Title: Jay Henderson - G - Lake Highland Prep - Orlando, Fl. - ST. JOHN'S
Post by: paultzman on February 06, 2014, 08:28:59 AM
We have offered. Joel Berry is a McD AA. Henderson seems to be a late bloomer from a solid AAU program. Scored 24 & 44 in games prior to last night.

@LHPS_athletics: Boys basketball wins district semis over Jones, 80-56. Jay Henderson scores 25, Jaren Lewis 16, and Joel Berry 14. Finals Fri vs Atlantic.

Henderson had 15 points, on way to regionals now. NC bound Berry can light it up.

@ChrisBoyleDBNJ: But, LHP was too strong. @JoelBerryII had game-high 31 points (six 3s). @jaren_lewis added 16. @jsmoove_10 had 15 for Highlanders (23-4).

My understanding is Jay likes us a lot, but staff waiting to see how things shake out a bit;

@LHPS_athletics: Boys take down Holy Trinity 74-58.  Joel Berry with 26, Jay Henderson 20, and Marc Epstein chipped in 14. Region final Friday, 7pm, @ LHP!

Jay Henderson will visit SJU soon. (Solid information.)I think he is one of those solid four year players we need, plus he can shoot.

Is this kid athletic at all or a max hooper 2.0?
Title: Re: Jay Henderson-G-Lake Highland Prep, Orlando, Fl.
Post by: jumpinjohnny on March 29, 2014, 02:51:39 PM
Looks to be more athlete than shooter based on highlights I've seen
Title: Re: Jay Henderson-G-Lake Highland Prep, Orlando, Fl.
Post by: paultzman on March 29, 2014, 03:05:58 PM
Have never seen him live, but from what I have seen on tapes, etc. he can score and hit some threes this year in key games this season. His team, with the AA going to NC, Berry, won State Championship, so he seems to have a decent upside. He also ran with good AAU teams in Fl. We'll see.

Btw, Dayton was & still may be interested in him. Good enough for them, good enough for us I think.

He would be an excellent addition, time to build a Jay Wright type roster rather than a Calipari-light roster

Agree, he looks like a fine prospect and in addition, we simply need more talent on this team.  Need capable bodies.

I really like what I've read and seen in video's from this kid.  Has the potential to have a decent impact as a freshman and also be the replacement for D'Angelo after that.  Seems to be a volume shooter, where some nights will be better than others.  But he also appears to be able to finish at the rim.

Was told this weeks ago. This is ok. He may help us down the road, depending on 15 recruiting success.

@NYPost_Brazille: I'm told St. John's likes Florida's Jay Henderson, but he may prep. #sjubb

Perhaps St. John's is feeling that Mason is not happening, and they'd still like to bring in someone else. If he's a legit 6'4/6'5 I'm all for bringing him in. We need a different look at SF in case Pointer doesn't perform well.

More likely laying the groundwork for recruiting or potentially recruiting him for 2015.

If they wanted him for this year they would have made this an official.

It looks like he will be part of class from SL's tweet. Redshirt?

I like his upside & fact he is a good student & four year player. That said, IMO he needs more seasoning & is not solution to improving perimeter play next year. Just not ready.

Acording to the other board Jay Henderson is a Johhny as a walk on.  If so, adds nice depth with no tradeoff on a scholarship.

Must be 2014, would make no sense to be a walk on if he had another year to improve his stock. Good get IMO. Worst case he is a quality practice player.

From a talent perspective, isn't this guy considered to be way better than your typical walk on?

This is a very interesting move for sure.  With Stewart, Henderson, Ndiaye and Lipscomb we have a pretty solid stable of walkons.

It's a good stable but with the whole backcourt leaving the question is whether we have some contributors there.  From what I've seen on film Henderson fills that bill while conserving a ship.  A no lose situation to me..

If crgreen was around he would be telling us of different past players Lavin had do this :/
