Henry Ellenson, the 6-foot-10 Rice Lake (WI) power forward, enjoyed his recent visit to Marquette, and they remain the overwhelming favorite to land him, according to sources and the 247Sports Crystal Ball, which has 77 percent of analysts picking the Golden Eagles.
““It was good,” Ellenson told Evan Daniels of Scout.com. “It was just nice to go down and visit campus. I’d been there before. But just go on my own and just talk to the coaches and see the blueprint they have for me. It was good.”
Wally Ellenson, a junior guard and Henry’s older brother, is on the Marquette roster after transferring from Minnesota.
“It helps,” Henry said. “It’s another bonus for sure. It’s nice because you get the insight he has. You get to hear what he has to say. If they are saying something you can see if it’s true. It’s really helpful.”
Ellenson has already visited Michigan State and will trip to Kentucky Oct. 17 for Big Blue Madness.
“I just like how [Kentucky] produces guys at the next level,” Henry said. “That’s something I want to do early. That’s what I like about them. That’s probably the biggest thing for sure.”
He plans to sign early, “but I don’t know when I’m going to sign.”
