CBS Sports writer Cameron Salerno released an article on Friday afternoon listing the top-25 player retentions rankings in college basketball.
Miami Hurricanes star-studded rising sophomore Shelton Henderson made the list, coming in at the No. 14th player on the list. Henderson was the second-best ACC player on the list, only behind No. 4 Patrick Ngongba of Duke.
Henderson came into Miami as a day-one starter. He had a tremendous first-season with the Hurricanes, he was a dominate force driving downhill and getting to the rack with ease.
This past season, he averaged a total of 13.7 points per game, 4.9 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game. He also shot 55.9 percent from the floor, and shot 26 percent from behind the arc.
Henderson came into Miami as one of the highest-rated recruits in Miami school history.
Here is what CBS Sports had to say about Shelton:
Why his retention is important: Year 1 of the Jai Lucas era at Miami was a massive success. His second season at the school could be even better. That's because the Hurricanes landed several impact players in the portal -- such as Acaden Lewis and Somto Cyril -- while also retaining Henderson. The former five-star recruit and one-time Duke commit followed Lucas to Miami and emerged as the third-leading scorer as a freshman. Henderson has all the physical tools to be a wing at the NBA level and is a name to keep an eye on for the draft next summer.
