2023-08-12 00:37:45 UTC - MISINFORMED_OR_POTENTIALLY_MISLEADING

White’s grandfather, George Varnadoe Jr. Is the only source quoting Caleb White as being number 2 on facebook. The player was actually number 3 in the state of Alabama. No legitimate sources have Caleb as 25th on any rankings. This claim is embellishment. https://www.al.com/news/2023/08/pinson-valley-high-school-star-basketball-player-caleb-white-dies-after-medical-emergency-at-school.html https://usatodayhss.com/lists/high-school-basketball-top-2024-recruits https://247sports.com/Season/2023-Basketball/CompositeRecruitRankings/?InstitutionGroup=HighSchool/
