Two years ago, Ahmad Gilbert and Kevin Dorsey got a glimpse into their future as University of Minnesota basketball teammates when they were on the same team at the Big Shots All-American Camp in Maryland.
They played well together and were among the camp's top players.
Gilbert and Dorsey weren't considering going to the same college at the time, but they're excited now about teaming up with the Gophers next season.
"I know him fairly well," Dorsey said of Gilbert. "That's my man. Been seeing him since about 15 and under AAU."
Several members of Gophers coach Richard Pitino's seven-member 2015 recruiting class are already familiar with one another.
