Georgetown Forward Paul White has announced on Twitter that he will Transfer to the Oregon Ducks. According to 247Sports, White played in just seven games last season because of an injury. His reason for leaving the Hoyas was simple. The coach that recruited him left the program. White is a Top 60 Recruit according to several recruiting services.
"A skilled wing forward who can handle the ball a bit, White is a good passer from the elbows and also isn’t afraid to help a bit on the glass. Offensively, White will have to figure out his calling as a scorer, but he’s versatile enough of an offensive players to get others involved while he’s on the floor.NBC Sports on Paul White as a Player"

NBC Sports is intrigued with the move considering that White has played just 67 minutes in total time over the last two seasons due to injury. He will have some time to get into game shape and get to know the system at Oregon. Due to transfer rules, Paul White will sit out the 2016-17 season and be ready to play in 2017.
White will have two years of eligibility remaining.
