Eric Henkel

Does anyone know why Erik Henkel from Missoula Sentinel signed to go to Eastern Washington? Why would someone from Missoula want to play for another Big SKy school, especailly one that has never been to the NCAA tournament. Is there some bad history between him and UM?

What makes this especially strange is that Eastern Washingotn is pretty much ignored by the press in Washington - Gonzaga gets top billing in Spokane, and UW and WSU are pretty much all that is mentioned in the Tacoma/Seattle papers, although ocasionally they will make a small mention if a player from a high school in Tacoma or Seattle have a big game. EWU games are rarely on even local TV, unless they play Gonzaga. In short, I can't imagine going to EWU for visability or press coverage.

I am just curious because if UM is going to be a serious basketball program they better be able to sign the best players in the state, or at least if they lose them they should go to a top echelon team.
 
Kennedy didn't even recruit him, thought since he was from Missoula he would walk on. Full ride vs. walk on???? He made a good decision.
