The Gophers men’s basketball program picked up an in-state commitment as its first pledge in the 2026 class on Saturday.
Cedric Tomes, a 6-foot guard from East Ridge High School, chose to stay home at the U over offers from Iowa State, Oklahoma, Drake, Northern Iowa and Bryant. A three-star recruit, Tomes averaged 27.3 points and made more than 40 percent of his 3-point attempts last season.
Tomes was offered a scholarship under former coach Ben Johnson and that offer remained under new coach Niko Medved. Assistant coach Dave Thorson was recruiting Tomes under both head coaches.
