Shelton Henderson Commits to Miami, Follows Jai Lucas After Duke Release

Shelton Henderson, a top-20 recruit and former Duke commit, has announced his commitment to Miami, following new Hurricanes head coach Jai Lucas, who previously recruited him at Duke. Henderson, a 6-foot-6 small forward from Texas, is considered a game-changing addition and becomes the second-highest-ranked recruit in Miami basketball history. His decision marks a significant recruiting win for Lucas and signals a potential shift in the ACC's recruiting landscape, as Duke also recently lost another five-star recruit to Tennessee. Henderson cited his confidence in Lucas and Miami's support system as key factors in his decision. The Hurricanes' revamped staff, led by Lucas, has already brought in several other high-profile recruits and transfers, further strengthening the program. This move could have lasting implications for Miami's future recruiting efforts and competitiveness in the conference.
