Gophers freshman guardJaden Henleyannounced Monday that he entered the transfer portal following the season-ending loss in the Big Ten tournament last week.
The 6-7 Ontario, Calif., averaged 5.3 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.3 assists and shot 37.8% from three-point range in 20.8 minutes for second-year coachBen Johnsonthis season.
I would like to thank the [University of Minnesota],Ben Johnson, [assistant]Marcus Jenkinsand the entire coaching staff for welcoming me with open arms, Henley tweeted Monday. After talking with my family, I have decided to enter my name in the transfer portal and find a new home to continue my academic and athletic career. I look forward to the next step in my journey.
Henley started the first nine games of the season before his role changed to coming off the bench in Big Ten play. Injuries eventually increased his opportunities, though, when he started the last nine games.
In a Big Ten tournament opening win over Nebraska in Chicago, Henley had 14 points and two assists in 33 minutes. Four of his five double-figure scoring performances came in the past nine games.
Henleys departure wasnt a big surprise considering he was an AAU teammate and close friend with formerGophers five-star center recruitDennis Evans, who was granted a release from his letter of intent.
The Gophers are also not expecting starting junior point guardTaLon Cooperto return next season. Cooper, who started all 31 games, finished second in the Big Ten with 6.3 assists per game.
The only scholarship guard likely back is freshmanBraeden Carrington. But Johnson also signed four-star senior guardCameron Christie, who earned first team all-state honors in Illinois.
Treyton Thompsonalso announced Monday he entered the transfer portal after spending two years with the program.
The 7-footer from Glenwood, Minn., averaged 2.1 points and 2.4 rebounds in 20 games this season, including eight starts. But Thompson didnt play in the last five games.
Thompson, who transferred from Alexandria (Minn.) to La Lumiere Academy in Indiana in high school, initially signed to play for former Gophers coachRichard Pitinoin the 2021 recruiting class.
As a freshman in 2021-22, Thompson played sparingly, but he had a career-high 10 points and six rebounds in a win against Rutgers at home.
