Royce White commits to the Gophers

Congrats to Royce White on his verbal commitment to Minnesota. While there were schools making a late run at him (UCLA for 1) with his big performance at the Kingwood tournament last weekend, Tubby gets it done by getting the top prospect in the 09 class. Rodney Williams Jr is the next target. Even if Tubby doesn't get Rodney, the recruiting class will still be largely viewed as a success. The general consensus was that the Gophers had to get at least one of those 2. With Trent Lockett and Mike Bruesewitz already off the table, it limited the options. Though Bruesewitz may be better in Wisconsin's system than the up-tempo style Tubby has played over the years.
