Sickles' Amber Henson makes jump to ESPN's fourth best junior prospect

From the moment John and Amber Henson moved to Tampa from Texas, the argument began about which one would be the bigger college prospect.

John Henson, now a freshman at North Carolina, was ranked the No. 3 prospect in the nation last year.

And now Amber, a junior at Sickles, is ranked the No. 4 junior prospect in the nation in the most recent ESPNU HoopGurlz Class of 2011 Super 60, which was released Monday.

Amber Henson is also rated the top forward in the Class of 2011 by ESPNU.

She was previously ranked No. 6 by ESPNU.

As a sophomore, Amber Henson was named the Times Hillsborough County girls basketball player of the year. She averaged 19.2 points and 11.3 rebounds, 4.5 blocks, 2.5 assists and 2.4 steals.
