White is a 6’7”, 220-pound forward from the Australian Institute of Sports and his announcement on his Twitter account on Thursday night made him the fifth member of Duke’s highly touted 2016 recruiting class, joining Harry Giles, Jayson Tatum, Frank Jackson and Javin DeLaurier.
The Duke program is also still in contention for Marques Bolden, the No. 1 ranked center in the class of 2016.
Things progressed quickly over the past month with White, who received an offer during an on-campus visit to Durham a couple weeks ago, when he was able to see the team in action in an 80-65 win over Florida State.
