Wow. They went to 3OT with BG and ended up losing by just a single point, and Aquinas' defense kept BG to just 10 points in regulation. Bravo Drew.

 

[Luckylucci]

I believe Aquinas was the preseason #1 in the country, I could be wrong but thought I read that somewhere. But, yea, Drew is a productive player at a big time HS program.

Will lead his team in tackles with over 100. Plays with 15 future P5 players on defense on a Top 10 national team. Dude gets after it on film. A real head scratcher as to how he isn't a 4 star based on outperforming all the other 4 stars on his team.

Thanks for posting this! Wow. That's elite speed if you ask me. Hopefully he doesn't lose it when he gains the necessary weight. He may end up being our surprise stud of this class kinda like Love was this year. Gotta love landing the defensive captain from a team that yearly ranks in the top 3-5 schools in the country!!

Meausrables like the 40 and others? The nose for the ball can make up for a lot of that.

Gonna need some speeding training. No way he will be able to close on D1 lv backs offtackle like how he did in HS with his current speed.

Joe Schmidt 2.0 Everyone's favorite.

 

[zelezo vlk]

Is he still the lowest rated recruit in this class?

Depends which site you're looking at. Rivals, Pouncey is the lowest. White is the 2nd/3rd lowest.

247 he's the lowest.

Jeez, Pouncey should not be the lowest. I kinda understand why White is low, but he's still a solid prospect and I'm glad to have him in the class.

I'll take things "they say about every white linebacker nowadays" for $500, Alex.

Nailed the double jeopardy question. Nice.

I read in the 247 message board that Drew suffered an ankle injury in game. He was away from the play apparently. Someone said it's broken but I don't think he knows what he's talking about.

Then why post it?

Seriously, are you trying to raise the angst stress level for Christmas?


I found nothing from a google search under "Drew White broken ankle". A "Drew White injury" search found a 3/25/16 II article by Anna Hickey that noted:

... White, who is back to 100 percent this spring after missing the last three games of his junior season with a foot injury.

...

White’s foot injury has delayed his exposure – he didn’t participate in this month’s The Opening Regional in Miami – and has caused some programs, including the big three in Florida, to wait on offering.
But Notre Dame felt confident in its evaluation of White and treated him like a priority target during Junior Day.

Wow man. Pump the brakes. From what I read he was injured and left the game and did not return. It was in the discussion board on 247 with a few posters who watched the game. Whether he broke something, I dunno. Take deep breaths.

 

[BGIF]

Why should I "pump the brakes". You posted a unsubstantiated info, a rumor, and noted:

I don't think he knows what he's talking about.

I responded with "Then why post it?"

You provided more detail in the second post. Although you don't explain why you don't think he knows what he's talking about you do mention that 247 discussion on an injury came from "a few people who watched the game". A few people watching the game has more credibility that your first post.

Did some digging while watching the Broncos and Chiefs, I found in his hometown newspaper that White did sustain a leg injury in the first half and was on crutches "but smiling" in the second half. No details on the actual injury. Aquinas beat Bingham (UT) on 12/24/16 in the Geico State Champions Bowl Series.

Linebacker and Notre Dame commit Drew White made an early exit in the first half with an apparent leg injury. He was shown on the telecast on crutches and out of pads, but smiling, on the sideline in the second half.

 

[jmurphy75]

BTW, I grew up playing pop warner ball with his coach and he insist that we are getting a steal. He says this kid has all the intangibles.

I actually watched the game and I believe he walked off with minimum to no help. I didn't see the actual play and just saw him walking off the field with his helmet off and a trainer.. I assumed it was a concussion situation because he was walking normally.

Good news, thanks. The dudes on the 247 board made it sound a lot worse.

I can't fuc$&ng believe how big of a deal you made out of my post. Peeps in 247 said he got injured. Get a grip... Let's put this to rest. It's Christmas.

That's the noob mistakes BGIF intends to help correct.

Man up. You'll be glad you did.

This is awesome and I do think this kid is a serious gamer but no way does he weigh 230. I doubt he weighs 220.

 

[Irish Glory]

Today I heard from some people from St. Thomas that his injury is a Lisfranc injury, and that he had this same injury last year but in the other foot.

Jamie Uyeyama reviewed Drew's senior tape. The kid is way faster than I was expecting; I really hope that he can keep the speed when he puts on the muscle he needs to grow.
