More on the dunking of Aneika Henry

Here's some spillover from the print edition on UF's newest dunker:

Coach Amanda Butler on Henry's soft-spoken nature:

"She doesn't like the center of attention. We would like for her to like the center of attention a little bit more than she does."

Butler on how she might utilize Henry's rare talent:

"To the degree that it makes sense, it will be something that we try to utilize game plan wise. She's someone who could play above the rim."

Junior guard Kim Critton on the ability of Henry's dunking to excite the crowd:

"Hopefully she'll bring it out at the season opener so we'll have more fans at the next game."

Strength training has been very important for Henry since she stepped on campus as she prepares to compete against Division-I and, later, SEC opponents.

Henry said she does work on her dunk when she can find the time in the practice gym.

The most well-known female dunker is Tennessee's Candace Parker.
