Hearing we have offered this kid. He is now a full qualifier and prior to going off to a prep school for a year, he had a lot of big time verbal offers. Since most of those programs are now full for 2011, he is likely going to head to a mid major program. Right now, Fairfield, Northern Illinois, Indiana State and several others are on him.
 
6'6 class of 2011 wing Dre Henley was sensational in defeat for De LaSalle, finishing with 24 points and doing everything within his power to keep his team in the game despite missing a three-pointer at the buzzer that would have forced overtime. Henley scored at will on baseline drives, finger rolls in the lane and pullup jumpers, including a couple from beyond the 3-point arc. As we have previously mentioned, we consider Fairfield to be the current leader for Henley's services, as coach Simon has practically been living with Henley over the course of the last month.

Enough of Shaw bashing and let’s talk about the bright spot of the game. By far the best player for De La Salle and most prolific scorer on the court that night was Sr. SF Andre “Dre” Henley (6-6, 210 lbs, go to previous blogs for more Dre info). Dre finished with a game high 25 points and was the only reason why the 59-56 loss to Whitney Young was as close as it was. Henley did everything- shoot, pass, drive, rebound, and defend. If you were to ask me who was the four star recruit going to Illinois and will probably start his freshman year, I would say without hesitation Andre Henley, NOT Mike Shaw. For the whole season I have heard that he is the best player on De La Salle, and Tuesday night was no exception. Henley has a skill that can’t be taught and something coaches covet and that is a natural scoring ability. Henley was one of, if not the most aggressive player going towards the hoop and all of the scoring went through Henley towards the end of the game. He was the go-to guy that night and the most threatening scorer of any team. I would say his future is definitely bright for Henley, but there is great uncertainty in his recruiting despite Henley getting better day by day. It will be very interesting to see where Dre will be a year from now.

I think that we almost need this kid for next year even...I see us building a bit of a MOVAL dynasty here. We need length. We were notably small all around the court minus our PG...

Not sure about the dynasty thing, but Henley does sound like a fit and what we need -- a natural scorer. Sometimes we get into funks where we can't score and it would be nice to have a guy that can just find a way to score. I do agree with needing more length.
