Portal thoughts: Is UNC transfer Cade Tyson the final piece to the Gophers’ puzzle?
North Carolina transfer forward Cade Tyson visited Minnesota in early April, but he still hasn’t committed to a new school.
There’s no deadline for players in the transfer portal to sign with a program. Is Tyson hiding in plain sight as the final piece to the Gophers’ 2025-26 roster puzzle?
At this point in the process, many of the final roster moves consist of players who have made NBA draft decisions to come back to school, international recruits who have finished up their seasons, or players in the transfer portal who are waiting for the dust to settle. Tyson fits into the last category.
Back on April 14, it was reported that Tyson had received interest from a long list of programs, which included Kentucky, Purdue, Iowa, Ohio State, BYU and others.
Many of those programs have essentially filled out their rosters, but the Gophers still have three spots available on their 2025-26 team.
