Royce White needed a second chance and Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg needed talent.
If White can avoid the trouble that plagued him during a short stint at Minnesota, he and the Cyclones could get what they've been looking for. The skilled power forward who left Minnesota under a cloud agreed Monday to play basketball at Iowa State.
"He's a very engaging kid, a very smart kid, and he fully admits to making a mistake," Hoiberg said. "Everybody involved with it, they all thought that he was genuine about it and that he deserved another chance. We're excited to have him on board."
White, a 6-foot-8, 250-pound native of Minneapolis, was Minnesota's Mr. Basketball in 2009. He signed with Minnesota but never played a game for the hometown Golden Gophers.
White was suspended last fall after an incident at the Mall of America and later pleaded guilty to theft and disorderly conduct. White left Minnesota in February after being charged with trespassing in connection to an alleged theft of a laptop computer from a university dorm.
Hoiberg said he talked to numerous people close to White and believes he's committed to meeting the expectations the Cyclones have for their players.
White has four years of eligibility left and is in the process of applying for a waiver from the NCAA to become eligible next season. Iowa State said it expects to learn the results of that waiver request later this summer.
The Cyclones could use a player with White's skill immediately.
Star forward Craig Brackins left for the NBA and was taken in the first round of the draft. Marquis Gilstrap left the program after his request for an extra year of eligibility was denied by the NCAA, promising center Justin Hamilton transferred to LSU and forward LaRon Dendy transferred after Hoiberg was hired.
Whenever White begins his career with the Cyclones, he'll have to keep his nose clean. He insisted Monday that he's focused on making smarter decisions.

Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl has added another forward to his squad, senior John Fields from UNC-Wilmington.
Fields has one year of eligibility remaining after playing three years at the Division I level, one at UNC-Wilmington and two at East Carolina. He sat out a year after transferring from ECU to the Seahawks.
Fields received his undergraduate degree from UNC-Wilmington. Tennessee expects the 6-foot-9, 230-pound forward from Fayetteville, N.C., to be able to play immediately, pending an NCAA waiver.
Seton Hall signed Aaron Geramipoor, a frontcourt player originally from Manchester, England.
The 6-foot-11, 225-pound Geramipoor was a teammate of Patrik Auda at the Canarias Basketball Academy in the Canary Islands, Spain. Auda signed to play basketball at Seton Hall in May.

A lo mejor la cosa se arregló con el paso de los minutos, pero vaya tela.
