Garcia had 'major options' to play elsewhere this season.
The Gophers men’s basketball team lost some key contributors to the transfer portal this offseason, part of the new reality of college sports in the name, image and likeness era.
“ had some major options. I hope people understand that,” Johnson told reporters at a media availability Monday. “But he came back for all the right reasons, and then it’s our job to build a quality team around him and give him and ourselves the best opportunity to have success this year. But I like kinda the early stages of where we’re at.”
“You get things thrown at you all the time that are very tempting, but at the end of the day, you have to stay true to your roots,” Garcia said.
