UTEP Basketball: 6'8, 2017 forward Taj Royster commits to UTEP

Just when you thought the class of 2017 was signed, sealed, and delivered, a late Prop 48 commit came in Thursday morning according to Verbal Commits.

Royster is a 6'8, 245 power forward from Houston, Texas, and attended the Kingwood Christian Life Center Academy.

MaxPreps shows Royster played 22 games last season averaging 12.8 points per game, and 4.3 rebounds last season. Royster's rebounding numbers maybe averaged incorrectly as some game totals are missing on his game logs.

There are five double-doubles listed from last season, including three games where Royster posted three games with 15 boards or more.
