Was the second member of Marquette's four player 2008-09 recruiting class to verbally commit on Ocotber 18, 2007. Originally signed with Texas A&M - where current Marquette assistant coach, Buzz Williams, was an assistant coach - but grades forced him to enroll at Massanutten. After being recruited by Coach Williams, the then-New Orleans head coach, he signed a letter-of-intent to play at UNO. When Coach Williams left for Marquette, Fulce was allowed to be released from his LOI by UNO and eventually enrolled at Tyler Junior College in Texas. He will have three years of eligibility at Marquette.

Selected Marquette. As a high school senior, he received his only offer from Texas A&M despite receiving interest from Colorado and SMU. As a fifth-year senior, he received offers from New Orleans and North Texas, while Illinois, Maryland, Providence, Texas A&M, and George Mason expressed interest in him.

Born August 14, 1987 in Dallas, Texas … son of Roxanne Newbill and Joseph Fulce Jr. … undecided on a major. Joseph's cousin is Jimmy King, 1991 Mr. Basketball in Texas at Plano East and a member of Michigan's Fab 5. Fulce wore the same #24 that King wore during his legendary high school career. “I was a first-grader and Jimmy would come over and play basketball at my house,” Fulce said. “Everyone knew who Jimmy King was. I sat on Juwan Howard's lap. Jimmy always said I was going to be something special.”
