New Spartan

Rivals, Scout and Yahoo Sports are reporting UNCG has received a committment for the 2010 class.

UNC-Greensboro has snatched up 6-foot-9, 200-pound power forward Cody Henegar of Jasper (Tenn.) Marion County High School.

According to his travel team coach Alex Waddy of the Nashville Celtics, Henegar chose UNC-Greensboro over offers from Tulane, MTSU, Richmond and Belmont.

- Cody has already been nominated for the 2010 McDonald's All-Amercian game.

- Scouthoops and Rivals have him listed as a 2-Star prospect. ESPN recruiting graded Cody at a 70 before his senior year.

- According to his AAU (Nashville Celtics) team's website, Cody's nickname is "Dirk".

- From his coach's Twitter page:
He loved the coaching staff and the schedule was very intriguing. Not many schools can offer playing Clemson, Duke, NC State and Va Tech.

- Here are discussions on Cody from Richmond and UT-Chattanooga forums.

"Henegar has the frame to put on some weight and muscle. He has a nice touch all the way to behind the 3 point line. He's able to block shots without fouling, that's probably not as easy as it sounds even though he's usually at least four or five inches taller than the opposing team's posts."

"Cody is a very skilled but finesse 6'9 Forward who shoots the ball well from outside and passes the ball well for his size. His game is face to the basket with more of a european style. I think any program with his size will benefit by having him in the fold."
