Adonys Henriquez’s re-valuation of himself is a reason why colleges programs from across the country and anywhere in between are pursuing him.

The 6-foot-6 combo guard has picked up offers from Butler, Creighton, Southern California, Minnesota, Clemson and Central Florida. Several other schools are headed to Orlando Christian within the next few days to make an evaluation on Henriquez.

All this attention comes after Henriquez de-committed from Miami.

“I wanted to pick the place for me,” he said. “I felt at Miami I was going to get my goals accomplished but I didn’t feel comfortable at all.”

Where Henriquez feels comfortable at the most is on the court. The New York native with Dominican roots is a shooter and a multi-dimensional player who feels his game resembles the likes of Joe Johnson and Paul Pierce. Henriquez knows he can stretch the floor with his jumper and bring a flow to a team that can cause defensive matchup problems.

The biggest thing Henriquez has done this travel season is look deep within him to focus. He admittedly stated that there were times the focus and attention to detail was not there during games.

“You really can’t check out (mentally) of a game,” Henriquez said. “I have worked on really being in tuned with the game. It has been getting better and now I am taking my time to see the game. If you don’t take plays off you don’t become uninterested.”

Henriquez was mature enough to see his own deficiency but it was something he knew needed to be done. His new approach to the game helped him this travel season as he managed to just stay attentive. Sure, production-wise it was not vintage Henriquez but it was satisfying considering the experiences he had at LeBron James and Kevin Durant Skills Academy along with a stop at NBA Top 100 camp.

“At those camps you have to play well because if not you will the odd man out,” Henriquez said.

While being at those camps, Henriquez benefitted being around players with similar backgrounds and family roots like his own. Brandone Francis, Karl Towns, Luis Montero and Angel Delgado. All are Dominicans either born on the small Caribbean island or with the family roots. Henriquez loved how they all can bring something different to the table as players.

Seeing these players at these elite camps only motivated Henriquez more in not only picking up something from their games but also understanding himself.

“We have this toughness,” he said. “When we are all in tuned we are one of the best the country. I was born here, so I had all the opportunities in the world but some of the others came from scratch and are grinding.

“Seeing them get to those camps and play well made me hungrier. Yon know where you came from and you know where you could be going back.”

Sometimes, when you make your own assessments they can leave you with a clear picture.
