Little article yesterday in the LA Times on Henley.
Jaden Henley transferred to Colony High from Corona and spent a season playing junior varsity as he grew from 6-3 to 6-7. His game greatly grew too.

Good read.
From the article:
Said De Fabiis: “Every time I look at him, I think he’s growing.”
This season, Henley has become a revelation. He has used his height to attack in the key but also shown the ability to make threes. He plays stellar defense and it’s clear Minnesota might have come away with a steal. He’s averaging 17.2 points, 6.1 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 2.3 steals for 13-1 Colony.
Henley certainly knows what he’s facing by going to a college in a state where the temperature can be no higher than his No. 10 jersey.
“It gets pretty cold,” he said of his official visit to Minnesota. “When I was there, it got to 12 degrees.”
The Gophers’ coaching staff did not hide anything.
“I’ve never seen snow like that,” he said.
Henley said he “likes the cold personally.” More importantly, he said he “loved” everything he saw.
“I loved the energy, the people, the coaching staff,” he said.
Go Gophers!!
