Rosco Allen has committed to Stanford over offers from UNLV and North Carolina.

Allen is a 6-foot-9 forward from Bishop Gorman.

"Their academics are incomparable," Allen said. "And it's a Pac-12 team. It just felt like a great fit on and off the court."

Allen is rated 55th by ESPN for the class of 2012.

"This year, people are going to see that he's a lot more aggressive," said Gaels coach Grant Rice, brother of UNLV coach Dave Rice. "Rosco is just so versatile at his height.

"I'm happy for him and his family. Stanford's been recruiting him for three years now, and he'll definitely be successful there."
