She's not listed in any top 50 recruiting rankings for women's college basketball...I stand by what I said, "she may be our lizard under the rock"...
BUT, where is she listed anywhere in the Top of anything other than maybe in SC...

So half the top ten programs in the country are recruiting her but you would rather trust old guys looking at HS videos
One thing on that. No one challenged her bringing the ball up the court. Can she keep control of the ball with tight defense and a shorter player jabbing at the ball? That's Henderson's strength.
They can’t tie her up in a trap since she can throw over them.
Yep - we pulled our starters around the 6 minute mark of the 4th Qtr., Around the 4 minute mark of the 4th, Kansas St puts Lee BACK IN! We were up by 31 pts 61-30 at that point. Lee had 8 pts and 5 rebounds against Boston at that point - as well as against 4 fouls that stunted her time on the court - but then scored 6 quick points, 1 reb, and 1 block until she came back out at the 1 minute mark. They out-scored us 14-4 in that time - Lee got her stats for the game looking more respectable, and the Wildcats got their deficit looking better as well.
But in the long run, it helps our reserves get court time and in-game seasoning which will better help the team for the physical SEC schedule that is always rife with heavy fouls and starters having to sit on the bench for spells. And it ALSO helps the team come tournament time, when games against the cream of the crop start happening day after day....
I'm sure she'll get plenty of practice against Destanni & Zia applying pressure. If she struggles against them, then I'm confident coach will account for that. She won't be surprised.

Also important to note how well Boston is playing in limited minutes. She's averaging about 25 minutes a game and putting up NPOY type numbers on both sides of the ball despite playing considerably less than the other prime candidates.
I guess there's isn't a thread for Kansas St so....
Good team win. Great game by Aimhere. Girl, was on her way to a Quadruple-Double. But, at the same time I'm not jumping up just yet. With her you get a great game then she falls apart the next.
It's imperative we get Henny back for Maryland. She has many days off to heal. Hopefully she's back.

I was wondering about that to. I think #3 prospect Rivers is starting to put it together. The basket isn't falling yet - but that kid is going to be a beast
#4 Feagin also
LA will start at PG until Henny is back and then she can sub in for Saxton or Henderson. We need Henny on the floor when she's better.
That game looked really exciting. Watkins seems to have good control with her body to putback shots while in mid air. Whereas Fulwiley has crazy range and all the confidence in the world. Hope we can get her as well.
I believe Fulwiley has been AAU teammates with Watkins, Cooper, Johnson and Cardoso at various points. We were the first to offer her (along with Ole Miss) when she was in the 7th grade. She would be naturally fit for the role Zia is playing once Zia leaves. So it seems like we have a good shot with her, but who knows what a particular player is looking for in a college team?
Paige Bueckers injured with 38.5 seconds left in ND game. Best wishes to her.

Note the score.
I know the king ward types believe in "leave the starters in and show no mercy," but it seems unnecessary to me.
Well that is on Geno.Note the score.

It didn't look that good at all. I wish for her a speedy and full recovery.
It's weird: the injury to John Metchie of Bama yesterday didn't look all that bad. He was walking around afterwards. He did an interview with the SEC Network and said he felt OK. Now, I'm seeing he may have torn his ACL.
Sources: Alabama fears WR Metchie tore ACL
John Metchie is expected to miss the CFP after suffering what Bama officials believe to be a torn ACL in his left knee.
The knee buckled just like Raven Johnson. Could be bad.
Seriously, why keep her in the game? This is totally on him, she has a history of injury and she's already been averaging 35 minutes a game, this is all ego for no reason.Note the score.

100%. Geno's ego knows no bounds. He is probably still ticked about losing to ND when Muffet still coached there and was trying to take it out on them.
It's no secret that Muffet and Geno don't like each other. As they mentioned in the broadcast UConn has lost 20 times in the past 10 years and 9 of them came from Notre Dame. So I wouldn't put it past him.
Geno has a history of running up scores and it has never bitten him on the ass. That was just the price opponents paid, “Welcome to the big time kid, don’t like getting humiliated, well eff you.” For some strange reason he got a pass.
Well it bit him today. Bueckers had foot surgery this summer and was late starting fall practice due to rehab.
The ONLY reason she was on the court was to run up the score. Here is a segment lifted from the ESPN article
When asked why she was still on the floor even with Connecticut having a large lead, Auriemma was candid.
"I don't have an answer for why she was in the game," Auriemma said. "But yeah, I don't like our team without her on the court."

The BY is a hoot right now. Posters chewing on Geno's ass and turning on each other. Hate it for the player but the coach and fans deserve the melt down.
OMFG Geno, you are the coach!! Don’t blame her for wanting to play, just sit her ass down and develop your bench.
As for a concerted effort to rest her over the last 4 games, lets examine that BS
USF 38 minutes
USC 38 minutes
Seton Hall 34 minutes. Still in the game with 2 minutes to go with a +20 lead
ND 39.5 minutes
Exactly, the coach runs the team, not the player. You have to be quite small to blame the player in the moment like that.
