  • Christian White to Monmouth

    Share Zagsblog Share Zagsblog
    Christian White, a 5-foot-10 point guard from Aquinas (N.Y.) Institute and the Albany City Rocks, committed to Monmouth Monday night.

    “He chose Monmouth mainly because of the coaching staff and the academics, and location is an obvious plus, too,” City Rocks coach Jim Hart told SNY.tv. “He really bonded with the staff and players during a visit and they were the first D-1 to offer him.

    “He led Aquinas Institute to the New York State Class A Final Four before losing to eventual champ Jamesville-DeWitt [and DaJuan Coleman]. In his first year with the City Rocks he went from the end of the bench to starting point guard in three months and impressed  several D-1 coaches with his gritty performance at the Peach Jam and AAU Nationals.

    “Christian is a true floor general who is a winner in every facet of life.”
