White has no offers yet but has visited a number of campuses including Eastern Illinois, IPFW, Maryville (MO.), and Western Illinois and will take a visit to Belmont in the upcoming months. Playing alongside high major recruit Eric Hunter certainly helps his recruiting and with a solid finish to this year and a strong summer White will have the offers coming in soon.
“They like my size and the way I can control the game. I am a 6’3 point guard so they like that. They like my passing and how I rebound really well for a guard. I can get to the basket and score and they really like that.”
This year Tindley will challenge for a 1A state championship and White will be a big part of that success. Already having grown four inches since the time he came into high school, teams have a hard time defending the 6’3 junior.
“I think it’s going good. I came out to a slow start but now I am doing a lot better. I have had three double doubles this year and just had a game of 24 points, 11 rebounds, and five assists. I am trying to get my stats up to those numbers.”
Running this past summer with G3 Rising Stars, White felt like his summer went really well. He played on a very solid team and played in front of a lot of coaches.
“I thought it went really well. I played in front of a lot of coaches and I didn’t have any looks before that so this summer really helped me out. I worked on my jumpshot because I feel that will take me to the next level.”
White’s recruiting will pick up this summer as a guard who can score as well as facilitate the ball at a high level. One more summer on the AAU circuit will bring the attention to White, as it should be.
“I want a school where I can make an impact immediately. I want to play the point guard role so I can control the game.”
