UNC parlays national title into ACC's top recruiting class

Posted Aug 3, 2009
John Henson is thin, along the lines of Ed Davis. But analysts consider him gifted -- Bob Gibbons ranks him No. 5 in the nation. Henson averaged 17.7 points, 12.3 rebounds and 6.1 blocked shots last season in his only season at Tampa's Sickles High. Williams said he wants Henson to add weight and strength but considers him capable of playing next season at any of the three frontcourt positions. (Winston-Salem Journal)
