Over four seasons, White average 5.1 points and 2.6 rebounds per game. He started in 51 games, including 11 of the Golden Eagles’ 12 games during the 2020-21 season. He averaged 3.7 points and 2.2 rebounds that year, too.
His best production came during the 2019-20 season when he averaged seven points and 3.4 rebounds per game. The Connecticut native averaged around 18 minutes a game, proving to be a big asset coming off of the bench.
White will likely provide some important depth behind John Harrar and fellow transfer Greg Lee, resulting in a noticeable difference from last season. Then, size was an issue behind Harrar, so a proven presence like 6’8″ White will surely help the team moving forward.
