Rest well and thanks for the memories!

The program's all-time assists leader, White's four-year Auburn career (1983-84 to 1986-87) under coach Sonny Smith featured three 20-win seasons, four NCAA Tournament appearances, and the program's first Sweet Sixteen berth (1985) and first Elite Eight (1986). The Augusta, Georgia, native amassed 624 assists across 122 games as Tiger. White is also No. 8 all-time in steals (164).

My favorite team: White, Ford, Morris, Moore and Person. Won four games to win the SEC tournament and advance to sweet sixteen.

May he rest in peace.

And 3 of those are no longer with us…left us way too young . Seems like yesterday we were searching for TP to go roll Toomers after that championship game. One of the many great memories in my 9 years attending AU.

I turned my ankle pretty bad the first day of basketball camp back in the mid 80s. He drove me around on a golf cart the rest of the week and i got to talk to him for a little. I wasnt anything special on the court so I'm pretty sure he did it just being nice. He instantly became my favorite player

RIP Gerald. That 1986 team was my freshman year. Lost to that great Louisville team with Billy Thompson, Milt Wagner, and Nervous Pervis Ellison. I’ve hated Louisville ever since
