Henson???

There are a few players in the class of 2009 that are starting to separate themselves as must get players for teams from coast to coast. One of those guys is Texas D1 Ambassadors forward John Henson and his teammate Cory Jefferson is close behind.

The 6-foot-10 thin big men are certainly no strangers to the high-major attention. Since both really emerging in the spring and consistently playing well at the national events, the duo has established themselves as very attractive prospects.

Henson is one of the most unique players in the 2009 class. Against Team Davis on Thursday morning, the Round Rock (Texas) native put in a modest 13 points but he also blocked seven shots and grabbed nine rebounds all the while playing three positions.

Just how good is Henson? He has as much upside as anyone in the class. It has been encouraging to see him tap into it this summer.

Henson said he has offers from Southern Cal, Notre Dame, Marquette, Texas, Baylor, Texas A&M, Arizona and Kansas State. Florida and Ohio State are also hot on his trail.

Jefferson was equally effective, scoring 11 points while grabbing 11 rebounds and blocking three shots. The offer list for Jefferson includes Marquette.

From Las Vegas- RW showing some inside prowess:

Renaldo Woolridge took advantage of a favorable match up against the shorter Zach Bailey and posted him up for 13 points on six of eight shooting.

Renaldo Woolridge listed Pepperdine, Arizona State, Marquette, Boston College, Tennessee and Georgetown. All but Georgetown have offered.

the kid is growing up in the shadow of the Tower of Texas and the Super Drum......seems like a real stretch given the stength of the Longhorn and (albeit a 90 min drive) Aggie programs

Whether it be Williams, Green, Warren or other guys Bennie Seltzer has a huge presence in the South.  His term in Oklahoma has provided trmendous contacts down there.  Now granted it may be tougher to get kids form that far away but they are interested due to Bennie, have not had that before.  Given our current staff we should continue to have a tremendous presence in the Midwest, East and South. A few nice tourney runs and the recruiting goes to the next level., and in my opinion there is only one more level to go.

All true, but I'd imagine MU's interest in Henson is driven by new hire Buzz Williams.
