liljc Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 I can't find any mention anywhere about Henderson making a verbal to Akron. Rivals nor Scout.com mentions it. I hope you're right, but where does your info. come from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
