Friday afternoon pickup game

[shock]

Which means a) he's a natural and b) he's one heck of an athlete.

I would say that he is way ahead of EO on understanding the game and in offensive skill set but doesn't have his athletic upside.


He's far from unathletic though. He's a big presence.

I've received another opinion that he didn't look good and doesn't have basketball skills.

Hard for me to believe if Findlay is sticking with him.

I'd agree with this statement.

He had a nice jump hook, form wise, that wasn't the softest shot of all time yet I think he made every one (that I saw at least) and he was guarded by someone of close to or equal height.

Now, he didn't seem to "play" to his height as far as I could tell. I don't think it's terribly unusual for a high school kid that's used to being the tallest player around to not jump as high as he can on every shot, mostly because they don't have to....and Henry certainly fits in that group.

He certainly didn't have Gavin Thurmond skills, but he was far from skill-less.

I also think it's tough for a big guy like that running around with a bunch of 5-11" to 6'3" guys....which he was....and that a better representation of his skills would be against the college guys.

That crossed my mind too. When it came to game play, it wasn't and isnt' the best for post players. Unless they're able to step out and shoot from 15 or so pretty consistantly.

Does Henry have a thread on the recruiting page?

Nope.

[pinstripers]

May I inquire as to why not?

Lazy.

That's the kid. I like him. As a person at least. I want to give him a big hug
