A return to Minnesota was always in the back of Cole Aldrich’s mind.
Not to visit. Aldrich already came back to Plymouth during each offseason, but to play for good.
“You never really know if it would happen, or when it would ever happen,” Aldrich said.
Well, it has indeed happened.
The Minnesota Timberwolves announced earlier this week that they had signed Aldrich to a deal. The center was born in Burnsville before he attended Bloomington Jefferson High School. During his senior season, he was named the state’s player of the year by both the Star Tribune and the Pioneer Press.
