DFWHoopster -- a friend of mine is a college assistant coach and recruiter (can't disclose who). He has been telling me for a couple years that he thought Henry had immense talent, but also was a string bean and extremely immature. I know they wanted him, and generally, I think his recruiting has been grossly under appreciated or reported. I was told that a ton of schools "stayed" in contact with him and kept the lines of communication open and just continued to monitor him, just waiting to see if he was going to mature and get his grades in order. I was always told he was not anticipated to make his grades. Will reported somewhere on this board that he almost did. I was told he wouldn't but I don't guess anyone but the kid is really going to know that until the very end.
So, if the real story is that he went to prep school, got his grades in order, grew up a little and also has physically matured some (taller and bigger), then this could be real pickup. I guess we will see. I haven't ever seen him play but I am told he can be big time. So, if there is any chance he has or can get his life and head going in the right direction, I really think, particularly being a legacy, that this is a good gamble.
He was described to me as a tay prince type, e.g. tall, thin, near point handles with both hands, with inside and outside offensive game, laterally quick but not a real bouncy kid. For those of us who haven't seen him, do you think this is a good description?
