Five-star wing Shelton Henderson announces Top 3 schools
By ADAM ZAGORIA
Shelton Henderson, the five-star wing out of Bellaire (TX) and JL3 Elite, has cut his list to three schools, he announced.
The 6-foot-6 small forward is down to Duke, Louisville and Texas. He has visited all three schools, most recently hitting Duke for “Countdown to Craziness” along with fellow elite recruits Acaden Lewis and Nate Ament.
He broke down all three schools for On3.com:
Duke: “I feel like just me building that relationship with Coach [Jon] Scheyer and Coach [Jai] Lucas and having that connection with them has really helped. Just being on the phone with them talking about how they can see me playing with them and just the culture that they have there and the players that they send to the league. It’s something I really look at because that’s my dream so just hearing from them a lot I think is something special. Just like the fan base that’s up there, the culture, Durham, Cameron Indoor stadium, is I’m really looking forward to seeing firsthand when I go on my visit.”
Louisville: “Me and Coach [Pat] Kelsey have been building a great relationship since he got the job. And coach Hamilton leaving LSU and going to Louisville and having him hit me up right away that shows that they really believe in me and coming in there and making an immediate impact. Them being my first visit I’m really looking forward to that. I really enjoyed talking to Coach Kelsey. He’s really really cool dude, really easy to connect with so I think just think building that relationship is definitely going to be easy.”
Texas: “Having a conversation with Coach [Rodney] Terry and just build another relationship with him and coach Brandon has been really really good experience. Just the whole staff having that belief in me coming in there as a freshman and just helping that program out and continue building what they have up there in Austin. The culture that they have up there too like the fan base and all they have to offer, I have really been paining attention to that. Just being in Texas also is something I look at.”
