2013 Target - Payton Henson 6'8" PF - Offer

Wow. We need to get this kid. Plus, his jersey is "34", I rest my case.

Bee, you are right that group could bring great days to Bear Country. More of a BCS size line up that an shot the ball. Getting on bigs early is a must, hoping we land him and he could still grow another inch or two. Do you think we have a chance?

Sign is kid. I know it's just a highlight video but damn has he improved.

Looks great!!!

Now he looks a little like McDermott.

Impressive! Sign him up Lusk!

So glad we were in on him early and one of the first offers. I really think it gives us a great chance at signing him.

Very nice! I hope we're still on him hard though, just because we offered doesn't mean recruitment stops there. I hope Lusk is still calling this kid on a weekly basis

PH is averaging 25 points per game:

Attending tomorrow's game.

And LOVING the signature 42!

Great report, this young man appears to be a complete player with size and can shoot the rock from distance. Lusk must like bigs that can shoot the three. If we get him we will have three bigs that are mobile and can shoot ,2 6'10",& 6'8". Get us a fast PG and let's rock baby in a few years. Looking more like a Purdue team all the time!

hopefully his friendship with Tyler really helps too. Tyler will be at the game Saturday

glad someone noticed. That was a fun photosho... Errr. Never knew how sick he was!

Possible roster for 2013:

Point and combo guards: DoW, MM
Small forward: KP, NS, CC, GT
Power forward: DrW, CK, CT, DH, BM, PH
Center: TM

That roster would have:
2 freshmen
5 sophmores (2 r sophmores)
1 junior
5 seniors

I love that roster. Assumes that CT might get another year of eligibility. Also assumes everyone on the roster from this year stays. So there could be one or two additional scholarships to fill. Would liike to add one more point guard and/or maybe one more marksman from three. Maybe Hammork and/or Lufile would be on this roster as well.

If those two were added (just a guess):

Point and combo guards: DoW, MM, Hammork
Small forward: KP, NS, GT
Power forward: DrW, CK, DH, BM, PH
Center: TM, Lufile

That team would have some serious competition for minutes, and not very many losses.

Is he sitting on the bench now?

cmon payton, pull the trigger and be a bear!

Saw to two of them with the parents about 4 rows up behind the bench today. They talked a lot during the game.

anyone else know who is even recruiting him? I can't find anything on other schools.

According to a KAIT8.com report on Oct. 02, 2011 Payton has offers from MSU and Ark State, and is receiving interest from ALR, UCA, Nebraska, Ole Miss, Louisiana Tech, Oral Roberts, Belmont, Army, Utah State, and Yale.
