New piece on Hammerin' Hank from Tarik: www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/12/22/AR2010122205084.html"After those final frustrating days of a sophomore season in which he played less than seven minutes on average, Sims, at the urging of Coach John Thompson III, returned to his home town of Baltimore - not to work on his game, but rather to rededicate himself to it. "I had gotten used to the college atmosphere," Sims said Wednesday. "I was on my own with no rules. I went home, and me and my mother sat down and had a lot of talks. She brought me back down to earth and laid it out for me plain and simple. Being at home with her for four weeks, it made me realize what I was doing all this for. She helped me refocus." Thompson agreed with Sims's blunt self-assessment, saying, "Last year, Henry enjoyed college a little too much. But his mom is extremely important to him and a big influence on him, and collectively, they got him back on track." Perhaps we should have a "Hank Sims's Mom!" chant at the next game she attends? Sounds like she gave him the kick in the pants he needed.

EDIT: You really like as a Fan hearing stories like this. Henry's always seemed like a good kid (same from what I've heard) and it's really nice to see his maturity being rewarded. Let's hope he keeps at it and keeps improving.

I was hoping Tarik would hammer out an article about the HenDogg. Great kid. Just had to focus up a little. Now show us all of your potential Henry.
