Winters Grady, a 6-foot-6 wing who played for the University of Michigan, has announced his transfer to the University of Minnesota, joining the Golden Gophers in the Big Ten Conference. Grady had a challenging freshman season, averaging 2.9 points and 1.1 rebounds in just nine games due to a persistent foot injury. He decided to sit out the remainder of the season after his last appearance on January 2 against USC. Grady, a former top-100 prospect from California's Prolific Prep, is expected to apply for a medical redshirt, which would grant him four seasons of eligibility. He is the first of two Wolverines to enter the transfer portal, with fellow player Malick Kordel yet to announce his next move. Minnesota's basketball team, which faced significant injuries last season, finished with a record of 15-18, placing 11th in the Big Ten with an 8-12 conference record.
