Minnesota signee Michael Hurt, a 6-foot-6 senior forward from Rochester (MN) John Marshall, was one of five finalists for Minnesota's Mr. Basketball Award, which was recently won by future teammate Hopkins forward Amir Coffey.
Hurt averaged 19.2 points, 9.2 rebounds, 8.0 assists, 1.9 steals and 2.6 blocked shots per game this season as the Rockets finished 24-5, losing to Lakeville North 60-58 in the Section 1AAAA championship game for the fourth straight year. He scored in double figures in all but two games, with a season-high 38 points versus Prior Lake.
Gopher Hole recently caught up with Hurt at the recent Minnesota Timberwolves-Golden State Warriors' game to learn more about his senior season and upcoming future with the Gophers.
