Overview

• Shelton Henderson, a 6-foot-6 small forward ranked No. 30 nationally, has committed to Miami after being released from his Duke commitment on April 18.
• Henderson cited his relationship with new Miami head coach Jai Lucas, who previously recruited him to Duke, as a key factor in his decision.
• Henderson's addition marks the second top-50 recruit for Miami under Lucas, alongside former Villanova commit Dante Allen.
• Duke's loss of Henderson dropped its 2025 recruiting class from the No. 1 spot, elevating Houston to the top ranking nationally.
• Miami's recruiting efforts, including top recruits and transfers, signal an aggressive push to rebuild after a 6-24 season last year.
