West Virginia transfer Henderson chooses NC State

Terry Henderson didn’t have one specific reason to transfer to N.C. State. The former West Virginia basketball player had a whole list of them.

In no order, the Raleigh native said he was impressed with the success of the Wolfpack program under Mark Gottfried, the ability of transfer Ralston Turner to come in and contribute right away during the 2013-14 season, his fit in Gottfried’s offense and the chance to play close to home.

Henderson, a 6-foot-4 shooting guard, averaged 11.7 points for the Mountaineers as a sophomore last season. The Neuse Christian Academy product will have to sit out the 2014-15 season but will have two seasons of eligibility left.
