He is from Charlotte but he attends Veritas Sports Academy (Greensboro, NC); still has Charlotte connections and we appear to be interested. No offers as of yet.
Someone to keep an eye on. He is ranked the 19th best center and a 4 star prospect on Scout.com.
This is what Dave Telep has to say about him in July…
“Pretty darn impressive for having played only two seasons of organized ball. The 6-foot-10 Whiteside used to play street ball. He’s headed for a post-grad year this fall. On the court he blocks shots, runs and dunks – a lot. There’s a high-major future in his game and he could be at either Hargrave or Patterson with junior college also a possibility.” I believe Charlotte is interested.
Another post on scout.com about him in July…
“The light may be clicking on for this 6-foot-9 big man out of Charlotte (N.C.). Whiteside, who will likely head to a prep school next season, used his timing and length to swat shots in a morning game. He didn’t show many moves on the block, but was active defensively and ran the floor.”
Are you sure its not a mental ward that guy looks completely psycho, or maybe he was trying to smile, scary. Anyway, nice pickup Clemson, i can see the headlines now, “Seven foot daffy duck impersonator maims team.”

49erwhit is in the know on this prospect. Believe what he says. Whiteside is getting a ton of looks from major programs. I hope we go after this kid hard…if we haven’t already.

Perhaps since I just read in Gary Parrish’s blog that X is also recruiting Daryl Traynham.
