Interesting Jordan Brand Classic Interview with Ryan Kelly, Henry, and Henson

[CLT Devil]

I actually thought Henson was pretty funny. Also interesting that Kelly played in Argentina.

You can't this too seriously. Remember the whole 'K v. Obama's Brackets' thing? I think it was just some HS kids showing their lighter side.

Sorry if it's already been asked, but is this game on TV?

Let's be honest. Most of us probably read that interview looking for something to hate about Henson because he's going to Carolina. If he was one of our recruits or was going somewhere besides Chapel Hill he'd be a funny guy who was having a fun with the interview.

Henson has a very good wit and is very engaging. He is clearly going to be a quote machine and will generate a lot of bulletin board material. the scary thing is that he will likely back it up. He is very, very good and will get better. He and Davis will be a handful.

He and Davis will be a handful.

This probably belongs in another thread but this is the exact reason why I think it's crazy that people think the only way Duke will be successful is if they find a "banger". Neither Davis or Henson are "bangers" and yet they can be very effective, sometimes dominate, in the post because of their length and athleticism.

Henson does seem like the annoying, obnoxious type. Here's to hoping Kelly goes 4-0 at UNC while Henson's there.

1-0. One year for Henson.

I thought it was pretty hilarious in that espn chat the other week with Mason P. when he was ask if he had been working on his floor slap... gotta laugh when its earned.

Interesting point but I'd also like to point out that these guys would also be the "athletic" guy we're looking for. Patterson is a banger but Monroe not so much. We're not looking for bangers necessarily.

The Plumlees certainly fit the bill, though and while Mason might not be quite as far along in his development as Henson, yet, he's got the potential. It will also be interesting to see how much of a leap Miles makes from freshman year to sophomore year.
