JULY 2016 ■ 143 "He can also stretch defenses with his abil- ity to knock down shots on the perimeter." NCSU also will welcome the healthy return of fifth-year senior shooting guard Terry Henderson. The West Virginia trans- fer injured his ankle seven minutes into the season opener against William & Mary and missed the remainder of the campaign. The Raleigh native averaged 11.7 points per game and shot 37.6 percent from three- point land for WVU in 2013-14. "From my viewpoint, he's pretty close to 100 percent," Gottfried said. "He may say 90-95, but he's getting there. He is fully involved in every workout and does every activity." Johnson will help provide depth behind Smith, plus insurance in case Smith has any complications from his knee injury. Rivals.com ranked Johnson No. 40 overall in the class of 2017. Gottfried said Freeman had surgery May 18, and they took out his 16-inch metal rod, and replaced it with a thicker and stronger version in his shin. Rest is likely the best remedy for Freeman, and the recent roster additions will make him a likely redshirt candidate. He averaged 3.2 points and 5.0 rebounds in 19.4 minutes per game last year. "The surgery went well," Gottfried said. "I would anticipate him redshirting, unless something very unusual happens and he comes back quicker than we thought. He just needs time to fully heal, fully get him- self ready and then go through an offseason where he can actually work out every day and go to our skill development drills. He missed all of that last summer." ■ Fifth-year senior guard Terry Henderson is close to 100 percent after missing last season with an ankle injury that required surgery. He averaged 11.7 points per game as a sopho- more at West Virginia.
