Minnesota head men's basketball coach Richard Pitino announced Friday that rising senior Darin Haugh has been awarded a full scholarship for the 2016-17 academic year.
"We are extremely excited that Darin Haugh will receive a scholarship for the upcoming season," Pitino said. "He has been the epitome of an outstanding student-athlete on and off the court the two years he has been here. He is hard-working, loyal and a great teammate."
Haugh joined the Gophers prior to the 2014-15 season as a walk-on, following two seasons at Wisconsin-Platteville and Bethany Lutheran in his freshman and sophomore years, respectively. The Prior Lake, Minn., native sat out his junior year due to NCAA transfer rules and saw action in six games as a reserve this past season.
With the announcement, the Gophers will have the full complement of 13 scholarship players this season, along with sophomore walk-on Stephon Sharp and freshman walk-on Brady Rudrud in uniform for the Maroon and Gold.
