Last season, White had to compete for playing time on the wing with Andrew Wiggins and Wayne Selden. Though Wiggins declared for the NBA draft and was selected No. 1 overall by the Cavaliers, White still faced competition from incoming freshman Kelly Oubre, a 6-foot-7 wing ranked the No. 6 recruit in the nation by Rivals.com.  

White averaged 2.3 points per game in 43 career games at Kansas. 

The forward also visited Notre Dame and Maryland this summer.
