Randle ultimately chose to play college basketball with Stanford over Illinois and Purdue due to head coach Johnny Dawkins' personal attention during the recruiting process. In his freshman season, Randle averaged 13.8 points per game, was named to the Pac-12 All-Freshman team, and helped lead Stanford to the 2012 National Invitation Tournament title.
