Caught up with East Ridge (Minn.) 2026 guard Cedric Tomes to discuss his Minnesota offer. Here is what he had to say....
- On his interest in Minnesota:
"I love Minnesota and their program and I feel that I connect great with the coaches and the program as a whole."
- On head coach Ben Johnson and his personality:
"He’s a great basketball coach whose style of play really matches mine. He’s also a coach who at the end of the day just wants to win which is the same thing I want. From what I heard, I play pretty similarly to what he played like back when he played."
- On what Coach Johnson likes about his overall game:
"We talked a lot on that and he really emphasizes how much he loves perimeter shooting. He also likes guys who love to win and can take care of the ball and do the little things."
OTHER NOTES: Tomes said he was suppose to visit Minnesota this week, but had some travel issues pop up. So, he's planning to visit sometime soon. Told me he's also hearing from St. Thomas, Xavier, and Northern Iowa as well.
