I like this kid on film. Hope we offer.
Man 6'5" & 215lbs and still growing, I need to check this kid out next yr. We need his size
Henry will be attending the CU Junior Day this weekend. Should be a CU lock, but he's going to look around. Grew up a Buff fan and his brother went to CU, but:
"I love the program. I love everything about Boulder, but with the coaching staff they have right now, I just don't see them going anywhere," he said. "That's my only problem with CU."
He goes on to say that his plan is to visit as many places as he can, collect as many offers as he can, and maybe wait until National Signing Day. He says he respects Hawkins and Riddle, just wants to see serious improvement from CU this fall.
We better land him. One of my favorite in-state prospects. As Boulder Buff said, he looks good on film. Also, he's got great wheels for a Tight End to go along with good general athleticism:
"Henry is participating in track this spring. He runs the 4x100 and 4x200 relays and is throwing the discus for the first time after being recruited to do so by his school's track coach.
While Henry will likely play tight end at the college level, he possesses sprinter's speed, having clocked a 10.8-second 100 meters."

Glad to see we are serious are pursuing him. I am with Buffnik on this one, he is one of my favorite in-state prospects.
10.8 100m dash. We need this guy. That's fast. The guy will project to be a nasty TE (or could move just about anywhere on the DL/LB). Wow.
Hopefully it's all a mute point by next signing day, but something about those two statements doesn't add up. Either the first quote is a bit out of context, or there is something else he said that led to the second statement. Either way, just win or make a change and hopefully that particular problem solves itself...
12-PAC here we come!!

Finally a recruit who isn't bull****ting the recruiting sites and saying he loves everyone and all this junk. it seems like every article I read about recruits and their impressions of schools is like they are all terrific. that being said I still like this kid. He's just honest.
2009 highlights:
Through 3 games in 2010, J.D. has 7 catches for 123 yards and 2 touchdowns. Against Mullen last week, he hauled in 3 for 50 yards.
2010 Highlights are up:
I had a chance to see him workout with him today and the kid has a great work ethic and works out hard in the weight room. He was working on his speed and strength. He'd be a great pickup for the Buffs.
