Both Gach is an Austin native who, after attending prep school in Arizona, committed to play basketball for the Utah Utes. After a successful sophomore season, Gach decided to transfer and he chose Minnesota as his destination.
He, like Liam Robbins, had his transfer waiver approved, giving the Gophers another talented player at their disposal for the 2020-21 season.
Gach started 25 games last year for the Utes. He averaged 10.7 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game. Early in the 2019-20 season Gach recorded a triple-double. But the 6’6” forward is likely to replace Peyton Willis in the starting lineup.
