I think the fact that it is in NYC doesn't mean anything. And, I am at a loss what Rochester has to do with anything, but maybe I missed something. However, I will be hugely surprised if he picks CU. IMO Providence probably signed White when Ponds told them he wasn't coming there. Or, they told the two that the first two sign gets the schollie. With that gone, he can tell his parents that he really considered getting out of town, but now he is left with St. Johns.
Based on his comments about playing time, I just don't see him coming to CU where he might be a backup for a couple of years - particularly if he has visions of being in the NBA by the time he turns 21 (don't know that he has, just saying IF he has).
It's going to boil down to whether or not he (and his family) decide if it is better for him to stay in NY or go away for school. There are certainly pros and cons for each - it is well documented the challenges that some NYC point guards have had when they stayed home to play ball. Your point about playing time - at Creighton he would have Mo Watson here for a year to compete with - in terms of returning starter. At St. Johns - they have two high profile freshman point guards on the roster - Marcus LoVett was a 4 star top 25 kid and Federico Mussini was a high profile Euro PG. He will have to compete with them for 3 years (or 4 if one of them redshirts). Providence probably had the best scenario for an immediate start with Dunn leaving after this year, but with the signing of White - perhaps puts that option to rest?
Regardless - it will be an interesting day tomorrow...
