I think its sad, because I think staying on as a Gopher is his best shot at future success. The other roads he may take will be much, much harder for him.
I can't see White, at this time, being much more than a late second round pick in next year's draft as a best case. But a 20-30 rated high school senior with behavior problems would most likely not even get a nibble from the NBA.
Royce, your best bet to get to the NBA is to clean up your act while staying a Gopher.
(The previous message assumes that Mr White has not burned all his bridges with the coaching staff and his would be teammates)
