Colorado State star is entering the transfer portal, as reported by Sam Kayser of League Ready on Saturday.
Evans spent the past two seasons with the Rams, making a significant impact during his sophomore year. He started all 36 games for CSU, averaging 10.6 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game. His most impressive stat was his 44.6 percent shooting from beyond the arc on 4.4 attempts per game, ranking 25th in the nation among qualified players.
In Mountain West Conference play, Evans excelled, shooting 45.2 percent from three-point range (second-best), 63.5 percent from two-point range (fifth), and 88.9 percent from the free-throw line (first). He also led the conference in true shooting percentage.
Evans had his standout performance in the NCAA Tournament, scoring a career-high 23 points in Colorado State’s first-round win over Memphis, where he hit six of his nine three-point attempts.
If Evans decides to follow Medved to Minneapolis, it would be a huge addition for the Gophers. With two years of eligibility remaining and an impressive season behind him, his future looks promising.
Some Gophers insiders think it’s possible. Andy Greder of the St. Paul Pioneer Press and our own Tony Liebert of Gophers On SI both expect Minnesota to be in on Evans, with Greder saying the Gophers “might have a roster spot earmarked for the rising junior.”
Medved and his staff have 12 open scholarships for the 2025-26 season, following the release of incoming signees Parker Jefferson and Jacob Ross, who both chose to reopen their recruitments. If 2025 recruit Kai Shinholster also decides to leave, that would create another available spot.
The most notable development for Medved so far is that standout freshman Isaac Asuma will be returning for his sophomore season. If Evans joins Asuma in the Gophers’ backcourt, it could form a strong foundation for next year’s team, provided they can secure his commitment.
Other potential Colorado State players who may follow Medved include Jaylen Crocker-Johnson, Rashaan Mbemba, Nikola Djapa, and Kyle Jorgensen, a Minneapolis native.
