UALR freshman James White bulks up, works way into the mix for Trojans

BURN THE HORSE
The UALR men's basketball roster says James White is a freshman. But he's come a long way in the year he's been on campus in Little Rock.

White, 6-7, played only five minutes last season before an injury forced him to redshirt. That turned out to be the best thing for him. White used his time wisely and bulked up from 177 to 215 pounds. That added weight and strength will allow him an opportunity to play both inside and out.

He's a good shooter who teammates say is a physical "freak" on the basketball court. In this BTH-TV exclusive, White talks about redshirting last season, what he expects from this season and what it's like to be a veteran player on campus.
