Vaihola averaged 5.0 points and 7.6 rebounds in five games before a knee injury ended his season, and Minnesota needs more size.
- On Friday, Minnesota center Robert Vaihola confirmed he will enter the transfer portal, ending uncertainty regarding his future with the Gophers program.
- Vaihola transferred to Minnesota from San Jose State last year but played only five games this season before a knee injury sidelined him; he will seek a medical redshirt to play a sixth season.
- The 6-foot-9 center previously played for Fresno State and San Jose State, starting 31 games during the 2024-25 season while averaging 7.5 points and 7.5 rebounds per game.
- Head Coach Niko Medved stated, "We need some size," as the Gophers have five available roster spots to fill following recent departures.
- With the transfer portal closing on April 21, Minnesota is adding freshman Chadrack Mpoyi, a 6-foot-10 big from California, to address frontcourt needs.
