I may be wrong, but I’m pretty sure Henderson is 18.

Your right she is that was a mistake on my part.

According to FIBA, she's 19.

Strange that she thought she is eligible.

Not sure but she stated that she was going to the u18 trials after the JBC game. Guess she is as shocked as I am.

She turned 19 in February. Not sure why she thought she could try out for the team then

I think there are some sour grapes about Samantha’s decision. But there are some who questioned a couple of aspects of her game before and others who have looked more critically since then. Some mediocre or poor performances with her AAU team and Team USA, as well as being slowed down by a freshman who called her surprisingly easy to defend in the Virginia quarterfinals, make her seem unlike a typical #1 recruit. She’s obviously good, but I’m in the camp who thinks she MAY be overrated. IF she is overrated, what’s a more accurate ranking: 2, 5, 10, 15??

If she is 2 or 5, then she is really good, imo.

She’s obviously good. The question is “how good?” and the answer seems to be more uncertain than with past HG #1 ranked players.
