Our preseason coverage of the Minnesota Golden Gopher men’s basketball team continues by examining a player on the roster who might best be considered mercurial based on his player during his freshman year: sophomore forward Michael Hurt.
MEASURABLES
The baby-faced Hurt comes into his second season on campus measuring 6’ 7” and 200 pounds according to Gopher Sports. Primarily considered a wing player who can knock down the three-ball, Hurt’s spindly frame didn’t reveal much athleticism during his first go around on the Barn floor. However, there is still hope that the long-range shot that made the Minnesota native an attractive recruit could still contribute on the offensive end of the floor for the Gophers this season.
