wow talk about some serious height with some speed!!! may be a little slim, but it wouldn't be hard to beef him up a bit...I say lets go after this guy...can you say deep threat?!

hello, henry received a very recent offer from NU, & he set a visit for this weekend, so he is here now

 

he has had an offer from utep since his sr yr began, & he visited there on 12/02. He also has offers from nm st, & has visits set to tt 01/21 & mo 01/14

 

also, he has a 35 in vert leap

 

I believe that downing/gilmore are recruiting him

 

p.s. he is NU's last chance at a tx prospect for this yr (since okung's name has been eliminated from rivals recruiting board menu, which I see as a tell-tale sign)

Henry didn't even make it in this weekend.

I heard Willie boy is going to New Mexico State, the other school that wanted him.

Do you even know how many offers Henry has piled up over just the last couple of weeks?

 

Obviously not.

Can you stop with these lame posts? That's the 4th or 5th post now you have done that.

Anyone know the reason for only 2 stars?

 

I realize that stars ultimately don't really mean a whole lot, but with this guys size and speed, he looks to be a 3 star+ just on paper. You would think there is a reason he isn't rated higher.

 

Is it maybe that he just hasn't gotten much publicity or sent much tape out? It just seems weird that a kid with this much potential would be rated so low. He also has offers from 3 big X11 schools, so its obvious he has garnered some attention (from the people that really matter )

[Ross4Ever]

I would guess he is only a two star because the recruiting services simply haven't heard/seen enough of the kid. Several of our recruits this year have got ratings bumps after they commit to Nebraska, but we'll have to wait and see with this one.

Would this kid be the tallest reciever ever at NU? I can't remember what Wilson Thomas was but I don't believe he was 6 foot 5. That is what the ND WR were all three listed at. That would be pretty hard for DB to handle.

I think Wilson Thomas was 6'6", or at least I had seen him listed that tall before. Yeah, look at some of the receivers coming in. Holt 6'3"-6'4", Brooks 6-4", Purify 6'4"-6-5" and then maybe Henry, aka Gigantor.
