Josh Perkins commits to Gonzaga

Class of 2014 point guard Josh Perkins committed to Gonzaga on Saturday.

Perkins, who is No. 24 in the ESPN 100 and the No. 6 point guard in the nation, chose the Bulldogs over UCLA and Minnesota. He joins shooting guard Silas Melson (Portland, Ore./Jefferson) in Gonzaga's 2014 class.

Perkins announced his decision on Denver TV station News9.

"It's a great program, so hopefully I can come in and help them win a national championship," Perkins told News9.

Perkins averaged 25.2 points 6.5 assists per game last season at Denver's Regis Jesuit last season. He will play his senior season in Huntington Prep in West Virginia.
