At the NC Top 80 event that was held in March, 2015, we wrote “Coby White is a promising young PG that has unlimited potential and upside. He is highly effective scoring and has tremendous range and a soft shooting touch.
The next step in his development is to become quicker laterally especially on the defensive side of the ball and to understand team defensive principles which will happen over time. That being said, Coby White is definitely one to put in your SIM CARD.” Fast forward to the 2nd Annual Phenom Hoop National High School Showcase.
In the game against a very talented Genesis Academy, Coby White erupted for a tourney high 34 points. Over the past eight months, White has quickly developed into a player that high majors should start tracking.
Standing a lengthy 6’3, White has an excellent frame and an advanced skill set that should translate well at the next level. White scored from all levels on the court and even knocked down three 3-pointers. He has a quick release and sneaky athleticism. White has elevated his play and his recruitment should pick up tremendously, taking one step at a time.
