Minnesota head basketball coach Niko Medved and his staff are actively working to build the Golden Gophers' 2025-26 roster.

As of Wednesday, April 2, four players are set to be on Minnesota's roster for the upcoming season. With scholarship limits increasing from 13 to 15 starting in 2025-26, the Gophers still have 11 scholarships available to work with.

Below, you can take a look at each expected member of the Gophers' 2025-26 roster.

Willirs Jr. comes to Minnesota after spending one season at Western Michigan, where he averaged 16.8 points and 5.8 assists per game for the Broncos. Willis also shot 42.4% from the floor this season, including 28.4% from three-point range, making just 33-of-116 attempts, while making 72.4% of his free throws, hitting 84-of-116.

Willis Jr. will have one year of eligibility remaining to play with the Gophers.

In 92 career games with the program, Reynolds averaged 8.6 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 2.0 assists. This past season was his best with the program, averaging 16.0 points, 5.6 rebounds and 3.4 assists.

An efficient shooter, Reynolds this past season shot 59.3% from the field, including 40.9% from three-point range. While his career shooting percentage shows that his 2024-25 percentage of 59.3% was no fluke. Shooting 57.1% for his career, his three-point shooting dramatically improved this past season.

Reynolds has one year of eligibility remaining.

Omot came to Minnesota after one season with California, where he averaged 10.8 points and 3.0 rebounds in four games played before injuries derailed his season. Before his time with the Golden Bears, Omot played in 65 games, starting all 65 for North Dakota, averaging 14.3 points and 4.0 rebounds per contest.

Omot has told Darren Woflson of Channel 5 ABC that he plans on using two years of eligibility with the Gophers, which would suggest Omot and the Gophers applying for a medical redshirt waiver for his 2024 season.

Vaihola comes to Minneapolis after three years at San Jose State, where he played during the 2022-23 and 2024-25 seasons. He appeared in 66 games, including 31 starts, while averaging 7.6 points and 7.0 rebounds per contest.

The 6-foot-8 forward also spent one year at Fresno State as a freshman, playing in 22 games and averaging 1.5 points per game. He did, however, shoot an impressive 76.5% from the floor in his limited sample size. For his career, Vaihola has been a consistent shooter, boasting a career shooting percentage of 62.9%.

The 6-foot-7 forward comes to Minneapolis after two seasons with Davidson in which he played in 65 games, averaging 11.0 points and 5.2 rebounds per game.This past season, Durkin played in 33 games, starting 32 while averaging over 30 minutes per contest. The Darien, Illinois native averaged 13.5 points and 5.9 rebounds per game in the process. The rising junior shot 40.6% from the field throughout the season including 35.5% from three-point range. A strong free-throw shooter, Durkin has posted a career free throw percentage of 85.3%.

Jaylen Crocker-Johnson committed to Minnesota on Tuesday, April 1, after entering the transfer portal with a no-contact tag.

In his lone season with the Rams, he averaged 9.0 points and 4.4 rebounds per game. He shot 49.1% from the field, including a quality 35.4% from three-point range, while also shooting 75.9% at the free-throw line.

Before his time at Colorado State, Crocker-Johnson spent a year at Little Rock, averaging 9.1 points and 5.3 rebounds per game in 34 games played and 33 starts. He also averaged 23.3 minutes per game.

Crocker-Johnson has two years of eligibility remaining.

In his true freshman season with the Gophers, Asuma played in all 32 games, averaging 24.7 minutes per contest. He averaged 5.6 points and 2.9 rebounds per game in those 32 contests while shooting 43.7% from the field and 35.7% from three-point range. Asuma has three years of eligibility remaining.

The Florida native comes to the Gophers after one season with Central Arkansas, where he averaged 8.5 points and 4.2 rebounds per game. Turner will bring tremendous size to the Gophers' lineup, standing tall at 6-foot-10 and 265 pounds.

The best game of Turner's freshman season was a 37-point, 11-rebound performance against Stetson in the Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament in March. He had two additional 20+ point performances this past season. Against major conference opponents this season, he did have some struggles, his highest scoring output being a six-point game against Utah in December. Turner will have three years of eligibility remaining.

Grove did not appear in any games as a true freshman in the 2024-25 season. He was a three-star prospect in the 2024 recruiting cycle and chose Minnesota over offers from Central Arkansas, Colorado State, Illinois State, Indiana State, North Dakota State, and St. Thomas. Grove has four years of eligibility remaining.

Shinholster has recently announced that he will be sticking with the Golden Gophers after the coaching change. The Williams Penn Charter School standout committed to the Gophers last September over offers from Drexel, Mississippi State, Pennsylvania, Radford, St. Louis, St. Joseph's, and Temple.

Shinholster is the lone 2025 signee to stay committed to the Golden Gophers after forwards Jacob Ross and center Parker Jefferson both requested releases from their letters of intent.
