Former Hawkeye Aaron White joins the podcast!

We continue our summer series of podcasts catching up with former Hawkeyes and this time it’s one of the best players in Iowa basketball history, Aaron White. 

We talk to White about his recent journey playing in Japan and what that has been like. We look back at his Iowa career and deciding to be a Hawkeye and how he was able to help lead Iowa to their first win in the NCAA Tournament in over a decade. We discuss that 2014-15 season and how White put that team on his back in the last six games of the regular season to not only make the tournament, but win a game and what that meant to the program. 

We discuss his coach, Fran McCaffery being let go recently by Iowa and how that felt for him, a sa former player. He talks about his relationship with McCaffery and how they always kept in touch over the years and how he appreciated that he had faith in him out of high school. 

Then we talk about White and his family living overseas while he continued to play after college all over the world. What has that been like for his family and his wife and why he has enjoyed playing Japan the last few years. There are also former Hawkeyes playing in Japan and he discusses how they have played against each other. We also talk about how if NIL had been around how his post college life might have been different than the path he took.
