sometimes guys have a hard time blending in with their teammates. Especially when some have been here for awhile. Not saying this would happen just discussing. 3 schools in 5 years is a red flag to me. I could be worried about nothing.

For 1 year, and considering we've been looking really hard all spring for a player exactly like him, I say it's worth the chance. But for all we know he may already have a school in mind. We can discuss it more if we show up on his initial list.

yea it maybe the cart before the horse.
 
Given the 1-year, instantly eligible status, along with the makeup of our roster, I can't imagine Coach Cronin doesn't at least reach out to him. But who knows.
 
Kind of reminds me of the Washington situation where we were familiar with him, had the need, and also played and beat his team the year before.
 
I'm betting on Maryland- he's from Virginia and has tried it twice pretty far from home. Its hard playing for Kansas - behind lottery picks Ben Mclemore and Andre Wiggins
 
Maryland is loaded at forward- A returning starter,4 star recruit and transfer L J Gill from Illinois and others.
 
That was my first guess. I honestly don't believe Cronin and Co. Will even reach out to him unfortunately. In 10 years, they just don't show genuine interest in grad transfers.
i think they would love to have one this year for depth but it has to be the right fit. Most guys worth taking all want major roles. With our starting 5 that will be tough to promise.

White would start over Kevin Johnson or Cumberland. It's not even close. Evans could play the 2. And if it came down to it, White would start over Evans as well. He seriously would very well be the most talented player on the team. If our staff didn't even bother reaching out, they should all be fired immediately. I'm sure they already have though. I think you're either overrating our starting 5, or underrating how good this guy is. But he'd start and possibly lead the team in scoring.

Said a couple days ago on here he would definitely start at the three and Evans would move to the two no doubt about it
Would be such a sick line up....

Evans is better and Cumberland will be. If White was as good as you think, he wouldn't be in this situation because he would have had his name called last week...

No I think he is a very good player but I don't think he has any interest in coming here. I also don't think he would be the best player on our team. Jake this will be his 3rd school in 5 years does that mean anything to you?

Cumberland will be better THIS year? If so, sounds like a one and done. And I love Evans, but he wouldn't have had his name called last week either. Not sure why that's such a big knock on White when compared to our players. But if you say Evans is better, then I guess we should be expecting gigantically huge things. Bc White is older, went through the draft process, and shot like 42% from 3. Evans didn't make the AAC Freshman team. So hopefully he made up a ton of ground these last few months.

Has the staff reached out to him? Or are we wasting our time even discussing it?

It means he was an unknown leaving KU bc he was behind lottery picks, and he showed he's clearly too good to play at Nebraska.

Evans is better right now. Much more complete wing. Cumberland will be better in time. You willing to slow his development and potentially piss him off by seriously cutting his minutes for one year of Andrew White? No thanks.

White doesn't have a release yet. Reaching out to him at this point is a violation. Will they? Maybe. Will they promise the 30 plus minutes and everything else that will be demanded of his new destination? You know that answer...

to good to play at Nebraska??? Lol! He was playing almost 35 minutes a game. For a 16-18 team and he decides he's to good to play for them. Yea I want to recruit this kid over the top of my guys. Jake will have to agree to disagree on this one.

If White makes us a seriously legitimate threat to win the league this year and make some real noise in March, I don't know how you'd say no thanks. You'd have to tell Kevin Johnson that his minutes are gone, and Cumberland would still have plenty of chance to play in the regular rotation.

I'm glad you're high on Cumberland though. Hopefully that helps answer the question about that position battle.

Not his fault they had about 3 players worth anything this year.
