Because if he goes and plays in China or wherever, he won't get the publicity and be on the minds of NBA executives. If he wants to work on his ball handling at the 2, he can do that here. We have 3 point guards and no true shooting guards. Do the math. Despite what RF and others may think, the reason he is considering us is because we have some minutes at the 2. If Battle is running the point, I don't see Gillon or Frankie Howard as the 2 guard along side him. And Battle will play some time as the PG. That's why he came here instead of Duke. So who plays the 2 when Battle is at the point - Lydon?
Same thing this time around with Michigan State - they wanted White to play forward, no time at guard. And in fact, they tried to pitch him on a Draymond Green undersized-4 role. He was not interested. He sees his opportunity in the NBA as a 2 guard, and not as a SF. I had a couple different people (including O13, I believe) confirm what I thought from reading between the lines. You may not think he has the skills to play the 2, but he wants that opportunity.
You should try to find his dad's twitter.
i'm saying he will be in the melo center Friday.So, you're saying if he's not here by Sunday night, AW is not coming?

and you can bet the coaches know he is coming.It would really be interesting if White just shows up at the Melo Center without any announcement, without any fanfare. That would truly be a first. Anything is possible in this bizarre offseason.

yes, the writing on the wall is starting to become very clearI know technically he has until the end of the drop/add period to enroll somewhere but I just REALLY doubt he would do that. It would be stupid to put yourself in a hole with classes and be trying to play catchup while the season is beginning. Wherever he goes, he'll be there the first day of class.
To answer your question, Waters was the the first to get TT's. I know because TT called Waters first. That would mean that Waters got our last commit first.
Denials that he he's not going overseas or denied an answer to the question ?Vince B.@IommiCuseFan 10m10 minutes ago

I've inquired. Gotten denials.
i'm "retiring" after this one though lolI, for one, believe you. You've been forthright about your sources, which are ultra-close to the team. Nobody should be beating you up about timing, given how bizarre this recruitment has gone down, or shoot the messenger because you predicted 2 weeks ago that it would be done sooner.
I just think everybody will breathe a sigh of relief when confirmation is made official, because many [correctly, IMO] believe that adding this player's outside shooting is the difference between a good and a potentially great season.
of course they deny he is playing overseas - kind of hard to hit a 3 in Europe from CNY lolDenials that he he's not going overseas or denied an answer to the question ?

I will stick to the regular season forum to get everyone's opinion on how good we are...
I am just not a quitter. I started this and will see it through to the end
fair enough lolYou announce your retirement more often than KISS.
Can we update this thread to "Andrew Jackson White III" now that we know his middle name.
Wrong Jackson.Now it all makes sense, Stonewall gonna stonewall
