Minnesota freshman forward Royce White announced via YouTube that he will quit Minnesota, according to an Associated Press report.
White has been suspended all season while police investigate whether he was involved in the theft of a laptop from a dorm room. White said the investigation has been stressful to him and his family, and the legal troubles are the catalyst for his decision to leave the team.
White is Minnesota’s top recruit entering this season, but he has not played a minute for the Golden Gophers. Minnesota officials said White has not told anyone who works in the athletic department about his decision to leave the team.
