Monroe's dad actually told me he didn't understand why his son wanted to visit GU when he was a Duke fan growing up. He also said he had no dog in the fight and that Greg and his mom would make the final decision. We see how that turned out....

Recruiting 101... Except for the kid and closest family members, no one really knows what the kid is going to do. Sometimes, not even the kid...

Duke and UNC jump in all the time at the last minute and snag kids. I don't think we should be upset that JT III is trying to do this. If it works, great. If it doesn't, obviously not much harm done as it's not like the staff's been spending a ton of time on him anyway. It's worth a shot, and I'm glad he's doing it. If this kid loves GU as much as Telep's reports indicate, seems like we at least have some sort of chance.

espn has us with louisville, kansas, and texas. But he hasn't even visited our campus yet. I think it is just telep basing it off his article last year. However, if he does not sign early, then our chances will be significantly better.

Brian Snow of Scout indicates that he thinks White will wait until the spring to sign.

per Jeff Borzello of CBSSports.com: 13. Andrew White (No. 51)
Considering: Kansas, Texas, Georgetown, Louisville, North Carolina State, Richmond Still wide open and with no favorites, White looks like he will end his recruitment fairly soon. Plenty of high-major schools coming on strong. Prediction: Richmond
interesting that he thinks he will sign soon as opposed to Brian Snow's spring prediction

Don't see him at ncstate with tj there. Seems like a solid replacement for Hollis who would thrive in our system.

At the end of Scout.com's Signing Day Blog yesterday, Evan Daniels says that "the Hoyas are making a late push and don't count out Richmond." Also says he wouldn't be surprised if White signs on the last day of the signing period.

With Alex Poythress signing with UK, look for Florida to try and jump in on White.
Also hearing that White hasn't decided whether he'll sign now or in the spring.

Per Dave Telep via Twitter, "Louisville no longer option for Andrew White. Source close to program confirms offer expired. Cards weren't waiting forever"

I'm guessing it had something to do with the 16 players there for 13 scholarships.

So if they already have 16, how do the make room for Mr. Upshaw?

@evandanielscout
Don't sleep on Richmond & Georgetown for White. Wouldn't surprise me if he opted to stay close to his family.

So we'd rather have White than Upshaw, what the consensus?

If Upshaw wants to be a Hoya, you take him, period. It's our biggest need along with point guard.
I'm not against White though, you can never have too many skilled, athletic players in my opinion.
