In close to 2 1⁄2 seasons, East Carolina basketball player Caleb White has entered the 1,000-point club.
White, a 6-foot-7 junior forward with a silky smooth jump shot, reached the scoring milestone in 80 games. Only seven Pirates have hit 1,000 points faster than White, who has scored at least 20 points in three consecutive games, including 21 in last Tuesday’s victory over South Carolina State. That win gave ECU (8-5) an unbeaten home nonconference record for the first time since the 2003-04 season.
As White continues to climb the season and career scoring chart for the Pirates, his even-keeled demeanor has not changed.
