[QUOTE="EJ33, post: 1401526, member: 110999"] Good post. IIRC Henson simply didn't think Cardinal was good enough and he didn't want him riding the bench here. I suspect Henson thought he'd end up like Phil Kunz or Jeff Finke - guys from small town high schools that didn't pan out. We can debate some of the other guys on your list, but I think Van Vleet stings the most since Weber went to see him play and wasn't impressed. One would think he was ours if Weber offers right away. Ethan Happ stings too since he has said he was a big fan of the '04-'05 team, but I think Wisconsin snatched him before we even watched him play. [/QUOTE]
