About a week after announcing All-SEC center Damian Jones will return next season, Vanderbilt confirmed his backup will also be back for another year. Fifth-year senior Josh Henderson, a 6-foot-11 center, has been granted a sixth year with the Commodores by the NCAA due to medical hardship from injuries that severely limited two of his previous seasons.
Vanderbilt’s athletic communications office confirmed the NCAA’s ruling on Wednesday. Henderson will return for the 2015-16 season for his final year of eligibility, meaning Vanderbilt will bring back eight of its top nine players from one of the nation’s youngest rosters. Vanderbilt’s top 25 recruiting class features a pair of lauded big men in 6-11 Djery Baptiste and 6-9 Samir Sehic to add to a team that went 21-14 last season and advanced to the NIT quarterfinal.
