Royce White is a Gopher. Royce White is a Gopher…that feels nice, I had to write it twice. White committed to Tubby Smith and his staff this morning, giving the Gophers a huge recruiting win. The 6’7, 228 pound shooting forward is ranked as one of the top 40 players in the nation by Rivals for the class of 2009, and has over 20 scholarship offers from schools like: Arizona, Arkansas, Illinois, Iowa, Iowa State, Miami (FL) , Michigan State, Minnesota, Purdue, Seton Hall, Texas, USC, Wisconsin, Virginia, Nebraska, Texas A & M, Cincinnati, Texas A&M and Notre Dame. But now that list has been narrowed down to just one, Minnesota.

When I say Devoe Joseph LOVES basketball, I mean it. Joseph, breaths, sleeps and absolutely loves everything about the sport. Even after a 66 game season, he is hungry for more. Not only is Joseph a 4-star recruit and one of the best players in Canada, but he’s been invited to try out for the Canadian Olympic team. If you were lucky enough to see Joseph in last weekend’s Nike Hoop Summit game, you’ll see that he is smart, fast, determined, and a winner. When speaking to Joseph, you cannot help but get excited. His positive attitude, passion for hoops and the Gophers, is absolutely contagious. He is exactly the kind of kid you dream of landing at your school. He is a player that had his pick of just about every school from Vanderbilt to Texas, Virginia Tech, and National Champs - Kansas; he picked Minnesota without any doubts. Last year's freshman Al Nolen and Blake Hoffarber exceeded Gopher fan's expectations, I'd bet that Jospeh will follow that trend as well.
