Regarding his age, on the flip side of the argument....who really cares if he's older? It's actually to MSU's advantage if he's any good. It would be like we're able to redshirt the kid for two full seasons before he begins his freshman eligibility. Imagine if Chris Allen or Durrell Summers were two years older than they are now but were still freshmen. All they would be is that much better and that more developed than they are currently.

The only downside is, if Henton is really good...then it might mean that he's more likely to leave early for the pros than he otherwise would (if he was the correct age for his grade). But if the kid has legit game, I think that's a risk well worth taking.
