MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Minnesota has added San Antonio prep star Jordan Murphy to its 2015 recruiting class.

Golden Gophers coach Richard Pitino announced the addition Wednesday. Murphy is a 6-foot-7 forward and averaged 23.6 points and 10.5 rebounds for Brennan High School. He was named most valuable player in his district and is the sixth player to join the Gophers class.

Murphy originally committed to Virginia Commonwealth. But he reopened his recruitment after coach Shaka Smart left the school for Texas.

Indiana and Boston College were among the other schools Murphy was considering.

The Gophers have one spot left in their class.
