Here's the deal. White was a Parade AA and had some of the best HS stats of any recent recruit to WSU. In the times we saw him late in the season, he appeared to be a hard-working, right place/right time guy, who wasn't afraid to put it up from 3 or to go to the hoop and battle anyone who happened to be in his way.
White is probably playing behind Carl "The Beast" Hall and Early's JuCo fame is limiting the discussion about White. It's easy to think that Early is so good that he will slide over to PF behind Hall and White will share time as the second option at PF.
I think we're underestimating White and giving Early a bit more credit than he deserves as a first-year JuCo trfr.
We've seen articles that talk about the great adjustments Early is making to take his game to the D1 level. We've seen in-game evidence that White's game is already at the D1 level. Early is one of the most highly-touted recruits the Shox have signed in 25 years, but he's going to be fighting for playing time. Don't be suprprised to see a starting front line of Hall, White, and Wiggins - or an early (no pun intended) sub version of that lineup this year.
We've got the #1 JuCo player in the nation fighting for PT with a Parade AA. We've had questions about how the Shox were going to score this year. White was a scoring machine in HS. Word is that White's been working on his 3-poiont shooting this summer and is heating up. As I recall, White was an effective 3-point shooter in HS. I'm going to make a wild guess that if the Shox need points, that Marshall finds a way to get White on the court.
