Gophers recruit Michael Hurt enjoying one last season with his brother

Michael Hurt was with his future University of Minnesota teammates at Williams Arena on his official visit in the fall when he beat everyone on the team in a shooting contest.

Whenever the Gophers have struggled making shots this season -- and that has been often -- the 6-foot-6 Rochester John Marshall senior imagines himself out on the court giving them a lift.

"I wish I could come out there right now and help them out," Hurt said. "It's kind of tough."

Hurt, who joins Hopkins' Amir Coffey and Eric Curry in Minnesota's 2016 recruiting class, hears a lot from friends and fans about the Gophers' struggles this season.
