Nolen Anderson looked like a Big Ten-level talent while leading Wayzata to its third Class 4A state championship in five years at Williams Arena in March.

The crafty and highly-skilled 6-7 senior carried that momentum from the high school season into AAU to become one of the state’s breakout players of the summer.

After leading D1 Minnesota 17U to the Adidas 3SSB championship game Sunday in South Carolina, Anderson picked up an offer from the Gophers and new coach Niko Medved.

“I’m extremely excited about it,” Anderson said. “I think it would be a good fit for me. It’s a place I could see myself going.”

Anderson’s D-I offers entering the July recruiting period includes more than a half dozen at the mid-major level, including Drake, Illinois-Chicago, Montana, Northern Iowa, Ohio and Toledo. He was receiving interest from the Gophers and Iowa.
