LIVONIA, Mich. - - Head men’s basketball coach Chuck Henry announced the second member of his 2008 recruiting class on Tuesday with the signing of Kevin Henry to a letter of intent. Henry signed his letter on the campus of St. Francis de Sales in Toledo.

“We are very excited to sign a player of Kevin’s ability,” commented Henry following the signing. “He is a very athletic player who can play either of the guard spots and his height is a dimension that can only help us. Assistant coach Noel Emenhiser played a huge roll in recruiting Kevin and having someone like Noel on the staff will only help Kevin as he develops as a player.”

Henry (Toledo, Ohio), who is no relation to the MU coach, has spent the last three seasons on the varsity squad at St. Francis for coach Nick Lowe. As a senior, he earned first team all-city honors, second team all-district accolades and was selected to the All- Toledo Blade first team before being tabbed to the honorable mention all-state team. Henry also led the Knights in scoring and assists this season.

The 6-4 Henry – who is one of 14 children -  joins Southgate Anderson product Jon Jaciuk who signed with MU in April. The Crusaders return 11 players from last season’s squad that set the school record for wins with 19.
