Henderson is from Florida.
Feel bad for the kids since they both seem like they want to be here, but may be getting caught in a numbers game.
I can't envision any scenario where Jones is here next season. Think Barnes-Thompkins is also gone in favor of a legit PG. I can see an immediately eligible transfer at that position coming in. Not even one with necessarily good numbers, but one who at least was a full-time PG growing up.
Why not? If he's a guard and can score a little bit off the bench we need him more than a guy like Jones or JDR. If we are bringing in better guards I get it but it's going to be tough this late to find scorers. I'd like to keep Samir and SBT to see what they can do. Hopefully as backups to Sampson.
But they are on the official roster. Just don't get a free ride.

For some reason I thought Lavin gave Lipscomb a scholarship this past year even though he was originally a walk-on, am I dreaming this up?
It's my guess that at least one (maybe two) of these players will not be on scholarship next year:
Doughty
Barnes-Thompkins
Jones
Personally, I am not sold on Doughty being ready to contribute during the conference portion of the schedule next year. Would like to see a transfer guard with a good handle.

So now we have this All-Star recruiting team and they filled a bunch of holes in the roster. Great! Uh-oh...For the 2016-17 year, which is effectively next year's recruiting season, we have only three scholarships available, and that assumes we don't use another one this year.
Sounds like Chris will be doing some roster 'management', otherwise the All-Star recruiting team will be sitting around doing nothing.

@ Steve - The priority was to get a team on the floor for next year. They have done that for the most part, with maybe (hopefully) at least 1, maybe 2 more) good additions. And, they have one guy that will sit out a year and be eligible for next year. The roster will balance out, and next year's will be more balanced than this year's. There will be more to do for next year, and they should be starting on 2017 as well. A lot to do.
