A day after announcing his intention to transfer, Drake big man Liam Robbins announced his commitment to Minnesota.

The 7-foot-0, 240-pound Robbins averaged 14.1 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 2.9 blocks per game during his sophomore season with the Bulldogs.

Robbins will now get to play for his uncle Ed Conroy, who is an assistant on Richard Pitino’s staff for the Golden Gophers. His cousin and Ed’s son Hunt Conroy is a walk-on guard for Minnesota.

The Davenport native plans to apply for a waiver to the NCAA to be eligible next season.
