    Aubrey White ..... Wylie East (Wylie, TX)
    3-star ..... ATH ..... 5-11.5/176

    Wylie East 3-star athlete Aubrey White, a Kansas commit, was extended an offer from the Longhorns today.
    [UPDATE - some sites are reporting doubt that an offer was actually made; will monitor the situation and update accordingly.]
    [UPDATE 5-2-15 - 247Sports has relisted him in their Offers List]

    Per BON:
    Offered by the Longhorns as a running back/athlete, Aubrey White seems most likely to end up as an all-purpose back or perhaps even a defensive back. [O]ffers out to White are as much about potential as production -- he scored only three touchdowns as a junior, but given his superior 2013 rushing numbers, it's possible that White was limited in some way last fall.

    White looks more like a wide receiver or a defensive back than a running back, but he has skills that project favorably for him to continue carrying the football at the next level, especially his ability to stop and start again, as well as a slide cut that is impressive.

    His speed is solid, but he's not quite a breakaway threat on film or in terms of his testing time last spring. At his best, he's making defenders miss in small spaces or lowering his shoulder to to demonstrate power belied by his modest size.

    In the passing game, White made most of his catches on screens while providing some evidence that he can operate as a pure receiver and come up with catches in traffic.

    It seems there are multiple services who say that we have NOT offered him, despite his tweet. So, I guess the question is on whether there was an offer or if he was just thinking that he got one, when he actually hadn't....

    If he got an offer, it is another case where our staff shows that they don't care a bit about what the recruiting services and others say about any player. He is a 3-star ranked below 1000 on the 247 composite now, and that too at a position of no big need (all purpose back/ athlete). Maybe the staff sees something in him, I suppose.

    @jayakris... Have you heard anything new? I re-checked 247 and they still have him listed as an ATH offer.

    ^^ Sometimes 247s listings and rankings differ from what their own beat reporters for each university says. I think Bobby Burton was pretty clear that he would "hold off on reporting an offer" to Aubrey White. Nobody seems to have fully confirmed or fully rejected the news of an offer, I guess. So, I guess we will take it for now as a "may be" offer till we hear anything further.

    Coaches that make decisions based on recruiting rankings are playing Russian roulette with their job. We've already seen how that works out....not well.
