Henry Uwadiae '14 c 6-11

[shockmonster]

EO's hands and ability to catch the ball down low w/o fumbling it has been a problem. Don't know how much that can improve. Maybe some.

[wufan]

Hands can improve a LOT! Paul Miller is an easy example.

I will agree with your assessment of EOs hands from last year. If his hands are still made of stone this year, it will be more of the same.

The one thing you can't teach is height all else is possible.

Henry is expected to sign today. He is rediculously raw but runs and jumps like a gazelle. We'll see if/when he reaches his potential, but I did notice that the Eagle listed him at 7-0 today! That's three servicable + seven-footers at WSU in 5 years! Crazy.

We will be the real trees in the Valley:pirate:

Henry is a project, but having seen him play, his basketball skill set is ahead of Ehimen and I realize that isn't a huge revelation but just for baseline information. I might challenge the 7 foot measurement....but he is a big kid.

I don't care if Henry is only 6'10", he's going to be a factor at some point. He's had the advantage of playing ball in the States for a couple of years now which really helps his development over the route Ehimen had to take. I still think he redshirts next year, but we could have 2 or 3 pretty good years from this kid. If we get 4, watch out!!!

Paul S. informs us Uwadiae has transferred to Evelyn Mack Academy in Charlotte. He followed Coach Tyson Waterman from United Faith Christian to his new school. Waterman played for Coach Marshall at Winthrop.

WSU is waiting on parents signature to announce class offically.

http://jucojunction.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1291482

"Wichita State is waiting on a technicality to announce its 2012 recruiting class. While Fred Van Vleet, CleAnthony Early, Derail Green and Henry Uwadiae have all signed their national letters of intent, the Shockers are still waiting on the return of Uwadiae's.

The big man's LOI must first head to Nigeria where Uwaldiae's parents can sign and then it will be on the way to Wichita. Regardless of when that letter gets there, Gregg Marshall's crew has put together one of the Missouri Valley Conference's best recruiting classes. A three-star point guard who can control the game, Van Vleet is arguably the conference's top signee. The athletic Early has put up huge numbers through the early part of the junior college season and Green is a thin face-up forward who can really shoot the ball."

Think good thoughts about the Nigerian Postal Service, or, more to the point, about that dude's mail scooter.

Henry and his team will be going up today against Oak Hill, one of the best prep teams in the nation.

[SubGod22]

Do we have any more info on Henry? How'd they/he do against Oak Hill?

[tropicalshox]

They lost to Oak Hill.
