John Henson Q&A

Posted Jan 22, 2014
You were very highly recruited out of high school. You grew up in North Carolina. Were you always going to go to UNC if you could, or did you give any though to Duke or any other schools? John Henson: It was between UNC and Texas. At the time, I was living in Austin, which is really close to Texas, so that was kind of my favorite. But UNC came in and swept me off my feet, and that’s the choice I took. (SLAM Online)
