Georgia State Basketball has lost an assistant coach as Sharman White has left the staff and accepted an athletic department role at Pace Academy according to sources familiar with the situation. It is currently unclear if he will be the head coach at the prep powerhouse at the point.

White joined the staff in April 2016 after leading Miller Grove High School to seven straight championships and a GHSA state record six straight titles.

Head coach Ron Hunter scooped White after former assistant Darryl Labarrie returned to his alma mater, Georgia Tech, to join Josh Pastner's staff.

Sharman was a key recruiting cog for the Panthers as he was the primary recruiter on 2018 signees Nelson Phillips, Kavonte Ivery and 2017 signee Josh Linder.

Georgia State basketball returns eight of its top top ten players and adds former 247Sports composite four star guard Damon Wilson to an already loaded roster. The Panthers will be looking to repeat as Sun Belt Tournament champions and a return trip to the NCAA Tournament.
