Gophers received a commitment from Milwaukee grad transfer Akeem Springs (@SpringsAkeem), per source. He's 6-4 wing eligible right away.

This is pretty important for the Gophers, I was very worried about depth at the guard positions with Dorsey's departure.
