Corey Henderson '14 pg 6-3 is a Shocker!

[shocks02]

Found this article on Episcopal School of Dallas' game against Duncanville http://www.dallasnews.com/sports/hig...gainst-esd.ece

Looks like Corey had 8 points in the 59-56 loss.

Trop, is WSU interested in Henderson's teammate Gordon Gehan, who led ESD (actually against Prime Prep, not Duncanville, if I read correctly)?

Gehan is listed as a 2015 SG who stands 6-5, 200; and WSU is scheduled after 2015 to lose a wing in Tekele Cotton, although it would appear that Cotton may be a much different type of player than Gehan is.

I haven't seen anything tying Gehan to WSU recruiting. However, Gehan has yet to make a big name for himself, so perhaps the Shockers will get on him earlier then others.

Any truth to the rumor that 3G and staff have been combing the MMA ranks (unsuccessfully so far) in an attempt to try and replace Tekele's toughness.

Unfortunately, almost no MMA guys can shoot the three.

But they do have a better front kick than Jackie Carmichael. Maybe that can balance out?

How is he doing so far this season?

He's averaging 14 pts / 6 reb / 8 assists per this article.

Caught Corey's last home game on Friday at ESD. Really liked him. He's like a longer, taller version of Clevin -- a pass-first PG with a nice touch from outside. Plays under control. Great handles and court vision. He had several ooh-ahh assists for layups that came from unexpected angles, albeit against an lower-division team in Oakridge. Showed excellent speed in the open court. Disruptive in the passing lanes with several tipped passes. He's more of a greyhound than Fred, longer but slight of build. He's got a good frame, though, and should be able to add weight and strength quickly.

I think he's a player and could see rotation time next year behind Fred as he gets stronger over the summer.

(ESD also had an excellent junior guard in 6-2 Grant Troutt, who was high scorer. He's being recruited by Kansas St, Houston, TCU, Rhode Island and Cal Poly as a pure point guard. He's a two-guard at ESD. Draw your own conclusions there.)

Gehan tied Troutt for high scorer but did so mainly as a post player. Didn't see him away from the basket much.

Thanks for the report. I like what I've seen and read on Corey.

[forevershockerfan]

I look for Henderson, Brown and Kelly to be in our player rotation next Season. Would it deem greedy of me to still include Atwood on my wish list if a slot was to open up?

[pinstripers]

That's the way I see it, those four.

[Downtown Shocker Brown]

Hamilton?

[bunck]

Hamilton?

He's thought to be the most raw of the bunch and a probable redshirt.

[wsushox1]

Corey will definitely see time next year, IMO.

I'm super excited.
