RUHOOPS, Can you do what you did last year and clean up the recruiting lists? That made it so easy last year to keep track of everyone.

Fast-rising Henderson planning visit to UVa
Chris Wallace CavsCorner.com
Heading into the AAU season, Roanoke (Va.) Cave Spring center Josh Henderson was viewed by most as a nice mid-major prospect.
Josh Henderson has seen his recruitment take off in the last few months. Oh how things can change in recruiting over the span of a few months.
After an impressive summer, Henderson heads into the fall with more than a handful of high-major offers.
The 6-foot-11, 225-pounder is putting together his official visit schedule and one of the schools that is line for a visit is Virginia.
"It's gone well. It's kind of what I set out to do," said Henderson of the change in the dynamic of his recruitment over the last few months. "I wanted to go out and play and get my name out there, and in the big AAU tournaments I felt like I played well against good competition. I feel like I've improved and that I'm more aggressive and able to make stronger plays around the basket."
Where do things stand for Henderson now as far as his offer list is concerned?
"Before the summer I had about 10 mid-major offers from smaller schools like JMU, Bucknell and American, but since then I have gotten offers from Vanderbilt, Cincinnati, Penn State, Davidson, Wake Forest and Maryland."
With a number of new suitors in place, Henderson has been hard at work evaluating the new schools that have come in with offers and coordinating official visits for the fall.
"I haven't cut my list but I know that I'm going to take official visits to Wake Forest, Virginia and Davidson," Henderson said. "I think my fourth visit will go to Vanderbilt and then I'll decide between Maryland and Penn State for the last one."
Of the schools that Henderson is considering, Virginia is the only one not to offer at this point. But Henderson thinks there's a good chance that will change and he has been getting positive feedback from the Cavaliers in the last several weeks.
"They like the way I run the floor, the way I handle myself on the court and my versatility. They also like that I can shoot the ball."
Henderson is also no stranger to the UVa program.
He attended Virginia's elite camp in June and also made an unofficial visit to Charlottesville during the spring, a trip in which he played some pick-up games with the Cavaliers.
How was that experience?
"It went well. I was able to run up and down the floor with top-level Division I athletes and I thought I held my own," Henderson said. "The main thing that most of them had on me was strength and I think that I will be able to add the strength I need in the next couple of years."
And it's getting in the weight room that tops Henderson's list of goals as far as further improvement goes with his game.
"I'm mainly trying to get stronger throughout my legs and my upper body. I feel like once you get stronger it just helps your whole game."
As far as his recruitment goes, Henderson doesn't have a timetable for making a decision, but he does know what he's looking for in a school.
"I'm looking for good academics and I think all of the schools on my list have that. I'd also like to come in and be able to contribute early."
As a junior for Cave Spring, Henderson averaged nearly 16 points and 10 rebounds per game.
Also an excellent student, he maintains a 3.5 GPA.

Probably best to start a new thread. That way every time we sign a stud recruit you don't have to wait for me to cut and paste.
