Milwaukee transfer Akeem Springs heading to Minnesota

Milwaukee graduate transfer Akeem Springs will be joining Minnesota, the guard told Jeff Goodman of ESPN.

Springs opted to leave the Panthers after Rob Jeter was relieved of his duties as head coach.

As a graduate transfer, Springs will be immediately eligible and will bring a lot to the Gophers next year. He averaged double figures over the past two seasons and shot 49 percent from the field in 2015-16.

Minnesota could certainly use his services. The Gophers are coming off a disappointing campaign, winning just eight games.
