When I look at the landscape of current White bigs, I will often theorize where they would fit better (on what team).
Oregon State's Angus Brandt: St. Mary's, Butler, Notre Dame.
Being from Australia, I think a good California "mid-major" would have been perfect. I think sometimes it really is "better" for
international Whites to choose mid-majors.. kind of like how Andrew Bogut chose Utah.
Arizona State's Jordan Bachynski: BYU.
This huge big is LDS, and would likely be a monster on BYU and help them immensely.
Arizona State's Ruslan Pateev: Wisconsin, Portland, Nevada, Northern Iowa, Butler.
Another huge big that has "shown flashes."

We'll have to see if Natyazhko
(Arizona), Withey
(Kansas), and Erik Murphy
(Florida) will be forced to continue their "apprenticeship."
Jack Cooley and Jon Kreft are athletes to keep an eye on. With the coaching change, we'll see what happens to GA Tech's Daniel Miller and Nate Hicks. Wisconsin's Jared Berggren may emerge as well.
The Wear twins (Travis and David), transfers, will likely get some PT for UCLA next season. I have a feeling that Vucevic will return to USC.. he really needs to involve himself more in "help defense."
Nebraska's Brandon Ubel (Soph.) is built like a God, but he really, really, needs to "up his game." There are several other White bigs out there (Tyler Zeller, Meyers Leonard, Ryan Kelly, Mason Plumlee). Not by any means are we a "midget race." Fight on, brothers!
