Andrew White III will leave Kansas
He asked for transfer
Kansas sophomore guard Andrew White III will transfer, the school announced.
“I do not have a list yet,” White told SNY.tv by text.
Richmond, George Mason, Cincinnati, Virginia Tech, N.C. State, Texas and Louisville initially recruited White before he chose Kansas in December 2011.
Two and a half years later, Kansas is loaded in the backcourt and on the wing, especially with Findlay Prep small forward Kelly Oubre coming next year to attempt to fill the Andrew Wiggins role.
“We’re definitely disappointed about this, but also respect Andrew and the decision he’s made,” KU head coach Bill Self said. “Andrew and I talked periodically throughout the season and at the end of the season we discussed what his role could be potentially moving forward. He had a very good spring and we talked again today. He feels it is in his, and his family’s, best interest to pursue some other opportunities.”
White played 25 games his freshman season averaging 5.0 minutes and 2.2 points per game in 2012-13. This past season the 6-7 Richmond, Virginia, native appeared in 19 games and averaged 5.9 minutes and 2.3 points.
