Earlier this week on our radio show, Rick Pitino mentioned that the team has added a new walk-on whom they would be able to discuss further once he was officially enrolled at U of L. Well, now we have a name: Jay Henderson, who redshirted his freshman season at St. John's as a walk-on in 2014-15.
Henderson, a 6'4 shooting guard of Lakeland Prep (FL), decided to walk on at St. John's last August despite having scholarship offers from Florida State, Seton Hall, Stanford, Purdue, Mississippi State and Dayton, among others. He was reportedly under the impression that he would be receiving a scholarship from the Johnnies after redshirting last season, and when that didn't happen, jumped at the chance to resume his walk-on roll for Rick Pitino at Louisville.
