You don’t always see too many articles about a rising freshman but at times, you just see that a young player has the game that could quickly be a topic of discussion down the road. One of those players that high school basketball fans around North Carolina should start learning is 2025 6’3 Isaiah Henry.
If that last name sounds familiar, you may also know KJ Henry who was a dual-sport athlete at West Forsyth high school but was a 5-star defensive end that is now at Clemson.
Isaiah though looks to be taking the basketball route and as a young prospect, there is a lot to like about his game. We have had a chance to watch him on multiple occasions, in which he has been posting 20 or 30+ point performances regularly. We first got a chance to watch him at Team EAT’s Media Day, where Patrick O’Brien had this to say:
“Henry, the younger brother of KJ Henry at Clemson, has a chance to be a BIG name on the basketball scene. You can see that he has the early tools to make a name for himself as one of the premier prospects in NC for his class. Already fluid, skilled, and versatile, Henry brings a unique game to the court to go along with his strong physical frame. He is GOING to be a name you hear much more about.”
Jeff Bendel had this to say about Henry after his dominating performance at the Queen City, where he nearly over 30 points per game.
“Arguably one of the top young prospects in attendance, there should be legitimate excitement surrounding Henry and his abilities. While he’s already very polished and productive, he’s still only beginning to scratch the surface of his long-term upside. Henry can create for himself or others while applying efficient scoring pressure from all levels. He displays an excellent feel for the game on both ends of the floor, and will certainly be a prospect worth monitoring going forward. “
The pedigree is all there for this Henry and it seems that he is on track to be one of the premier talents in the class of 2025. So, you heard it here first… start marking his name down as a must-see rising talent in the state of North Carolina.
