Jay Henderson - G - Lake Highland Prep - Orlando, Fl. - ST. JOHN'S

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.

Why wouldn't he want to be on a championship ballclub???

So you're saying we have no chance.

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).

Story on game noted above. Henderson had three 3s.

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!

@BigCountyPreps1: Jay Henderson, Lake Highland Prep 2014 SG 2014 4A state final 4  @jsmoove_10 http://t.co/WAK9pcI7MH

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?

Looks to be more athlete than shooter based on highlights I've seen

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. 

Any update? Would love to add this kid and bring him along slowly.
