Q&A: U-M high on 2015 G Chandler White’s list

JSC_8760-2-2[1]Class of 2015 guard Chandler White is among one of the top prospects in the state of Indiana. White uses his strength and athleticism to overpower smaller players and is dynamic slashing to the hoop. The 6-foot-2 guard has drawn heavy attention from Michigan head coach John Beilein and his staff and he most recently traveled to Ann Arbor in June for Michigan’s College Practice Camp. White continued to impress at the Adidas Invitational in Indianapolis last week with his Indiana Elite team and we caught up with him for a quick update about his recruitment, who’s showing him the most interest and what school he would love to earn a scholarship offer from.

What’s the recruiting update? What schools are talking to you now, and who’s showed the most interest?

“I’m hearing from Michigan and Indiana a lot. Purdue, Illinois, Michigan State, Wisconsin, Wake Forest and  Boston College.”

Have you received any offers yet?

“No.”

What’s the school that you grew up rooting for the most, and would be a dream school to go if they offered you a scholarship?

“Michigan, I like Michigan a lot.”

Who from Michigan has been talking to you lately? What are they saying about your game?

“Jeff Meyer. All of the coaches like guards who can rebound. He also says he likes my driving game. I just need to work on my jump shot.”

Have you attended any camps or made any visits in the last month?

“I went to the Michigan camp on June 9th and I went to Indiana  and Purdue before visiting.”

What’s it like playing in front of big time coaches in a huge tournament like this?

“I know this is a big tournament, but when college coaches are watching, I just try to go out and play my hardest, and let the game come to me.”

What is the number one thing you’re working to get better at?

“My jump shot and dribbling.”

Plans for visits and or camps in the next few weeks?

“I don’t have any visits planned, but I’ll probably go to some (Michigan) football games this year.”

What’s the biggest thing you like about Michigan and the program?

“I like their facilities and their coaching staff a lot. They’re fun to be around. I also like their campus.”

How much fun has the recruiting process been for you so far? What are you expecting over the next couple years as your game continues to develop?

“It’s really fun. I get to go to different colleges, and see how they work, meet different people and get to know coaching staffs.”
