USF’s big day of offers on Wednesday included North Rowan (NC) High School center Brandon White earning an offer from the Bulls.

White, the No. 144 ranked prospect in the Rivals150 for the class of 2022, the 6-foot-11, 250-pounder listed offers from USF, East Carolina, Houston, Mississippi, Virginia Tech, Wake Forest and Western Kentucky. He also claims interest from Illinois, Tennessee and multiple ACC programs.

Averaging 16 points, 12 rebounds and three blocks per game, White notched a career high of 30 points, had a triple-double of 18, 12 and 10 plus a double-double of 20 and 22 to highlight his sophomore season.

Bulls head coach Brian Gregory called White on Wednesday to make the offer. Needless to say, the conversations went well.

“He was talking about how he loved my game and how I move up and down the court. He said he was glad he got me on the phone because he knows my phone has been blowing up ever since Monday. He said he wants to build a relationship.

The three-star center told BullsInsider.com that he models his game after a NBA hall of famer.

“I’ve studied Shaq a little bit,” White said of Shaquille O’Neal. The dog in him and the post move where he leans back and spins to the basket. Recently I’m trying to expand my game, so I’ll watch Giannis Antetokounmpo.”

We also spoke with North Rowan head coach Jason Causby to get his thoughts on White who, he said, has only been playing organized basketball since the eighth grade.

IN HIS COACH’S WORDS

He’s a great kid.

I think that the most intriguing thing about Brandon is that he does a lot of things well and it’s all sort of new to him. He has an uncanny ability to block shots. It’s natural to him. He can time when the ball leaves the shooter’s hand and he can, if not, cuff the ball altogether he can definitely piece it and alter a lot of shots. Not just around the basket but he closes well from the lane out to the perimeter.

For a player his size he runs the floor extremely well, he catches the ball – good or bad feeds because he’s got big mitts -- he gets off the floor extremely well, when he gets the ball anywhere within ten feet of the basket he’s looking at either going straight up and trying to take the rim down or getting there in one dribble and trying to dunk on somebody.

That’s just his mentality. You can’t coach that.

He’s still raw as far as his offensive game but we talk a lot about developing a back to the basket go-to move. He’s just now starting to scratch the surface.
