Cell Block News and Notes: Henne Struggles and Recruiting Updates



  • Chad Henne struggled in day 4 of The Dolphins mini camp (after 3 good days) mostly due to mental overload trying to learn a brand new 150 page play book in 4 days. At times he was over throwing his WR's and forgetting the snap count. "It's tough as a quarterback; you have to know what everybody is doing, know your checks, where your progressions are, your footwork," Henne said. "Once I get back here again I'll feel more comfortable and do better." "We threw a lot at [Henne]," coach Tony Sparano said. "We wanted to see exactly how much sticks. He might've struggled just a little bit, but I thought he threw the ball pretty well at times."

  • Recruiting Update: Michigan last week offered ATH Davis Sims (6-0, 208) and WR Alshon Jeffrey (6-3, 217) of Calhoun County. Both also have offers from USC, Alabama, North Carolina, Tennessee and N.C. State. Sims' other offers are Georgia Tech, Wake Forest and Colorado. The other offers for Jeffrey are Kentucky, Southern Cal, Florida and Florida State. Coaches from USC, Florida State, North Carolina, Michigan and Virginia visited last week.
