Henson on Sanni ...
"Jaja is a playmaking guard who has really shown a good feel for the game. He's been a very productive player on the AAU circuit as well as the high school level. He's shown the ability to impact the game in a lot of different ways on both ends of the floor. He's a winner and we are excited to welcome him into the UTSA family."
