Carr transferred to Minnesota after spending his freshman campaign with Pittsburgh in 2017-18. After sitting out due to NCAA rules in 2018-19, Carr played the last two seasons with the Gophers.

In 2020-21, Carr tallied 19.4 points, 4.9 assists and 4.0 rebounds in 29 games. He was named to the Associated Press All-Big Ten first team.

The news comes shortly after freshman Jamal Mashburn Jr., who averaged 8.2 points per game in 2020-21, announced he’s entering the transfer portal.

The Gophers continue to look for a head coach after Richard Pitino was relieved of his duties Monday. Pitino was hired as the new head coach at New Mexico.
