Henry Uwadiae '14 c 6-11

[wusphlash]

This guy is like a ghost recruit. Can't find info anywhere.

I tried to dig some up but there's nothing. Even the school site only lists a couple of scores from early December. But I did see the head coach is Muggsy Bogues. But that's all I can find on this team. There are some scores posted on MaxPreps, but no stats.

I saw where he had 2 points in a game, maybe 3 or so weeks ago.

We need a picture of Henry with Muggsy asap. Trop get on that. You will have a lifetime title as The Shocker Recruit Guru if you do. Maybe even a tropical shirt with black and yellow flowers with "Shocker Recruiting Guru" stitched over the breast pocket.

It seems as though one of the few things I was able to find was that Mugsey is the new coach at the school Henry attended last year. I think Henry followed his coach to a new school which doesn't actually exist.

Damn.

I just hope we don't have another EO in Henry...a 7-foot project that never meets expectations.

[wushock]

I think we do

It's not over yet.

Haven't you eaten enough crow ?

It's a little early to say that Henry won't pan out. He's a big athletic project. Some times they don't pan out. Some times they are Patrick O'Bryant. Usually they are in between.

EO gives us exactly what I expected this year. Good defensive minutes. If Stutz wasn't so much better than EO then he would see more minutes. Next year, EO needs to be able to catch the ball. If he can do that as a senior, then he panned out.

You will have to explain. You know us crow eaters don't always get vague references.

I mean it is hard to hold the excitement back when experienced SNers can't find stats on a HS 7-footer, and when they find a morsel of info it's 2 points, 3 points. I can hardly hold back my euphoria on this one.

That's all you expect from a 7-foot monster of an athlete that took "over the top" resources to get him to WSU? Just to catch the ball. 3G could have spent much less time and money to get a big man to just "catch the ball."

[wufan]

You aren't even trying. Once his hands improve his rebounding and scoring will improve. The staff had no way of knowing ahead of time how much effort it would take to get him here. Players with EOs athleticism and size are available about once every 20 years to a program like WSU. He is 100% worth the risk.

I think you missed the point. Catching the ball is seemingly the only thing holding EO back. Once he is able to complete that task without thinking about it, he will be a good C worthy of NBA looks.
