Henry Uwadiae '14 c 6-11

[Ricardo del Rio]

Thanks Sub and Trop.

What is the status? In or out?

I feel comfortable the info has a very high chance of being correct. However, with early commitments you never can tell. Things can change.

I don't doubt the info, but we'd all feel more comfortable if we heard from Sully or someone else in the media. His coach or someone out there would do.

There hasn't been any recruiting info on him. I don't know if he's playing AAU ball. If he isn't, probably the best chance to hear anything in the near future is from PS.

Certainly Sully checks this out from time to time... Get us some info man!!!!!!!!! :yahoo:

I'll see if I can find anything out.

I saw Henry 2 or 3 weeks ago (the day before the camp) and while I can't claim to be a professional at knowing how tall someone is, I still feel like I would be able to tell if he really was 6'11". I know 6'11" based off of EO. I was about 7 feet from Henry, and I've been just as close to EO.. I have a hard time believing he's any taller than 6'9". I'm not gonna complain about having a 6'9" athletic big man, but i'm just trying to share my skepticism with the rest of you.

Height is very often exagerated for basketball players, but you did also think Gavin Thurman was 6-5. Is it possible you were wearing two inch heels that day? ;-)

I like Henry's smile:

I was thinking Gavin was 6-6 when i saw him. maybe 6-7. same with that kid from wisconsin, they were both about 6-6. I know he was taller than toure, but not by too much and I believe Toure really is (as listed) 6'5". That seems accurate. Ben is usually listed 6'5" but's he's a little less than 6'4". And Joe.. haha I'm not sure what he's listed at, but he can't be more than 5'11" same with Clevin.

But yea, height is... rarely factual in this business!

I believe Henry transferred last year to United Faith Christian Academy in North Carolina and remains there. They are a strong team and I know he got playing time. I haven't seen stats.

He's got Shocker pictures up on his facebook wall.

[RoyalShock]

If his facebook page is adorned with Wu, it's probably a pretty good bet he's committed.

Agreed. Let's say that is the case and Armstead and Baker have scholarships next year. With Van Vleet aboard how many do we have left for 2012. I'm thinking 2?

[SubGod22]

That's my count as well.

[RoyalShock]

Seniors: Stutz, Murry, Kyles, Ragland, Smith

Commits/promised schollies: Baker, Van Vleet, Uwadiae.

Two.

Just enough for Ellis and Thurman!

But not if we still add one more this year, correct?

[RoyalShock]

True, but we are technically full right now with Armstead. So someone would need to give up their scholarship if Marshall gets a 2011 player.

[wushock]

Where has there ever been said the Uwadiae has committed.
