Arkansas Razorbacks

Considering they’ve been in the picture for literally every power conference caliber transfer, there no reason why Arkansas wouldn’t be after White. They had one of the smallest lineups in NCAA Basketball last season, using primarily four guards. They will be bigger automatically, thanks to incoming top-75center Jaylin Williams, along with eligible sit-out transfers Connor Vanover and Abayomi Iyiola.

White would be an upgrade overall all of them, thanks to both his experience and defense that he would bring. But it’s important to note that along with being close to home, the Sun Devil forward wanted to be a bigger part of a team’s offense. Coach Musselman’s offenses thrive from the perimeter and the outside, rather than in the paint. He’d have a role with the Hogs but not necessarily the biggest.

Auburn Tigers

With the top three frontcourt players (Anfernee McLemore, Austin Wiley and Danjel Purifoy) having all graduated, there’s plenty of minutes available for a quality big man to come get. White would be a good pairing with incoming top-50 forward JT Thor, who can help space the Tigers offense.

With five-star point guard Sharife Cooper expected to lead the way, having some experience in the frontcourt would do everyone well. Coach Pearl usually has one of the better offenses in college basketball so White would get to showcase his offensive abilities for a team that could make the Big Dance.
