The 6-4, 335-pound Calhoun is a sophomore at Southwest Mississippi Community College. He plans to enroll at Minnesota in January and will be a candidate to start at guard next season, when the Gophers will need to replace seniors Jon Christenson and Joe Bjorklund.
Calhoun, a consensus three-star recruit, also had reported offers from Colorado State, East Carolina and Southern Miss, among others.
A 16-0 run and Annika Stewart’s three-pointer cut the lead to three with 20 seconds remaining, but the No. 8 Terrapins held off the No. 24 Gophers at the free-throw line from there for a 99-92 victory.
