Malick Kordel, a 7-foot-2 center from Germany, has announced his transfer to the University of Minnesota, joining former Michigan teammate Winters Grady. Kordel made the decision shortly after Grady declared his transfer destination. The young player, who began playing basketball competitively in 2021, had limited opportunities at Michigan, averaging 1.2 points and 1.5 rebounds in just 14 games. With three years of eligibility remaining, Kordel hopes to secure a more significant role under coach Niko Medved, who led the Golden Gophers to a 15-18 record last season, finishing 11th in the Big Ten.
