Buyer Beware. News media out west carrying a story today that Henry was tweeting that all coaches should know that he is "one and done" and on his way to the NBA. Also apparently made some other juvenile references. Apparently New Mexico sportstalk was filled yesterday with callers asking Alford to pass on the kid. Claims he will announce his decision on the weekend. FWIW the stories still say he is choosing between Georgetown and New Mexico. Apparently it was actually a youtube video, and the Albuquerque Journal saved it before it got taken down. www.abqjournal.com/sports/2011/04/20/lobo-hoops-recruit-henry-causes-quite-a-stir-with-video.htmlYou'll have to click on "trial access" and then "no, thanks - read article" to get to the article, which also has the video being discussed. You may need to let the ad play for a few seconds before it lets you get to the article. Sometimes I think our fans go a little overboard with holding our recruits to unrealistic standards, but after watching this video... damn. I am really glad he did not end up at Gtown. He's a kid--and they don't know anything. I remember the article where Henry Sims said he was going to Georgetown to take Jeff Green's place/play that role in program and would be gone by time he was a Soph/JR. Young people and dreams.  |

Yeah, I know that they are kids and they say/do dumb things. But to me it's one thing to joke around with your friends, and another thing to make a video that could be described as degrading to women and post it on youtube. That's embarrassing.

I remember that too, RDF. HS has always been a dreamer. Let's hope he wakes up and works hard. Same thing happened with The Big Ticket.

I believe that this article indicates that jarion has still not been clered academically, but I cannot open it. Word out here in SoCal is that the kid is talented but a complete head case.

Jarion failed to qualify at New Mexico and now has decommitted. Every story I have read about this kid and his love of himself, makes me wonder why or if the Hoyas ever seriously considered him in the first place. Sounds like the ultimate ego problem waiting to happen and not the type of player the Hoyas would want. Sometimes you lucky to not get a player.
