Yes. Saying what Chris said primarily.

Apparently Henry has backed off from committing to a school until around October or November now. I think he's just overwhelmed with the two others that committed today and that his projected timing is subject to change.

Is that what was in the peegs article?

Yes that is quoted from Henry in the article

Henry said he was "extremely close to committing this morning." Has "no hard feelings" that we took other commits. Said his time table has shifted back to October/November now.

Huh. Well that sounds like he's thinking about playing time. If he waits, I doubt we end up with him.

That stinks I was kinda hoping for him and garland to finish up the class

Seems like a reasonable approach from his end. I was hoping to get him because he seemed fired up about being a Hoosier, but with two quality wings already committed I think the scholarship would be better used elsewhere.

Yeah and the ones that committed seemed to be fired up about becoming Hoosiers too!

Seems the program said we're taking the first two wings after Race's commit, and Henry may have been left out. By his own admission he had the opportunity. A point and Romeo is what probably rounds out this class. He would be an excellent next pick if Romeo takes the bluegrass $.

Archie did not offer Henry strategically. Truly offered him a spot in this class. Jerome was seemingly going to commit regardless of Henry's offer, but Damezi loved IU and Henry's uncertainty could have led Damezi to commit earlier than expected today.

Based on his comments, I think he sees the writing on the wall regarding PT here. If Butler gets him it will be a great get and a guy I see being a great 3-4 year player.

Still see Henry as a college 4. I think there's room for him.

Welcome, btown!

IMO, you guys need to stop getting caught up in "what position will he play?"

Better questions would be:

• What range of size, quickness, strength and length players can he guard?
• What roles/skills can he provide on offense?

1. It seems to me that Aaron Henry could guard multiple size, strength, and quickness players, though he might have some trouble guarding length. When you're coaching a team's defense, you're looking at who the opponent's got on the court and wanting to insert guys that will matchup well against them. You're not thinking "who will guard their two, three, four", etc. Henry's versatility makes him a valuable addition on the defensive end of the court.
2. On offense, he would probably be more of a work in progress; would not have the ball in his hands much, wouldn't be a post presence, not likely to be a reliable catch and shoot wing.

Henry is an intangibles guy. He won't wow you during the game, but at the end you'll look at the box score and say, "He was all over the place!" The most important aspect seems to be the leadership he provides on the court. I would love to have him, but not sure where he stands with us now.
