White collected scores of offers, maybe too many
Andrew White (Richmond, Va./Miller School), the No. 76 overall player, is always careful to thank his teammates, coaches and family because he knows his recruitment has been a journey full of peaks and valleys. Now, White is on top of the mountain thanks to his hard work and extreme dedication to improving his game, which has landed him 27 offers (we can't even begin to name them all). Since the first session, he's talked to 30 different schools.
White's list is borderline unmanageable. His process is a little like collecting baseball cards where you see how many Ken Griffery rookie cards you can amass. However, how many do you really need? White is trying to work on that now.
"I don't even have a clue where I want to go," he said. "I've been having shorter conversations trying to figure this thing out."
In about a week, when the final school has offered, he'll settle in and take unofficial visits before Miller School begins its year. Louisville, West Virginia, Oklahoma State, Wake Forest, NC State, Virginia Tech and Georgia Tech may have him on campus this month. Richmond, Miami, Wake Forest, NC State, Oklahoma State, Virginia Tech, Tennessee, West Virginia, South Florida, Alabama and Georgia Tech hit him hard this summer. By the way, don't fault White (or me) if he left a school off; we're dealing with 27 situations here.
"It's a lot of options and a real hard process but it's a great problem to have," he said. "My criteria is everyone wants a good degree. I want to go to a school where I can develop most and at the same time can be winning. The players who come on the scene late and make a run in the tournament, those are the pros. I want to develop, win, get a degree and enjoy college life. Along the way people will keep track of my career and everything else will take care of itself if I do what I need to do."
