Travis Busch was the 2005 Mr. Basketball of Minnesota, edging out Ray Brown. He attended Cal Poly San Luis Obispo this past season, but was injured and missed most of the season. He will try for a medical redshirt for last year, and transfer to University of Minnesota as a walk-on. After sitting out next year, he should have 3 more years of eligibility. He had a great high school career, and is known as a very good defensive player, which should make Coach Mo happy.
