After a great stretch to end the season last year, the Golden Gophers may be in a bit of trouble this upcoming season.

Losing First Team All-Big Ten selection Jordan Murphy was already a huge loss, but add on the recent news that wing Amir Coffey will keep his name in the NBA Draft, they will be hurting.

Isaiah Washington, who showed a lot of promise during his freshman season, saw his playing time dwindle late in his second year under Richard Pitino and announced his intention to transfer.

Dupree McBrayer and Gabe Kalscheur also depart Minnesota to graduation, making it 76.6 percent of their 2018 scoring, now not on the roster.

Daniel Oturu (10.8 PPG, 7.0 RPG) will step into next year as the go-to player for the Gophers and Drexel grad transfer Alihan Demir (14.8 PPG, 6.4 RPG) and four-star Isaiah Ihnen will help the front court depth.
