For the CU fans who just can't get enough of WSU basketball, you have a chance to watch Jake White for 2 more years, starting in 2014-15.

My hat is off to you. Very clever post - implying that there might be a Creighton fan - or perhaps a person who's heard of Creighton - in New Orleans.

You almost had me there for just a moment.

There will be soon with Creighton and Tulane soon becoming Big East rivals. :lol:

(in rival Big Easts, I guess)

Well...I heard he told Coach Marshall he wanted to be "the man" to take the big shots. Gregg reminded him he would not be that guy at Wichita. So he found a place where that is likely to happen.

You might remember his tip in at the end of the half against Gonzaga. During the season he averaged 11 minutes and 4 points per game. During the Valley tournament he scored 9 against Missouri State, which I believe is the team you cheer for. Not a great player, but undoubtedly gave great effort whenever he was on the court doing all of the small things.

I thought Jake was a pretty good player. Wouldn't have ever been a star but would have been a solid player for WSU this year.

I thought Jake White could have been a better fit for other MVC schools. He was a good system player, athletic enough to fend defend Valley PFs (and even a few centers), and a decent shot. Those type of players have thrived in recent years in the Valley, but they have to be in a system that uses their talents.

Wichita State wasn't that team for Jake White, for a variety of reasons. In that system, he was a garbage man that scored off offensive rebounds and easy baskets, not a guy that had plays called for him. He wasn't bad on defense, but he wasn't nearly the defensive player that Hall or Orukpe were.

In short, I think he could be a good player for UNO. He's a guy with a good mid-range game who lost confidence in his outside shot with his limited minutes and shot attempts. In the right system he could be a completely different player.
