Kevin Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 (edited) Looking like UB filled the Center position in a big way, an ex-Oral Roberts 10PPG who transferred to Clemson. Looks like he'll be spending his final year starting at center for UB. https://247sports.com/Player/Javan-White-46055000/ http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/stats/_/id/3913224/javan-white Edited April 20, 2019 by Kevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UB05 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Huge if we can grab him. Listed just outside the top 50 in the espn rankings that are posted in the other thread. Thanks for the info Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikescherrer8 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Just based off the trend of transfer players, they tend to commit pretty quick to whatever school they either visit or show interest in, we could very well land him. Who knows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBulls Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Would be a great get. Proven production though at a slightly lower level. More back to the basket and pick and roll. Seems very athletic. Not sure how his skill is facing up/shooting from outside, and unclear how he would be potentially switching matchups on the perimeter as we tended to do this year. But certainly would be a great way to fill a need and go a long way towards shoring up a the roster to compete for a MAC crown again.

His FG is very strong, 56%, second on the team I can say Clemson is a mess right now, and their fans were not happy when he announced his leaving Edited April 20, 2019 by Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perkins was a bit of an anomaly, and while it was awesome that he could hit them sometimes it was frustrating not having a big under the basket 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

961819 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Well he either hits his 3’s or is way off based off of this Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xDerekRx Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Interesting, so he can at least hit an outside shot if the chance comes to him. Kinda has an odd bit of Idbihi feel to his shot lol. Just from his quick highlight video he looks to move well. Like someone else said, kind of more polished version of Ikenna which would be perfectly fine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we somehow land all three because they all look like extremely solid players Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like Whitesell has a slightly different philosophy in that regard. I'm excited nonetheless about having some bruisers down low again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd consider him close, minus any last minute academic university hangups. F yea!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
