Roy Williams checks in on 2015 C Henry Ellenson
Posted Mar 5, 2014
Roy Williams was in Rice Lake, Wisconsin on Wednesday to check in on 2015 4-star center Henry Ellenson (6'9" 250) at his high school. This comes a day after watching 2016 5-star small forward Jayson Tatum on Tuesday in St. Louis.
Standing 6'9" and weighing 250-pounds, Ellenson is a strong inside presence but also possesses nice ball-handling skills and good range on his jump shot. He currently holds offers from Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan State among others. UNC has yet to make an offer, but many recruiting analysts feel that Ellenson is an early Wisconsin lean.
It's unclear what this visit may mean in regards to UNC's current standing with other 2015 centers who have already been offered (Diamond Stone, Chase Jeter, and Stephen Zimmerman), but it's clear that Williams really wants to land a center in UNC's 2015 basketball recruiting class.
