Tom Henderson played two years UH. From 1972-74. IN 1974 March led UH MBB team to quarterfinals of NIT against Purdue, after beating opening round foe, Fairfield with the nation’s leader in assists, a guy that was averaging about 12 dimes or so, amazing. Madison Square, THE GARDEN! Also, great FT shooter, in mid eighties, so strong going to hoop, so many AND ONES…

Same with Isaac Fotu, he can go left or right, matchup problems. Like a Tom Henderson, shot with either hand, could switch hands in mid flight to rim and layin, and one, … could not dunk at that time, however in pickup and practices, he could.
Tom Henderson, Star NYC DeWitt Clinton High all star, JC All American San Jacinto JC, and USA 1972 Munich Olympian, plus world NBA champ with the Baltimore Bullets. What a talent.
Maybe, …yet Tom so humble, says, that nowadays kids, have ton of talent, however need the focus and discipline, have to work hard.. he coach youth in Houston… so much talent from young age these BB youth today. However back in Henderson’s days, the playgrounds, he even saw Julius Erving, back on Long Island I guess, or the PARK.. tremendous story and athlete, Brian, probably waaaaay back in the day, UH MBB 1972-76, Sporting News first team All American as a Senior. and first round draft pick of the Atlanta Hawks in 1974.

Hard to believe, however we are rolling into August 2014. Start of workouts for FB team, and WVB, and the MBB and WBB team coming back , and workouts.

Wish the best for all athletic teams this year.

Still curious if Gib, Que and Benjy have any visits by possible signees, sometimes they come in on redeye, or maybe the staff still on road recruiting..
One more athlete, for that backup role, help front court, would help a lot for this year, not next..
should be interesting and exciting finish to Summer for UH MBB hoops.

Man ncaa could take long time…if major..criminal..horrible..i think gib would have resigned in may work out buyout..
seems like extra food, personal workout, practice time .,, maybe over time..contact…out of window ..I am guessing so much speculation..

until then uh mbb will compete for bwc title and ncaa or nit tourneys..believe sammis get in soon..

hope the best..gib has good counsel..entire staff..

It will be a WAR in practices when the returnees come back. Still, need Sammis, we pulling for you bro, get into to UH, maybe Que lock up an extra PF.. or super athletic SF,,… UH will go far , and finally into NIT< NCAA postseason!

Thanks for good write-ups. Isaac Fleming and Mike Thomas are proving to be two of the better and more entertaining hoops stars in this summer’s college league! Hope that Mike is okay. Man, getting those burns on his body, tough to heal, and his back, hope it is not serious injury. UH MBB, looks like going to really be able to use both of them, definite 3+ star athletes!
