MINNEAPOLIS -- One of Minnesota's top incoming freshmen has been denied medical clearance to play for the team.

The university announced Monday that point guard Jarvis Johnson, who has a heart condition, will remain on scholarship and with the program. But the Minneapolis native won't be able to take the court with the rest of the Gophers this season.
