North Carolina commit Coby White of Greenfield School is on everyone’s list for Mr. Basketball for this upcoming season. At 6-foot-4, White is a pure scorer, who has the size to defend in the Atlantic Coast Conference. He averaged nearly 28 points per game last season for Rob Salter at Greenfield School in Wilson.
Attacking down hill, getting out and running in the open floor, finishing end-to-end and a soft touch around the rim has propelled him from being a talk in North Carolina as a player to see, to now a player nationally to see. A taller point guard at 6’4″ he can see over other guards which allows him to make easier passes. White has the ability to knock down mid-range jump shots all the way to the three-point line. White also possesses a high basketball IQ that other players his age do not have.
After a strong summer with Team CP3 on the Nike EYBL circuit, Roy Williams extended a offer to the Class of 2018 guard White. After talking it over with his family, White committed almost a week later. He is the second recruit for the class for North Carolina including former Concord High School star Rechon Black who is now at Montverde Academy in Florida.
