Gardner-Webb's High School Scoring Phenom Turned Limited-Action Big Man
Corey Hensley, a 6-8 power forward/center from the Class of 2011, burst onto the scene as North Carolina's top high school scorer at 27.6 PPG and 12.3 RPG, earning District 12 Player of the Year honors with explosive outings like 43 points vs. North Buncombe. At Gardner-Webb, his college career (2013-14 stats: 1.8 PPG, 1.3 RPG, 49.6 FG% in limited minutes across nine games) showed bench depth potential but no breakout role. A raw athlete with size and scoring upside, he's a project big for teams needing developmental frontcourt intensity—though likely out of recent contention by 2026.
