Comment: Lewis (6-7, 330), Carroll (6-6, 310) and Guedet (6-7, 310) are battling for the starting job, and Fleck said the Gophers could use a rotation when the season begins.
Cedric Tomes, who averaged 27.3 points a game last season, is the first high school player to say he’ll play for new Gophers coach Niko Medved.
