It has been roughly a year and a half since Derrick White decided to roll the dice with his basketball career.
The easy move would have been to make no move at all. White, after all, was in the midst of a historic career at UCCS, earning Division II All-American honors while putting up points at a pace that surely would have drawn the interest of NBA scouts regardless of the relatively small gyms in which White was putting on nightly shows.
White wanted more though. And so with one year of eligibility remaining, White opted to leave Colorado Springs, eventually packing his bags for Boulder to join the Colorado Buffaloes.
