One day after committing to the University of Minnesota, Illinois State transfer Reggie Lynch made it official, signing his national letter of intent to play for the Gophers and coach Richard Pitino.
"We are very excited about the addition of Reggie Lynch," Pitino said in a statement on Wednesday. "He was one of the best players on a very good team in a proven conference. We expect him to make an immediate impact. Most importantly, Reggie has grown up dreaming of being a Gopher. He will wear Maroon and Gold with pride."
Lynch, who earned All-Missouri Valley Conference second team, All-defensive team and All- MVC tournament team honors last year, will have to sit out the 2015-16 season per NCAA transfer rules. He'll then have two years of eligibility remaining at Minnesota.
The Gophers have two remaining scholarships for the 2015 class.
