Upshaw, no doubt about it.

I want both. Based on everything we've seen over the past few years....we can pretty much bet on some turnover which would likely result in a freed up sholarship. If we have nothing for 2013 kids...so be it. Rather have a top 5 class with Upshaw, White, DSR and Bolden and make a run at a Final Four by their sophomore year.
Love what I saw today from the freshman. We have hybrid ballers who can play multiple positions and contribute in so many ways. Adding White as a replacement for Hollis and having Upshaw anchor the middle would give us a very balanced and dangerous team.

Tomorrow is last day of signing period. If he holds off, have to like our chances. If he signs tomorrow, I'd guess Kansas or Richmond.

Wow! I like Telep, but that is covering his bases!

Having witnessed how well Whittington, Porter, and Hollis are meshing at the 2, 3, and 4....I am sure we'd all agree that adding a guy like White could be exactly what we need to keep this dynamic going.

GoodmanCBS Jeff Goodman Kansas in the driver's seat for Andrew White, per sources. White - also per source - expected to make announcement on Nov. 29th or 30th.

KU must be a pretty soft leader - if not, why not just sign today? "Some" school must be making a last push - or maybe he's just waiting for next week's head-to-head battle...

Sounds like he's signed and sealed for Kansas, just wants his family around for the press conference.
Della Valle and Pollard the last men standing...

While I'm not really interested in arguing semantics, I read he will sign the LOI for Kansas today and back-date it so he can still submit it after Thanksgiving when he announces.

Don't think it will be legally binding unless he submits, but I suppose if he's willing to contort that much he's committed. Either way, when we lost Upshaw I was bummed. The need is at height above 6'10" and PG.

I've never heard of this before. Seems like a very strange way to do it - I mean, it's not like the last day of the signing period snuck up on him. If I'm KU, I'm not totally comfortable with this.

We seem to be putting on the press, and Telep tweeted something recently to the effect that White, despite his best efforts, hasn't been able to make up his mind yet. The longer he's undecided, the better for us I think. We joined the race for White late, but now we're getting the opportunity to see him more and get to know him better. Plus, it certainly can't hurt that he's seeing our early season success.

Kansas just took a commitment from a SF which may take them out of the race for White. Cincy, Richmond, and Hoyas have all seen White this weekend while Kansas hasn't.

I like white, but I would rather let him go an stay on pollard and maybe we could get lucky. I feel like we already have a lot of wings and if we are going to try and get another one we should take a shot at pollard
