BYU Gets Swingman Back; Duke Won’t Get Henderson

The college basketball news these days is full of stories about the draft. Sorry folks, it might not be juicy, but it’s that time of year. To lead things off we have BYU’s swingman Jonathan Tavernari deciding to head back to school to play at least one more year with the Cougars. It appears he tested the waters, didn’t like the temperature and is now going to complete his senior season.  Jon Tevernari averaged over 15 points for the NCAA Tournament-making Cougars. This is great news for BYU fans, and probably for Jon as well.

Going the complete opposite way is Duke guard Gerald Henderson, who has sealed his fate as a pro player by hiring and agent. He was one of the highest profile players last season, being that he was considered to be Duke’s best player. He won’t be back for Duke, which is bad news for the Blue Devils fan out there. However, Coach K still has plenty of other good players returning- just not Henderson or Paulus.
