Would love to get him. Graduate transfer who can play immediately.

He was Nebraska's leading returning scorer (16.6 ppg) and rebounder (5.9), and was honorable mention All Big 10. He's a 6'7" wing who declared for the NBA and pulled his name out on the last day.

Here's the catch: he played for Kansas for 2 years before transferring to Nebraska for a redshirt year. Can he return to the Big 12 and play? I assume so. He's been gone from KU for 2 years. One of the main reasons for his transfer is to play for a winning team. The NBA questioned why Nebraska didn't have a winning record if he was a NBA caliber player.

I would be surprised if OU took someone for the 2016-17 roster at this point, but who knows.

Iowa State might go after him.

 

[tmeyer3307]

If we did go after him that would hurt Odomes and Buford big time! He seems like a pretty dang good player though.

 

[Seymore Cox]

If Big12 schools are on him you have to go after him.

I'd love to see us add an experienced player to our large group of inexperienced ones. Sign him, I say.

Depends what Kruger thinks we have in our 3/4 guys this year. If he thinks we could use some help, sure, go after the kid. If not, I'm sure he'd rather play the young guys already on campus. Not sure White moves the needle much in terms of team expectations were he to join the current roster.

 

[campbest]

Go after him, but be wary.

 

[HandyMan]

What's the rule on this? Can you actively recruit a transferring player or just hope they contact you? I'm guessing 5th year graduate status has sometimes to do with possibly being able to actively recruit the player. No idea!

White Jr. raised questions about his son’s place in the Nebraska program, despite him starting all 34 games and taking more shots than any other Husker. The father also suggested that playing on a rebuilding program hurt his son’s pro prospects.

How good of an NBA prospect White is remains in question. An NBA source told The World-Herald only two of more than 20 pre-draft evaluations indicated White was draft-worthy — both citing the late second round.

During workouts with four teams, White’s offensive skills beyond his 3-point shooting were seen as needing work, especially creating off the dribble and working off of screens. Defensively, even more attention is necessary.

Nebraska supported White throughout the NBA workout process, even when he went until the final few hours before withdrawing his name. Yet upon returning to Lincoln, White never stated he would rejoin the team.

Yes, this is another case of a helicopter father swooping into his son’s business. But I’m not letting White III off the hook.

I don't want him. He wants assurances to be the marquee player on a winning team. I'm concerned about team chemistry with him.

One possible issue for White’s departure might involve the family’s perception of Nebraska’s prospects for success.

Something that lingered from White’s conversations with NBA people was a question about why his team didn’t have a better record if he was NBA caliber. Nebraska finished 16-18 overall last season and 11th in the 14-team Big Ten at 6-12.

“Andrew desperately wants to win,” his father said. “There’s a correlation between winning and getting to the next level.”

He also has a father who wants to run the show; an all too familiar theme lately. I've got a feeling that may be what campbest meant by "be wary."

I don't want him either.
