EX-BASKETBALLER HEADED TO HAWKS​

FORMER basketballer Jaime Uhr-Henry will join Hawthorn's AFL list in 2025 as a Category B rookie.

The 21-year-old was a member of the Bulleen Boomers and the Dandenong Ranges in NBL One.

Uhr-Henry has spent some time training with Sam Mitchell's squad at Waverley Park in recent weeks and grew up as a Hawthorn supporter.

The 209cm is a project ruck who played some junior football for East Ringwood in the Eastern Football League, but focused predominantly on basketball.

Uhr-Henry hasn't played a game of football since under-17 level, but the Chirnside Park product was scouted by Hawks recruiting boss Mark McKenzie and becomes the latest former basketballer to land in the AFL.

If Mason Cox can come from a basketball background in a foreign country and not even know how to spell AFL, then JUH is as good a chance as anyone from a basketball background to make it.
 
Does the game still suit this kind of ruckman.
A very mobile big that gets amongst transition. Yes absolutely

It am guessing it will take at least 2 seasons to get any indication on the return of the Club’s investment

Corey Maynard didn't make it. But he was a footballer not a ruckman.
