Marcus Fuller's potential team of Minnesota natives who left the state to star elsewhere
STARTING FIVE
Brad Davison, G, Wisconsin (Maple Grove)
The 22-year-old returns for his fifth year of college basketball after the NCAA allowed an extra year. Davison is being called "Grandpa" by his teammates. He ranks fourth on the school's all-time starts list with 124. Could be one of four Badgers starters from Minnesota, including Tyler Wahl (Lakeville North), Ben Carlson (East Ridge) and Steven Crowl (Eastview).
Kerwin Walton, G, North Carolina (Hopkins)
Not only did Walton lead North Carolina in three-pointers (58) and three-point shooting (42%) last season, Walton also set the program freshman record for three-point percentage. He should be one of the key returning players for the Tar Heels after starting 20 games in 2020-21.
David Roddy, F, Colorado State (Breck)
Some Gophers fans assumed Roddy would come back to Minnesota with former Colorado State assistant Dave Thorson, who joined new U coach Ben Johnson's staff. But the former Breck star stayed put to become a favorite to win Mountain West Player of the Year after averaging 16 points and nine rebounds as a sophomore last season.
Dawson Garcia, F, North Carolina (Prior Lake)
