Minnesota basketball has added a commitment from 7-foot-1 5-star center Dennis Evans.

The Class of 2023 prospect is a fringe 4/5-star prospect and is ranked as the No. 27 player in the nation per 247Sports. He’s a consensus top 50 prospect and chose the Golden Gophers over TCU, UC Riverside and Texas, among others.

He announced his commitment to Minnesota Monday afternoon with the below video.

Head coach Ben Johnson is putting together a quietly strong 2023 class after the addition of the California native Evans. Minnesota received a commitment from 4-star shooting guard Cameron Christie in July.
