team. A 6-foot-3 shooting guard, Henderson has plenty of confidence in his
jumper and made 5-of-11 from the land of 3s. He's got decent length, is
starting to fill out and is beginning to show a bit more game off the bounce
than we had seen in the past. Henderson finished with a game-high 25 in a losing
effort.
Eubanks
learning the ropes on the perimeter
Currently ranked No. 99 nationally in the 2014 Rivals150,
Kobe Eubanks is already a fairly well-known player. The 6-foot-5 wing at
Plantation (Fla.) American Heritage is also a top-shelf athlete and capable
slasher.
Now, he's working on being more of a two-guard than a small forward and is
trying to take his recruitment to the next level.
His jumper wasn't there on Tuesday, but Eubanks didn't panic and eventually did
what he does best: attacked the basket. He scored 23 points and
grabbed eight rebounds.
"I'm making that move to the two," said Eubanks. "I can play it or the three
though. Either or, it doesn't really matter to me."
On the recruiting front, Eubanks is starting to generate some heat.
Georgia was there watching him and Central Florida, South Florida,
Missouri State and George Mason have all offered scholarships. More
high-level programs are starting to test the waters with his recruitment, so the
C.O.P. could be big for him down the road.
Tuesday's
tip-ins
• Central Florida has itself a nice player in wing Steven Haney. The 6-foot-6 senior from Ft. Lauderdale (Fla.) St. Thomas
Aquinas had a good performance in a tough loss. Haney used a great shot fake and
a nice little hesitation move to drive into the lane and score a late bucket and
draw a foul to take a one-point lead. He missed the free throw and Aquinas ended
up losing to host school Fort Myers (Fla.) Bishop Verot on a buzzer-beating two-pointer. That aside, Haney showed game. He can fill it from deep, has good size
