EDINA, Minn.(AP) — The attorney for suspended Minnesota freshman
Royce White says he hopes to have the case resolved soon and
indicated he may seek a plea bargain.

White is charged with theft and fifth-degree assault after an
October incident at the Mall of America. He is also under
investigation following the alleged theft of a laptop computer
on campus.

White’s attorney, F. Clayton Tyler, said Tuesday that he is
planning to review security tapes from the mall parking lot
after which he “will be able to make some fruitful discussions,
hopefully, with the prosecutor.”

A Nov. 25 hearing has been scheduled in the mall case. Coach
Tubby Smith has made it clear that White won’t play until his
legal matters are resolved.

The 24th-ranked Gophers (2-0) host Utah Valley on Thursday.
