Huskerpapa Posted December 18, 2012 Report Posted December 18, 2012 2015 recruit that we are apparently pursuing. At this point in time, he is the #42 rated recruit in the country and the #10 PF. Not huge hops, but pretty coordinated. Looks like he is bigger than his listed weight. Note who is watching at the end of the video. Minnesota, Iowa State, Georgetown, Wisconisn and others are after him. http://future150.com/hs/basketball-profiles/henry-ellenson-pf-2015 http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/recruiting/player-Henry-Ellenson-130527 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2F6qR7hUx80 Quote
Huskerpapa Posted December 18, 2012 Author Report Posted December 18, 2012 At the end of the video, there is another video shown in the window which is an interview of the young man. Quote
uneblinstu Posted December 18, 2012 Report Posted December 18, 2012 Man, get that kid in a weight training program and look out! Quote
Norm Peterson Posted December 18, 2012 Report Posted December 18, 2012 Now, when Brandon Ubel committed and we found highlight video of him that didn't show him dunking, there was a lot of complaining about why are we even recruiting a kid who's 6'9" and can't dunk? As to this kid, he has really soft hands. Bryant Reeves soft. Keep an eye on him. He has some tools. Hopefully he doesn't look like Andre in a couple of years. Quote
Red Rum Posted December 18, 2012 Report Posted December 18, 2012 People give Kevin Love crap about not dunking. So I'm going to take the short leap and say that he is just like Kevin Love. Sign him up. But in seriousness I would like to see a little more effort on those put backs. He reminds me of a guy on my rec league team that barely gets off the floor. It frustrates me. Anyway now that I actually have watched the video he does seem to have more of a Kevin Love type game as opposed to a true PF game. Quote
Silverbacked1 Posted December 18, 2012 Report Posted December 18, 2012 Okay he is a 6-9 250 15 year old Freshman in High School. He will tend to be a bit slow and won't have the best ups. He more than likely is far from being physically mature. I know there are freaks of nature that are that big and can do it all at 15, Henry doesn't seem to be one of them. He is the third of three brothers that all seem to be over 6-9 and thinner than him. See article here: http://www.gopherhole.com/news_article/show/145631?referrer_id=388419 Also this from a Wisconsin message board: http://mbd.scout.com/mb.aspx?s=193&f=2565&t=8931050 Sounds like brother is the more athletic and he is at Minnesota. Could be a good one to watch. Norm Peterson 1 Quote
Norm Peterson Posted December 18, 2012 Report Posted December 18, 2012 Oh, yeah, definitely a good one to watch. Great soft hands. That's huge. And he wasn't afraid to take it to the defender. Quote
