Flyers land another Michigan recruit
LaDontae Henton, a 6-foot-6 wing from Lansing, Mich., has made a verbal commitment to Dayton, filling out the two-player 2011 recruiting class.
Henton had more than a dozen scholarship offers and picked the Flyers over Penn State, Utah and others. He’s a three-time Michigan Class A (big school) all-state player and averaged 26.8 points and 15 rebounds per game last season for Lansing Eastern High School.
He joins 6-8 post player Percy Gibson of Detroit in the ‘11 class.

I like the length of the players that Brian Gregory is recruiting. That blends well with the speed the team.

Stay classy, Xavier fans. (And thanks for your infatuation with all things Dayton.)

I have to post things to get a rise out of Dayton fans. There is nothing better to do. I am that boring and have no friends.I am worried that Dayton will own X for several years and this is a hard to take. Well I will now go back into my dark bedroom and drink the rest of my Wild Irish Rose now. Go Xavier!

Thanks X-Man for the informative post. If not for the b-ball program that silly little school to the south would have no national exposure. Glad that your claim to fame is your b-ball program and oooohhh your prominence as a midwest graduate school.

X-Man is right…..Xavier owns UD. Period. End of Story. Xavier will again prosper and UD will look on with envy. Nothing will change except Xavier getting better and better.

Welcome “Buckets”. UD is very proud to call you a Flyer. Work hard this year and stay in shape as BG will be pushing you and your potential. The X factor will always be there but lately we have shown flashes of controlling this match up. Visit for the X game and see 14,000 cheering faithful rock UD to victory. The last two years X fans have left early with their tails dragging.

I really like this pickup, but Buckets is nowhere near 6-6; try more like 6-4. The big schools backed off him because he is too slow to play wing and too short to play the 4 at a major school. Still, I am pretty happy.

I’ll take a 6-4 “big” man over that can play over a 6-9 guy like K-stiff. You don’t need 6-9 big guys in the A-10. 6-4 guys are big enough. Go Flyers!

Here is a question for you, who is the bigger stiff; Kurt Huelsgirl or Matt Kavan-stiff?

With the new recruits this team is going to be fast and exciting. BG has done a great job recruiting. Too bad he had to give one to MK, but he had no choice. UD is all about the $$, and giving a bone to local big contributers is unfortunate.
