Gophers Say Cade Tyson Has Rejoined Men’s Basketball Team

Tyson has enrolled in classes and will practice with Minnesota while a court ruling keeps his status unresolved for the 2026-27 season.

  • On Tuesday, the University of Minnesota announced that Cade Tyson has rejoined the Gophers program, with head coach Niko Medved stating, "We're excited to have Cade rejoin our program," while awaiting official eligibility clearance.
  • Seeking a fifth year of eligibility, Tyson joined a federal class action lawsuit in Colorado alleging the NCAA excluded the high school graduating class of 2022 from its new eligibility model.
  • Over four collegiate seasons split between Belmont, North Carolina, and Minnesota, the veteran has totaled 1,621 points and 213 three-pointers, averaging 19.6 points per game last season.
  • The House vs. NCAA settlement allows for Designated Student-Athletes who do not count against the roster cap, enabling Tyson's return despite the Gophers currently having 15 players.
  • Tyson is currently ineligible per court rulings, as legal status remains fluid after the Tenth Circuit granted an NCAA stay on August 21, restoring eligibility rules pending appeal.
