Update: Ish-El-Amin committed to Rhode Island Thursday morning. The Gophers did not make him an offer.
Former Hopkins high school guard Ish El-Amin has entered the transfer portal after a solid four year run at Ball State. He was a 1,000 point scorer and a team leader.
We caught up with El-Amin, who has heard from the Gophers, and is very interested in wearing the Maroon and Gold for new coach Ben Johnson.
