small forward, Dallas Kimball, 4* shows 5 offers with no NT listed6-8, 195, Any current info on Tony Mitchell...is he actually enrolled at NT yet?

Mitchell is enrolled at UNT right now, me and I believe a few other students on this board have seen him playing basketball at the Rec. From just playing a pick up game, the dude looks like a beast. Everything just looked so natural and easy to him.

I am 99% sure that Henry has an offer from UNT. With the way he has talked in the press, and with other issues that may affect his decision, I don't expect that decision to be made anytime soon.

From what I gather... and this is from some local coaches... but yes he holds an offer from UNT. He is from California, but his grades and USC's scholarships issues have left an interesting situation. Phillip Miller and Trey Norris both claim he has UNT square in his sights but this could change. Aside from what has been said, our chances are decent. I am very excited to see how this all pans out. I have Dillard and Henry on the top of our to do list, after we acquire the sun belt championship and bring home a tourney win.

I asked this very question to a leading authority whom you all (who follow Bball recruiting) would know his name....his answer on "Will Henry go to UNT?" was simply "if he makes his grades" implying that he could be an academic liability at other schools (as could Mitchell) and we have a strong chance due to the grades factor. Lets be real...if he can barely make the grades for UNT what comes of offers from other schools?

I suppose his grades aren't the greatest, but here's the info I have on Jarion Henry. I'm really hoping he isn't just lying when said this, but....

Jordan Williams wrote on Tony Mitchell's wall and said, and I quote, "Aye bro we bout 2 be killin next year". On that wall post, Jarion Henry wrote, and I edit some words I'm not going to say, "***** ima be at UNT too *****"

So let's hope this isn't just hype. We'll take the 81st player in the country to accompany our already astonishing recruiting class.

That has already been posted on here over 2 weeks ago... I will trust what his coach said over what someone saw he posted on facebook....

For whatever its worth, tonight was senior night for most DISD teams. During halftime of Kimball's game against Pinkston, the person introducing the players and their parents mentioned that Jarion was considering Georgetown, Marquette, Oregon and USC. (same schools listed on Rivals)

Though Jarion grew up in the LA area, many older hoop fans may remember his dad, Skeeter Henry. Skeeter was a good player at South Grand Prairie but a better player @ OU for BIlly Tubbs.

I'd put the Henry talk/speculation to bed!

but again....I considered Harvard, Cornell and others.....and wanted to attend but my grades held me back. I just don't think that his SAT/GPA will be acceptable enough for those schools (Marquette maybe). Similar thing happening to Tony....when grades and academics take a backseat then those schools just have a hard time justifying to the fanbase bringing in someone who obviously won't be able to handle the curriculum without some type of help.

If he cant make the grades he doesnt play. If he doesnt make grades I can see him going to a JUCO and then transferring to a pac 10 school.

And with Tony, UNT was one of his top choices and UNT is clearly not one of Henry's

Were you not the guy who posted the quote from his facebook exclaiming that he was coming to UNT? I would say we have a chance, especially with the grade issue. I do not know how to make it clear. But I promise this. I am not guaranteeing he is coming or what his chances are. But I know for a 100% fact that Royce Johnson has said he has interest in UNT. I know I can trust the coach who I heard it from though it was more or less in passing. I do not hear as much working at a middle school but there is always talk with coaches there wanting to get connected at the high school level. I also know that when Phillip Miller played DHS that he talked about the strong recruiting class UNT already had. He is holding an offer from UNT but is not planning on taking it apparently. (Do we really need another 6-1 guard anyway? not sure...) But he talked Jarion Henry and Jordan Williams. They have talked about playing together and the interest is there. That is all I know... sadly I have a full time job and a family so I cannot dig real deep on this one. So I guess we will just have to play the waiting game on this one. Either way we have a great class already coming in with 2 open scholarships and a great coach. We will be in good shape.
