Saw him play a couple months ago. His team is loaded, so he wasn’t the focal point on offense but the kid is a jumping jack with very high athleticism and shot blocking ability. His offense needs to mature from what I could see in 1 game, but excited to hear Cuse is on him.

Videos are in reverse order from this last EYBL session in ATL to the beginning of his HS season. You can see improvements in his game over the last 5 months. Athleticism and motor are off the charts.. this is the type of Cuse player we want running the floor and getting out on breaks, catching oops, etc. "AJ" is a really good defender and rebounder too. I like this offer. With the new style we expect to get from Red.. he would be a great fit with the type of guards we have now and are recruiting. Fun times ahead...

It's not everyday we offer a kid from North Carolina, but at least we can offer him a few games in his home state.

Interesting to see this be one of the first newer names after Mikey that pops up. Really like his game though.. lots to work with here. Also see he is #20 in the 247 (not composite) 2025 rankings.
Yup, crazy athletic, shotblocker and rebounder. Attacks the rim to dunk at every chance. If he develops a perimeter game will be a top 10 recruit.

56 points scored on only 48 shots is extremely efficient scoring.
The best teams have five guys who can score efficiently, and they don't have to resort to a single player taking all their shots, scoring at a low rate as a result.
Having a guy who plays great defense, dunks and shoots open threes efficiently sounds great.
Our lineup in the fall is going to be very focused on penetration and kick out passes.
White could be a player who helps us keep that going.

That’s elite athleticism. Will be interesting to see if we can stay involved.

"Sadiq White backs his Top-20 status
Sadiq White emerged last summer in front of 247Sports due to his size, length, athleticism and his elite defensive abilities.
He did all of the small things like defend, rebound, run the floor, set screens and make hustle plays that contribute to winning but his offense had a ways to go.
However, that's now changing.
On Saturday night, White had his biggest matchup of the season against elite 2025 player Cooper Flagg and Maine United.
While bringing it on defense, like he always does, he also got to show a much improved offensive skillset. He is much more comfortable and fluid slashing, finishing at the rim and also showed the ability to create and make shots from range.
White finished with 12 points, six rebounds and one block in a two-point win."

"Sadiq White is a long and athletic hybrid forward who makes his best impact when he’s playing with a high motor. Another bouncy athlete, he’s a lob threat and emphatic finisher. The southpaw can slash some and possesses all the requisites to be a disruptive defender. In short, he didn’t always put-up big scoring totals, but he made his presence felt every time he was on the court."
