Recruiting Report: Brian White (2018)
Louisiana’s 21st-ranked 2018, Natchitoches Central point guard Brian White now holds two Division I offers, and has a summer to potentially add to that list.
First, it was New Orleans which offered the 5-foot-10 floor general. Then, this past winter, Northwestern State offered.
Other schools are hot on his trail.
“This weekend UMass-Lowell texted me, and I’ve had University of Houston reach out to my AAU coach about me,” said White, who described his unofficial visit to New Orleans.
“I like how the school is small, you have your own tutor so that’s good for school work. And they went to the NCAA Tournament this season, so they’re also a good team.”
He says he plans to visit Northwestern State sometime very soon.
In the meantime, he’ll be working to improve his game.
“I’ve really been working on being a better shooter and making my shot off the dribble more, and creating for others,” said White. “But most of all I’ve just been working on getting my own shot off.”
This past season as a junior, White was sensational, going for 18 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists per game. But he and his teammates fell short of the ultimate goal: a state title.
“This year was OK, I mean, we didn’t win a state championship so I don’t think I played well enough,” he said.
“My role this year was mostly to score the ball and guard the best player on the other team, and not let them score as much as me. Also, just not turn the ball over, and create for my teammates.”
This spring and summer he’ll be playing with Louisiana Roundballers 17U.
“This offseason I’m just going to stay in the gym,” said White. “And I want to get some offers from some places.”
