Yesterday Minnesota was linked to a potential transfer named Akeem Springs who will be a grad transfer and has already told the school he will and the process has begun. The Gophers are one of many who called on him with interest.
The reason he is leaving Wisconsin-Milwaukee is that Coach Jeter was fired after all of these years.
So what's next?
1) Springs really likes his school so he is willing to see who they bring in.
2) He also wants to see where Jeter goes because wherever he lands Springs will strongly consider going there are a grad transfer in the same way that Malik Smith went with Pitino that first year.
3) If he doesn't like those options he will lean towards the high major teams wanting him.
Is he worth it?
Springs is a 6-foot-4 210 pound shooting guard that originally was Northern Illinois as a freshman so he's been in school four years and is graduating.
Played 32 minutes a game this year averaging 13.2 points, 5.3 rebounds. Shot 35 percent from the arc on 111 attempts (about 3.5 trey attempts a game) but was in the mid-20s as a frosh and sophomore.
On a side note, the Panthers won 20 games this year. Jeter has been considered for jobs in the past but never left. I'm kind of surprised that he was let go.
