With a sixth year of basketball eligibility at UC Irvine, former St. Francis High guard Andre Henry has become so familiar with coach Russell Turner that both consider each other family.
Henry, who was injured last season after nine games, is back healthy, and Turner thinks he’s ready to be a standout on offense and defense this season.
He calls Henry one of the finest recruits he ever signed out of St. Francis in 2020. In 2023-24, he was the Big West Conference defensive player of the year.
“Andre was probably the top-ranked recruit we ever got,” said Turner, in his 16th season. “I watched him elevate his team at St. Francis and he’s still that type of personality. I’m thrilled where is right now and he’s going to have a great season on both sides of the ball. There’s not a limit he can accomplish.”

UC Irvine men’s basketball coach talks about how Andre Henry has become a standout on the court for the Anteaters.
Turner said he’s grateful for Henry’s loyalty and commitment to the UC Irvine basketball program.
“Andre has become family with me and my staff,” he said. “He’s made great sacrifices to remain in our program. I think he sees we’re committed to him and I certainly see how committed he and his family have been to us. Hopefully, we can write the end to a great story in his sixth year.”

Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana has agreed a loan move to Turkish side Trabzonspor.
The move has yet to be finalised but sources close to the player anticipate it being done in time for him to make his debut against Fenerbahce on Sunday 14 September.
Turkey’s transfer window is open until Friday, leaving time to get a deal completed for Onana, who is on international duty with Cameroon.
Onana had been linked with another Turkish club, Galatasaray, but they opted to sign Ugurcan Cakir.
Cakir, who started Turkey’s World Cup qualifying win over Georgia on Thursday, joined from Trabzonspor on 2 September in a deal that could eventually be worth 36m euros (£31.2m).
Trabzonspor have been assessing alternatives since that deal was completed and club sources believe Onana could have a major impact.
Although Old Trafford officials stressed the club were willing to have a senior squad including four goalkeepers, that was at odds with head coach Ruben Amorim’s stated desire to have a smaller squad in the absence of European football.
Tom Heaton is the fourth senior goalkeeper in the United ranks.
PETER Andre has said he isn’t perfect amid his ongoing fallout with ex wife Katie Price.
The 52-year-old addressed his ‘nice guy’ image in a new interview, admitting “everyone makes mistakes”.

The singer, who refused to speak directly about Katie for ‘legal reasons’, told The Telegraph: “’Well, look, nobody’s perfect. No-one’s perfect in this world. Everyone makes mistakes. But you get the measure of me by meeting me.
“You’ll either think I’m too talkative and annoying, or you’ll think, “he’s alright, he’s harmless.”
He added: “But over a period of time you build a picture of someone, it’s about consistency.”
His comments come just a few weeks after he publicly spoke out about his ex wife for the first time in 16 years.
Pete and Katie have been devoted parents to kids Junior, 20, and Princess, 18, since their split in 2009 but the former glamour model has taken every opportunity to slam her ex.
In her podcast, she claimed she had been frozen out of her daughter Princess‘s blossoming career, which includes glam photoshoots, brand deals, and a new ITV reality show titled The Princess Diaries.
Revealing plans to take legal action, Peter said: “Unfortunately, there are many more lies and baseless accusations that I have yet to address. Those will be dealt with in the coming months.”

Katie was not allowed to participate on the show, which she admitted her annoyance about on her podcast, The Katie Price Show.
Shortly afterwards, Peter broke his 16-year silence to speak out against his ex-wife, making public for the first time that the kids were court ordered to live with him since 2019.
And now, after 10 days that have “been a lot” for the star, she has spoken out about her mental health.
Katie has shared how her PTSD has been “triggered”, as well as her anxiety.
Getting candid in a new Instagram post she shared on Thursday night, Katie uploaded a video and caption.
In the video she explained how she was at the horses which she calls her “safe place” because of how relaxing she finds it.
She added how her mental health had been “triggered like you would not believe” over the past 10 days.
In the caption of the post, she elaborated further when she penned: “The past 10 days have been a lot, thank you to everyone who has messaged me.

“I have came to the horses for some me time as my anxiety, PTSD and mental health has been triggered a lot.”
She added how she was happy to have a visit planned to the Supreme CBD warehouse to top up on “oil and gummies” which have been “such a massive help”.
“If anyone out there is feeling similar to me right now, the anxiety, lack of sleep, PTSD then stay strong,” she added.
Reacting to her honest post, fans flocked to the comments to show their support for the former glamour model.
What is PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder)?
POST-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, is a mental health condition sparked by stressful, frightening or distressing events.
The NHS states that someone with PTSD “often relives the traumatic event through nightmares and flashbacks, and may experience feelings of isolation, irritability and guilt”.
Someone with PTSD may also have problems sleeping, “such as insomnia, and find concentrating difficult”.
The health provider states that symptoms are often “severe and persistent enough to have a significant impact on the person’s day-to-day life”.
Any stressful or frightenining event can cause PTSD with the following being some of the most common causes:
Serious road accidents
Violent personal assaults, such as sexual assault, mugging or robbery
“Everything is gonna be okay you are so loved,” said one person.
“Keep your chin up beautiful, keep working on yourself and being the best version of you that you can be and the world will shine on you,” penned a second.
A third wrote: “You have so much love and support. Keep doing what you’re doing.”
While a fourth said: “Stay positive.”
And a fifth added: “Never underestimate the pricey!”

FROM their sultry connection in the jungle to bitter legal feuds, Katie Price and Peter Andre’s fiery war of words has spanned 16 years.
And, as their recent explosive row has proved, it shows no signs of ending soon – but one person who has so far remained silent is their 20-year-old son Junior Andre.

While his 18-year-old sister Princess is currently taking centre stage with her ITVdocumentary, The Princess Diaries, Junior prefers to keep out of all drama.
According to a source, when it comes to his feuding parents, the aspiring singer is firmly on dad Peter’s side, and is “embarrassed” by former glamour model Katie.
A source told Fabulous: “Junior is on his dad’s side 100 per cent.
“He has no time for his mum as harsh as that sounds.
“She represents negativity and sadness in his life and he has been trying to move away from that and heal for a long time.
“He hates how his mum is a laughing stock and tries to disassociate himself as much as he can without starting World War 3.”
Junior’s Instagram page, where he boasts 555,000 followers, rarely features his reality star mum.
The glamour model, 47, who is currently dating Married at First Sight’s JJ Slater, 32, hardly features in any of his posts, unlike his dad, 52, and Princess, whom he regularly posts pics and videos with.
The insider added: “He posts a happy birthday message to her to keep up appearances and to not ruin her day but they don’t hang out much at all.
“As far as Junior is concerned, he’s his dad’s son.

“His dad has brought him up and raised him to be the man he is today – he knows he wouldn’t be anywhere today without his dad’s love and support.”
And insiders say that Emily has been “more of a conventional mum” to Junior over the years.
They added: “Junior wasn’t lacking anything and so he had no need to see Katie.”
Junior is said to have made the decision to avoid the notorious nine-bedroom Sussex pad – which has now been sold – as it was “so horrific.”
BOMBSHELL STATEMENT
The source claimed: “Junior hasn’t had much to do with his mum in recent years.
“He totally avoided visiting her at the Mucky Mansion. He didn’t want to live in squalor.
“It was constantly chaotic and the house was always full of people and this revolving door of men – and Katie’s dramas.”
After he left, they say Junior rarely went back to visit Katie and as she wasn’t welcome at Pete’s house “they didn’t see each other much” and now “he rarely visits her”, despite her moving out of the squalid home.
Junior was later joined by sister Princess, and it has been revealed the family courts issued a legally binding order for the living arrangement in 2019.
Peter then hit back at Katie’s claims, slamming her in a furious Instagram statement.
Peter wrote: “For sixteen years I have stayed silent in the face of repeated lies from my ex-wife and her family, out of respect for my children and loved ones, but staying silence has been incredibly frustrating.”
He continued: “That ends today.”

This outburst is said to be out of character for Peter, who allegedly “never bad mouths Katie in front of the children”.
However, Junior, who the source claims is an “exceptionally bright young man”, has “seen it all and come to his own conclusions”.
The insider claimed that Junior was “shocked” that Peter spoke out but “doesn’t blame him”.
However, they added: “He’s really sad to see his mum and dad’s feud playing out in public again.
“Obviously he’s read a lot about it over the years – he’s old enough to read Google.”
PRIVATE LIFE
While Katie famously courts the spotlight, and his sister is doing her new documentary, the 20-year-old is said to prefer a “quiet life at home with his girlfriend”.
Junior has been dating his girlfriend Jasmine Orr, 24, since last April, with their relationship going from strength-to-strength.

The couple have now opened up about a huge step they have taken together, while talking about the possibility of getting wed.
Revealing their huge milestone to OK! Magazine in a new interview, Junior explained how he and Jasmine, who previously appeared on Celebs Go Dating in 2023, now have a place of their own.
“Yes, we’ve moved into our own little flat together,” he told the magazine.
He then detailed their one-bedroom abode in Surrey, and spoke about how they are currently decorating it.
Junior then gushed about wanting to spend “every day” with his girlfriend and said that they felt “ready” for the next step.

Growing up, Junior is said to have “hated” being featured in Katie’s photoshoots and TV shows.
The insider added: “He was just a young boy finding his way in life and wanted to focus on his hobbies and friends.
“He grew up embarrassed of his mum and it’s hard to shake that.”
Pete paid for Princess and Junior to have a private school so they have had the very best education and they are incredibly bright.
The source added: “Junior has protected his energy and spirit and Pete is very proud – and relieved – that he hasn’t turned out to be anything like his mum.”

MOVING ON
In recent months he had been impressed by Katie making changes and was looking after herself.
However, the recent feud has left Junior with a “bad taste in his mouth”, according to the source.
They claimed: “Now, he feels more sorry for her.
“He’s sad about it all.
“He wants to get on with his life and explore his own path, but he feels like his mum is constantly in the background casting negativity over everything.
“He thinks she just needs to get over it [not being with his dad] and move on now so everyone can get on with their lives in peace.”
