Four-star forward Isaiah Ihnen verbally committed to Minnesota on Tuesday, he tells 247Sports.

"I just feel like with the coaching staff I'll be in a great situation," Ihnen said. "I think I'll have a big opportunity to play right away and even start. They will just let me play my game."

"The good thing is they have Amir Coffey and he's 6-7 and played point guard a lot during the season," he said. "That just shows me that they aren't afraid to let players play their game."

Ihnen, a 6-foot-9, 190-pound prospect out of Germany, spent the past two days on Minnesota's campus for his official visit. He also took an official visit to TCU, and Tennessee was previously involved in his recruitment.

"I actually wanted to commit to TCU on my visit because I was comfortable," Ihnen explained. "But I wanted to give Minnesota a chance and then the head coach just blew me away and gave me a whole different perspective. Just his openness and not being afraid to let his players play different positions."

A long, lean athlete, Ihnen is currently ranked as the No. 89 overall prospect in the 247Sports Top247.

"I think I will help them for sure with my shooting because they weren't a good shooting team last season and just my versatility," Ihnen said.

Ihnen is Minnesota's third pledge of the 2019 recruiting class. He joins Tre Williams and Sam Freeman to make up their current class.
