man, I wish that wouldn't happen. I really like white.

Bummer if true. I'll still remember his buzzer beating tip-in against the Zags twenty years from now.

Jake would not have been my first choice if I were creating space. I've really enjoyed watching him progress in his time here and wish him nothing but the best. I'm guessing he'll move closer to home.

I thought this was a fan board. You know a safe place to interject fact, opinion and general discussion about our beloved Shockers. I don't believe I am personally liable to anyone or entity when I give an opinion that CJ, or Watson, or Baker, or White is a candidate not to return. That falls under opinion. It may be a bad opinion (which many on SN are used to with me), but as long as the opinion isn't laced with some personal attack I will take my chances. Continue the discussion.

I wrote the original guideline that SB quoted. Back at that time we would get rumors that certain players weren't happy or were going to transfer. They were sometimes correct, other times not. I thought the best course of action was to wait until something credible was reported. Since then we've allowed opinions of who we thought might be a candidate for transfer, ie. speculation. It can be a fine line but one that I think is good to protect players from potentially harmful rumors.

Shame if that's true. I liked White ... scared me whenever he was on the perimeter, but he always played very hard when he was on the court. He fought for rebounds like an animal.

Glad he had a couple great moments in the tourney if he's gone, though. I'd much rather remember him for those moments than how he was the unluckiest player in the world with charge/block calls.

White's production kept other guys off the court this year. I'll miss him! Would have loved to see him hit dagger three's when other teams sagged off of him.

[shockmonster]

He was a true team player. I'm glad certain posters aren't posting anymore. It'd be a circus.

Loved Jake. Hope he finds a new place to play and I wish him the best.

With his showing in the Tourney and the new coach at Minny, I wonder if he'll take that path?

[BenWSU]

KWCH just confirmed

If it's playing time he is wanting, I would assume he would go to a lower profile division 1 school.

Like NIU? :)

I'd be surprised if that path was available for the taking.

The post that was deleted, which I would think is now fair game, said he was headed to South Dakota.
