More found on White:

 

White was a top 125 recruit in the 2024 class, and was named as the 2024 Ohio Mr. Basketball. He earned first-team all-state honors as a junior and senior as he led Ottawa-Glandorf to back-to-back state championship game appearances in 2022 and 2023.

White joins LeBron James as the only high school players in Ohio to start on a state final four team four consecutive seasons. He was also the first player in Ottawa-Glandorf history to score over 2,000 career points.

The Ohio kid dominated the competition as a high school senior en route to winning Mr. Basketball, as he averaged 25.1 points, 8.4 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.6 steals per games and was named the Division-III Northwest Ohio Player of the Year as a junior after averaging 20.1 points, 5.8 rebounds and 4.0 assists.

White played for Indiana Elite on the AAU circuit and helped the loaded team to a 39-3 record in his final season, averaging 14.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game.

I'm not as thrilled about this signing as some of you seem. He definitely looks like the favorite (as of now) to start at PF, but even if you multiply his numbers by 3 to adjust his numbers to numbers he would put up in ~26 mpg they seem underwhelming, particularly 3P% and rebound rate. 

 

I suppose the hope would be that he was a step too slow and an inch or two too short for the B1G and that water finds it level in the MAC.

It looks like he suffered a leg injury his freshman year early on and barely played. It required off-season surgery and he attempted to play last year but never found his groove.

Currie and Forsythe vibes.

Forsythe was a valuable rotation player.

Here's hoping the kid can stay healthy.  It's never good when your college highlights video is under 2 minutes.
