A Light at the End of the Tunnel

I will say my only concern about Henry is the "Rice Lake Factor." He's playing a lot of ball against kids that don't hold a candle to his talent. That's where bad habits begin. In my high school, decades ago, we had two of the best players in the state who ultimately were incredible flops in the Southeastern Conference. The reason was they came up against very few opponents who had the height and skill to challenge them. I know today, with AAU ball, traveling clubs etc., is very different, but this is the one issue that scares me.

Bernard Toone may have had some of the same problem. He was so good that few of his opponents challenged him -- until he arrived at Marquette.

I, too, had to laugh watching the video of Henry dominating little white guys. If we were in a league with North Dakota St. - look out. I'm just kidding of course because Henry has proved himself against the best players in the country the last two summers.

As for "Loony" Toone - the only ability lacking was the one where he is the hardest working guy on the floor.

If so, it will be ignore the Meme Tournament this time around.

It really isn't annoying enough that he destroys threads here that you have to purposely destroy one on your own?

I'll admit my projection is on the low end. I am always hesitant to expect too much from a freshman. I let my hopes get up for Jajuan (projected 10 ppg) and was disappointed. I expect him to start and put up solid numbers. I hope for him to be a stud from day 1.

Honestly if Henry is just a 6'10" spot up 3 point shooter his entire freshman year we're way better off than we are this year.

I think Henry will be very good next year.  However, I don't see us going out and dominating the Big East just because of him.  Without a legit 3 point threat I think we will still struggle.
