Not the first time he's won this, is it? I'm starting to get the feeling this kid might be pretty good.

Don't let that get around. He might start thinking about not staying at MU for 4 years.

Wally's little brother turned out to be nice add-on to bringing in Wally.

How many second year coaches bring in a surefire one-and-done? Pretty incredible accomplishment by Wojo. (Not saying HE is there yet, but he's getting close.)

He's a one and done...
but I hope he stays another year...

this is what I think all day when this comes up! Just enjoying him killing it right now! It's a beautiful sight... just quite quite quite double doubles.

Henry is a very good passer as well, and not just a good big man passer. Most guys his size don't have the feel for the court or know how to execute the pass even if they anticipate it. Of all of his skills I might be most impressed with passing ability.

He will stay 1 (and only 1) more year....reasons:

1. Brother is still here...they are family oriented and that will still hold sway on decision.
2. He could go to NBA and get $$ but I don't think that's super high on the Henry Ellenson Family Inc. priorities.
3. There are rough edges, Wojo sees them and will be honest with Henry and Family on both sides...reason will win out.
4. Because he just has to stay and carry us to a final 4!

Yes. The long baseball pass, from the low blocks, at the top of the key... all lovely for his size.

Holy balls! I misspelled Quiet 4 times in a row. That's terrible. Ha I deserve that comment! Thanks!

2. Getting millions of $ should high on everyone's priorities.
3. Using reason, HE and family will tell Wojo the NBA has told him that they will iron out his rough edges.....and pay him millions while doing so.
