I am hearing from multiple sources that Xavier Henry to Kentucky is likely. Now, to be sure, nothing is confirmed yet and if this situation has taught us anything, it is to wait until all the dust settles. But as of right now, things are looking pretty good.
Matt Scott, who works for The Shiver, said on Kentucky Ink: “I have been told by two very good sources that they are UK bound and that this has been in the works for some time now.” Apparently, Chris Fisher has been hearing the same. Couple that with what I have been hearing, and you’ve got yourself a lot a chatter saying Xavier to UK is looking like the likely ending to this saga.
Again, nothing official as of yet, but it sounds like everyone’s sources are in agreement that the Henry’s to UK is likely.
Update: Here’s a link to the Live Chat on Kentucky Ink. Wanna see if the big blue nation can bog it down??
Update the Dos by Fake Gimel: All KY Hoops dot com is smelling the same smell. You know what it smells like? Victory.

NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
June 30th, 2009 at 9:57 pm
Well remember a few days ago when Matt said that Calipari seemed to be hinting at more roster moves?? Bet this is why…
June 30th, 2009 at 9:58 pm
Somebody please pinch me!
June 30th, 2009 at 9:59 pm
He better go to class and not make a disgrace of his semester in school! 3-4 one and done’s will make for a championship tainted with lifelong controversy! Not sure this is the legacy I am looking for!
June 30th, 2009 at 10:00 pm
That’s the freaking icing on the cupcake baby…..
June 30th, 2009 at 10:00 pm
Someone on Cats Pause said there was a JayHawkSlant post that X was going to UK but CJ was staying at KU … but that post was taken down. Hmm …
June 30th, 2009 at 10:00 pm
OMG I JUS NUT!! THERES NUT EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!
June 30th, 2009 at 10:00 pm
Geeeeez Is Coach Cali A freakin “G” or what…..Man is on a mission
June 30th, 2009 at 10:01 pm
And remember last week the said big news for uk basketball was comeing this could be it.
June 30th, 2009 at 10:01 pm
Matt Scott is sketchy. Read that live blog and you will see. I’ll take his word along with Chris “Barton to UK” Fisher’s words with huge shakers full of salt.
June 30th, 2009 at 10:01 pm
I just read the same thing on Phog.Net and people on there are saying that if CJ ends up at Kansas, they will boo him off the floor during Midnight Madness…..
June 30th, 2009 at 10:02 pm
Sweetness.
June 30th, 2009 at 10:02 pm
Two thoughts: (1) it is simply amazing how much pull Cal has and how successful meshing UK and Cal has been so far…we could have an all-5 star lineup…Wall, Bledsoe, Henry, Cousins, Patterson. DAMN!! BUT (2) I wonder how Darius takes this, and it stands to reason that Henry might take his spot. Kind of have mixed feelings about this. But on its face, what an unreal turn of events.
June 30th, 2009 at 10:02 pm
#11, that’s exactly what I was thinking.
June 30th, 2009 at 10:03 pm
So, what was the “good news” for this week? Clarion or this??? God bless it feels sooooo good to be a member of the Big Blue Nation right about now! GO BIG BLUE!!!
June 30th, 2009 at 10:03 pm
If you say sources enough, the word starts to lose all meaning. Sources, sources, sources, soorces, sorces, sorses, sorsus, sosays, soses.
June 30th, 2009 at 10:03 pm
This is just amazing. The off season of the gods continues.
June 30th, 2009 at 10:04 pm
I went and saw CJ Leslie play in a Chavis League game here in Raleigh wearing a UK t-shirt. He came next to where I was standing and started stretching before his game. He looked up at me and said, “Hey man, I like that shirt!” I told him I was glad he liked it and that he would look good in it. We had a brief conversation and he told me that he was planning on visiting Kentucky “soon.”
The game was pretty chaotic, but his jumper looked really good and he had a ton of blocks.
June 30th, 2009 at 10:05 pm
Fisher over at KY Ink said earlier today that this Henry business was NOT the good news coming this week … said there is one more thing, still waiting …
June 30th, 2009 at 10:07 pm
Phog.net message board is saying that Xavier Henry will be at UK and on campus by this weekend….. Don’t know where they got this, but these people on Kansas Message boards are freaking pissssssseddddd
June 30th, 2009 at 10:07 pm
Just to give some props to Wildcat Nation Forum. They broke this a few days ago.
June 30th, 2009 at 10:07 pm
15) miller will fit perfectly at the 3 spot. That’s exactly where he would start if meeks had stayed and now that’s where he will start if x comes
June 30th, 2009 at 10:08 pm
If this comes through, I will take this as the good news anyway!
June 30th, 2009 at 10:09 pm
Its going to be good to be hated again. Really really good.
June 30th, 2009 at 10:10 pm
Well, here’s to another all-nighter waiting on a decision from Xavier Henry. Deja-vu, anyone?
June 30th, 2009 at 10:12 pm
Let’s see who we’ve got pissed at us:
Memphis (obvious reasons)
Kansas (soon to be obvious reasons)
UNC (will lose out big time in the all-time wins race that they would’ve likely taken over)
Loserville (because they are envious)
Any other college basketball team looking to recruit top-notch talent over the next decade!

I was here too lol.
June 30th, 2009 at 10:12 pm
The following is from Phog.Net about the situation at hand……
Say what you want: you want the Henry’s, you love the Henry’s, you hate the Henry’s…..whatever.
However, how are you feeling about it in your stomach. The whole situation makes me sick to my stomach, queezy, let down, and overall just empty. When I get past the angst that these guys have resurfaced as apparently undependable commits to KU (again), I have to admit —– it makes me feel pretty lousy.
Coach has put in a ton of effort, let players go, turned down Lance Stephenson, and the whole staff has bent over backwards for this guy……including letting bygones be after they crawled back in April.
Just makes me ……. Yucky.
June 30th, 2009 at 10:13 pm

June 30th, 2009 at 10:14 pm
What i was trying to say is that. last week on this website they said there was going to be big news about uk basketball this week and were X might sing with uk it could be the big news.
June 30th, 2009 at 10:14 pm
Oh, good call 32…their coach can’t even beat our women’s coach’s twitter followers
June 30th, 2009 at 10:15 pm
WOW!!!!!! 33
That guy is a very credible poster …
June 30th, 2009 at 10:15 pm
Hell yes 34…I knew X could ball…but he can sing too!!! This day keeps getting better and better
June 30th, 2009 at 10:16 pm

Hold on I just messed my pants.
June 30th, 2009 at 10:17 pm
33 are you serious?
June 30th, 2009 at 10:17 pm
Is CJ going to follow, or will he stay at KU? Hell, I’d rather he stay at KU, personally … we’ve got a LOADED logjam at PG already.
June 30th, 2009 at 10:19 pm
i want some of that good good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
June 30th, 2009 at 10:21 pm
41 the fact that you can call are problem at pg a logjam is amazing to think what we had last yr

If Carl & the boys were upset & wanted to leave because of what Brady wrote in the newspaper, all Self would have to have done is sent him the Heral Mis-Leader columns of Jerry Tipton. They haven’t seen negative news yet……
June 30th, 2009 at 10:24 pm
43 - trust me, I am well aware. I still shake my head at the thought of fighting non-stop over the Porter v. Liggins v. Galloway debates of ‘08-’09 compared to the Wall v. Bledsoe (do we start both?) debate of ‘09-’10. Laughable.
June 30th, 2009 at 10:25 pm
Comments made by Bill Self a little more than an hour ago:
Kansas University basketballl coach Bill Self today commented to the Journal-World on reports that Xavier Henry and C.J. Henry were having second thoughts about attending KU and still might attend Kentucky.
“I’m still looking into this,” Self said, acknowledging the Henry family was upset about a weekend story in the Kansas City Star that the Henrys felt portrayed the family in a negative light.
“I am ready for the finality of it (on where Henrys are going to school). I believe that will occur very soon,” Self added.
…
Self said the Henrys gave their word they were coming to KU and thus he is “past the point of being concerned with (their) recruiting. Either they are coming or not coming. There’s no reason for fans or people who support the university to be concerned. They gave us their word they are coming. If an article keeps them from coming, of course it’d be disappointing but it’s not anything I can control.”
June 30th, 2009 at 10:25 pm
46 - many people have alluded to the fact that the news story is the scapegoat in all of this. They just needed their “out” while waiting on Jodie.
June 30th, 2009 at 10:25 pm
I would take it as just one report right now. Everyone is saying that something will be confirmed very shortly.
Hang tight.
I don’t know how the twitter dude is above, but someone saying they “just got of the the phone and that Cal has been called” and shit sounded like something that could be repeated in the blog comments.
June 30th, 2009 at 10:26 pm
48 - I think I read that this afternoon, actually.
June 30th, 2009 at 10:27 pm
More reports of confirmation:
“Reports of Xavier Henry to Kentucky are trickling in”
http://www.straitpinkie.com/
June 30th, 2009 at 10:28 pm
45- I just did it again thanks
June 30th, 2009 at 10:29 pm
I don’t post on here much but I can talk about some insider knowledge I’ve had since Friday. I was told by someone who regularly has dinner and meetings with Cal that Carl Henry has been in contact with him for several days (more like weeks but couldn’t confirm). I also know that Carl Henry initiated these calls on behalf of his sons. I was asked not to post or tell anyone about this because no one thought it would be done until mid July. I guess now that the “Cats” are out of the bag it doesn’t matter on keeping “hush hush”. But there was no wrong doing of Cal. All phone calls were made by Carl Henry.
June 30th, 2009 at 10:32 pm
I cannot contain my excitement and am psyched! Is it October yet!?!
June 30th, 2009 at 10:34 pm
This team is either going to really really really friggin’ good OR trouble with a capital “T”
I have faith in Cal but wow, I mean, that’s a lot of talent to juggle.
June 30th, 2009 at 10:34 pm
This is just unfreakin believable if it is true, and though I am one that don’t count my rosters before they hatch, there sure is an aweful lot of smoke not to be a fire somewhere. Like I said earlier, the good thing is that this won’t drag out long. The word will come down soon. As for Darius, I don’t think this effects his role at all. Darius is a 3, not a two, Bledsoe is a 1 not a 2. This probably puts Bledsoe as the backup to Wall as he should be. Henry is a sweet stroker, and I love them leftys. Come on November.
June 30th, 2009 at 10:34 pm
on the live blog there sayin the henrys were inrolled in class which means they would be transfer players!! =[
June 30th, 2009 at 10:35 pm
We better WIN the championship. If not this year, I dont know when.
June 30th, 2009 at 10:35 pm
F’uc’k.
this is nuts, ya’ll.
We’re seriously going to be loaded like mother truckers next year, huh?
I don’t think any of us can imagine how exciting this is going to be after the last 5 years of hell.
I mean, if we’ll have 5 first round draft picks on the floor at any one time next year.
When does that every happen? And who the frig could beat us?
Jizz everywhere.
June 30th, 2009 at 10:35 pm
58 - classes didn’t start; doesn’t matter.
June 30th, 2009 at 10:35 pm
58 - Untrue. They never enrolled at KU.
June 30th, 2009 at 10:36 pm
#58-They did not enroll in classes yet. That was confirmed by their father on the radio today.
June 30th, 2009 at 10:37 pm
BREAKING NEWS : Xavier Henry was just diagnosed with “Verbal Dyslexia”, a rare genetic mutation of Dyslexia. “Verbal Dyslexia” causes individuals to get their letters backwards when speaking. When Xavier told his parents he wanted to sign with KU, he actually meant UK. The NCAA has been contacted & is hearing his appeal. We’lll keep you posted ….
June 30th, 2009 at 10:37 pm
62/3. thank you!
June 30th, 2009 at 10:37 pm
64 - Good one.

June 30th, 2009 at 10:38 pm
WTF!!!!!!!!!were stacked.this could be the best recruiting class ever
June 30th, 2009 at 10:38 pm
Over on Phog.net, they are saying that Andy Katz has picked up on the Henry situation and that Carl has informed him that Kentucky would ultimately be the destination for his sons, not just Xavier, but CJ as well
June 30th, 2009 at 10:39 pm
57 - are we counting ‘roosters’ or our loaded “roster” ? just sayin
58 - inrolled, seriously ? enrolled cuz.
June 30th, 2009 at 10:40 pm
This is insane!!!! If this isn’t the #1 ranked class of all time, then I’m not hung like a field mouse.
***** John Wall
***** DeMarcus Cousins
***** Eric Bledsoe
***** Xavier Henry
***** Daniel Orton
**** Jon Hood
**** Darnell Dodson
June 30th, 2009 at 10:43 pm
62, 63 : Better tell Carl they didn’t enroll :
From Bomani’s Part 2 link, last sentence quote from Carl….
“I think classes start somewhere around August 19th. I think we are heading up on like the 17th or so,” Henry said. “Both boys have been enrolled in classes,” added Henry.
June 30th, 2009 at 10:43 pm

June 30th, 2009 at 10:52 pm
A post over at Phog.net is titled ” KU gets CJ, UK gets Xavier” . I don’t have access to read the rest…..
June 30th, 2009 at 10:52 pm
Any word on whether the Henrys are going to follow them to Lexington?
June 30th, 2009 at 10:53 pm
77: My bad. He just slipped my mind. I guess he’s probably a three star so here’s the new look:
***** John Wall
***** Daniel Orton
***** DeMarcus Cousins
***** Eric Bledsoe
***** Xavier Henry
**** Jon Hood
**** Darnell Dodson
*** CJ Henry
Simply UNREAL!!!!
June 30th, 2009 at 10:53 pm
Carl and Barbara Henry are divorced, I believe

I could see this happening though cause no way CJ starts ahead of Wall & maybe not Bledsoe….

sg: Henry sg: hood
sf: miller sf: dodson

#6… im right there with you. i will enjoy it, it will be fun to watch next year but i dont really like this NBA factory image we now have. it could get old really quick.
June 30th, 2009 at 10:57 pm
I’m with ukbbfan. I like watching the kids stick around a while.
June 30th, 2009 at 10:59 pm
87 - The chance of winning a title never gets old to me.
June 30th, 2009 at 10:59 pm
Besides, this will change a little in a few years when college players will be required to stay 2 years instead of 1.
June 30th, 2009 at 11:00 pm
I like seeing us win Championships more.
June 30th, 2009 at 11:01 pm
I’m not a salesman so you can disagree all you want and you can also quote me on this…. If Calipari lands Henry then he is a cheater. No one is a good enough recruiter that a player just up and changes his mind late in the game under the same situation as the Henry’s. It’s impossible and within the next two years I GUARANTEE Calipari gets caught.
June 30th, 2009 at 11:01 pm
the great pat ford is saying that X could be bailing… Hes really going to have some good things to say about cal now..
June 30th, 2009 at 11:01 pm
88: No offense but 1998 was a long time ago and KENTUCKY basketball isn’t supposed to go that long without some type of banner, either a title or Final Four etc. Smith and Gillispie would give a scholarship to anyobody with two legs and a pecker (hint hint: Jared Carter, Dakotah Euton, Porter, Alleyne, Obrzut, Perry, Thomas, Sims, Adam Williams, Donald Williams, an 8th grader) etc. etc. etc. I’d MUCH rather see one and dones win some titles at UK opposed to watching Jared Carter and Dakotah Euton stay and play for four years. That’s just my personal opinion.
June 30th, 2009 at 11:01 pm
With the rotating cast of 1-and-done folks, it wouldn’t feel “right” no matter how many championships we won. But the NCAA would step in before it got out of hand.I don’t want to follow a pro team. I like the college ranks and watching a kid grow and have a sense of loyalty, belonging, and community. I ain’t just cheering for the shirt.
June 30th, 2009 at 11:02 pm

All I have to say, is Coach Cal had best be like Doc Rivers lite and deal with the egos right away. This many talented kids are bound to have some issues when they feel “disrespected” one way or another during the season.
Are there enough balls to go around for five or six potential NBA draftees next year?
I do hope that Xavier and CJ make a decision that they feel is best for them, but I don’t want UK to have another season of chaos.
We need shiny happy people next season all gunning for the same goal without egos getting in the way.
In Coach Cal I believe… for now

92: Are you nuts??? Xavier said himself that he wanted to pick UK but his mom influenced him to pick KU. Now he realizes that his friends (Wall and Cousins etc) are on UK’s campus and are about to destroy any and all competition and he simply wants to be part of that. Kids have the right to change their minds and Coach Cal hasn’t done anything to make anyone suspect him of “cheating.” Good gracious son, go to bed.
June 30th, 2009 at 11:04 pm
92 - I completely disagree with you. Nothing about this situation is wrong and he will not do anything to harm himself or the school.

I guess this mean orton and hood are leaving.
June 30th, 2009 at 11:05 pm
Zav-ee-ay went to KU because he thought Jodie would come back to school. Zav-ee-ay started leaning toward UK on June 15 when Jodie stayed in. That’s the deal here, if anyone says different it’s BS.
June 30th, 2009 at 11:06 pm
I am just as excited to see Jon Hood as any of the other freshmen.
June 30th, 2009 at 11:07 pm
make it official jonesy
June 30th, 2009 at 11:07 pm
I know none of these 2009 kids have played a single college minute but laugh all you want, I think this team (if we get Henry) is right there toe to toe with teh 1996 Cats. I think the 96′ Cats would beat the 09′ team but potential and talent wise, the 2009 team is neck and neck.

Just because a young man changes his mind and that young man’s dad calls Coach Calipari and inquires about a possible scholarship, now he’s a cheater….. Go back to Kansas Message Boards and talk your garbage

Evan Daniels is reporting the same thing:
“Thursday…it is. Press conference set for Henry.”

(I didn’t notice the link at first…so, yeah…I’m just relaying the feeds from all the recruiting reporters going on right now. Take it for the electrons it’s posted with. Just enough excitement that it’ll keep you up all night, right?)
June 30th, 2009 at 11:22 pm
Evan Daniels reports presser tomorrow…thats a MUCH MUCH better source
June 30th, 2009 at 11:22 pm
There are some serious numb-nuts on here tonight…Cal has done nothing wrong in assemblies this class, so nothing to get “caught” on. Next, I can’t help but laugh when I hear we’ll have too many NBA players on the roster. I don’t know about you buy I didn’t enjoy the NIT and having one player picked last Thursday and in the 2nd round at that
June 30th, 2009 at 11:25 pm
Why would Hood want to stay he wont get any miuntes.
June 30th, 2009 at 11:25 pm
Why would Hood want to stay he wont get any miuntes.
June 30th, 2009 at 11:26 pm
133 Hood wasn’t going to get that many minutes anyways. He is a 4 year player. That’s why he stays.
June 30th, 2009 at 11:26 pm
Pat Forde just reported a Thursday presser for X and CJ, too.
“espn4d: Press conference set for Henry Thursday.”
June 30th, 2009 at 11:27 pm
133 your joking right hood would not have gotten any minutes this year anyway.
June 30th, 2009 at 11:27 pm
133 - He’s a 4 year guy. Even without Henry he wasn’t playing much next year in the rotation. He knew that when he signed. And I have no idea where Orton came from.
June 30th, 2009 at 11:28 pm
Why Thursday?? How about tomorrow?
June 30th, 2009 at 11:28 pm
Hood stays because he’s a lifelong UK fan. Kentucky is his home.
June 30th, 2009 at 11:28 pm
why not wednesday morning? why thursday morning? its confusing. why not just come out and tell us
June 30th, 2009 at 11:30 pm
wheres link?
June 30th, 2009 at 11:30 pm
Why Thursday? Why not tonight or tomorrow??
June 30th, 2009 at 11:33 pm
Where’s Matt? Why is he not chiming in on this stuff?
June 30th, 2009 at 11:33 pm
I don’t know why Thursday…I’m just repeating Evan Daniels and Pat Forde on Twitter.
The link is their Twitter account.
June 30th, 2009 at 11:33 pm
143 - haha, yeah, let’s call a press conference at 11pm or midnight, depending on the time zone. Hell, UK fans would still attend/watch!
June 30th, 2009 at 11:38 pm
Whoever the hell Kent Taylor at Wave3 is (a KC TV guy) is also picking it up.
Looks like it’s pretty much a done deal (for a effen press conference that is).
But why he would have a presser to just silence rumors wouldn’t be right…
So one can expect it’s for X and CJ to come to UK.

I think it has something to do with CJ. I think CJ will go to Memphis in my opinion….
June 30th, 2009 at 11:40 pm
how many players will we have that could be in the nba if college was wasn;t in effect. wall, cousin, henry, and patterson?
June 30th, 2009 at 11:43 pm
no presser
http://twitter.com/EvanDanielscout/status/2415113328
June 30th, 2009 at 11:43 pm
Starters Bench
Wall Bledsoe
X Dodson
Miller Hood/Liggins
Pat Stevenson
Cousins Orton
And think about our 4 guard lineup to run the floor and press a lot… Wall, Bledsoe, X, Miller, Pat/Cousins!!!
I can’t wait for November!!!
June 30th, 2009 at 11:43 pm
Henry had his chance to be a WILDCAT! We are loaded now and there are not enough B-balls to go around if he comes.
June 30th, 2009 at 11:44 pm
BTW people saying that CJ and XAVIER would make it 8 recruits…..
CJ IS A TRANSFER which in my opinion (and officially in the NCAA) isnt a recruit at all.
so it would be
Wall*****
Henry*****
Cousins*****
Bledsoe*****
Orton*****
Dodson****
Hood****
THE SEVEN SAVIORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
June 30th, 2009 at 11:44 pm
looks like false alarm on the presser? Evan Daniels recanted via twitter
June 30th, 2009 at 11:45 pm
hahahahahahaha ok thats too funny that daniels fell for that one
thats why he said thursday
June 30th, 2009 at 11:46 pm
153- If we score 100 a game, then everyone will get theirs.
June 30th, 2009 at 11:46 pm
i wish the HENRY HATERS would just go to bed. your already grumpy. please wake up next march when we win it all and you will be much happier
June 30th, 2009 at 11:47 pm
wall, henry, patterson, cousin, and miller vs sacramento kings… Who would win the best of 7 series?
June 30th, 2009 at 11:48 pm
Until I see X at UK I am not going to believe anything. Look there is a lot of speculation right now everyone needs to just calm down. We have not heard a lot from X or CJ only their father. Who wouldn’t want to have a top 5 talent on their team but right now we are no where near getting the Henry’s. Cooler heads will prevail.
June 30th, 2009 at 11:49 pm

1 minute ago from mobile web
Well s***.
June 30th, 2009 at 11:51 pm
if you say we are no where near getting the henrys who is. the whole KU fanbase has turned on them and their family. there is no going back there. and we happen to be the team HE wanted in the first place. Im a year older than Henry, but still if my mom and father wanted me to go to a college that was so-so to stay close to home and keep the family together i couldnt turn her down
June 30th, 2009 at 11:53 pm
i hear nothing bout him
June 30th, 2009 at 11:54 pm
its nothing about college
June 30th, 2009 at 11:55 pm
If he stays I’m blaming the negative assholes on here tonight.
June 30th, 2009 at 11:56 pm
My above link came directly from 610’s account…
I don’t know if they have something or not…but if they don’t, they’ll be huge pieces’ of shit for making the claim.

I’m listening now, too.
June 30th, 2009 at 11:57 pm
Sounds to me like a situation where the kid speaks and no one respects it.
The mom, Bill Self, the dad… why don’t there adults let Xavier be a man.
Bill Self is going to use the “you gave your word” line. But Xavier’s word was swayed by his mom refusing to let Xavier go where he wanted to go. So it wasn’t really his word.
I don’t think UK has much to worry about if thsi kid does eventually end up here because it seems to me like that’s what he’s really wanted all along, to play for Cal.
June 30th, 2009 at 11:57 pm
I’m listening now as well. So far that lone tweet is the only sign of anything. I’m hoping some big mistake was made there.
July 1st, 2009 at 12:00 am
Has any1 heard anything
July 1st, 2009 at 12:00 am
Shit …
July 1st, 2009 at 12:02 am
they got it up on their website and everything now, folks it looks like all this hubub was fer nuthin. This recruiting class has had more premadonnas than any I can ever remember, i’m with cal, let’s get this season started.
July 1st, 2009 at 12:03 am
Well … look at us getting excited over nothing I guess.
Figures.

BREAKING NEWS: Xavier Henry will stay at KU
Up now at http://www.610sports.com/
July 1st, 2009 at 12:04 am
its true….he broke our hearts again….wow
July 1st, 2009 at 12:04 am
now we just look like morons…i hate my life
July 1st, 2009 at 12:05 am
How in the world could he go back to Kansas after it got out of the bag that he really wanted to be at UK?
There’s no way his teammates or coaches would rally behind him. He basically said he didn’t want to play with them.
The damage is done at this point. He should either head to UK or head to another school because he’s burnt his bridges with the KU players and fanbase.
July 1st, 2009 at 12:05 am
176 - Was just about to link it. Too bad.
July 1st, 2009 at 12:05 am
Now the mm fan’s can come out and bash this site and say that they were saying Henry was coming to UK
July 1st, 2009 at 12:05 am
if the kid wants to be a one and done, then uk nor kansas would be the best choice unless he can perform exceptionally. if he wants continuing press coverage and hype then UK would be his best choice. if he wants a national title then either uk or ku is a decent choice. i cant see what kansas can offer him that uk cant top. UK will have more press coverage, UK will have just as good of a shot at a national title, UK also has a spot for a SG and that is their only weak spot on the floor, so he would be an instant impact. Fans? handdown uk…UK averages more attendance than any NBA team ( http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/attendance )… no question go UK.. We want you
July 1st, 2009 at 12:05 am
Well, that’s it for me tonight. I simply cannot believe I went through this AGAIN with Henry. Fool me once … fool me twice … unreal. Oh well. I guess Self made one hell of a last-minute pitch … probably re-guaranteed him a starting spot or something.
Can’t wait to see how the Kansas fans retract what they said today, absolutely tearing the kid apart over this.
July 1st, 2009 at 12:05 am
I’ll say this, I don’t know how he’s going back to KU now. After all this broke and the entire KU fan base turned on him? That won’t be fun.
July 1st, 2009 at 12:06 am
fckn new it!!!!!!!!!!!! fck!!
July 1st, 2009 at 12:06 am
It’s all over the Kansas Message Boards that says he told 610 after the Kansas City Royals game that he was staying at Kansas… I have listened and did not hear anything like that, if he does, oh well, he does…
July 1st, 2009 at 12:06 am
Read my post, #20 if you’re getting down tonight guys.
July 1st, 2009 at 12:06 am
the whole KU fanbase is going crazy and is pissed at him
July 1st, 2009 at 12:06 am
Hes coming to UK.
In da bank.
July 1st, 2009 at 12:07 am
stop reading 610… seriously.
July 1st, 2009 at 12:07 am
how stupid do we look?
July 1st, 2009 at 12:08 am
179 — that’s what I’m screaming…
KU fans have hated him ever since he chose Memphis over KU…
and then when KU became a consolation prize once Cal jumped ship…KU fans still didn’t like X…
Henry Brothers,Come play for Cal!
July 1st, 2009 at 12:09 am
I heard Carl and Barbara were BOTH spotted in town looking at real estate today.
July 1st, 2009 at 12:09 am
Yup, UK fans walk away from this looking like fools once again. Every message board had about 25+ threads proclaiming an undefeated season, calling it confirmed that X to UK was done, etc. etc. … what I want to know is, who or what were the sources that allegedly pointed toward X coming to UK? This is a perfect example of situation where people need to own up …
July 1st, 2009 at 12:09 am
what do they see at KU
July 1st, 2009 at 12:09 am
im on 610 homepage but when i click on the link to listen to the interview i just get stuff from earlier today
i dunno, kinda sketchy….
July 1st, 2009 at 12:09 am
I’m ready to move back “Home.” Anyone hiring back in Lexington or NKY? I’m in the insurance industry…
July 1st, 2009 at 12:10 am
Fool me once, fool me twice, blah blah you know the rest.
What a downer. This is just like Jodie again. Every source minus maybe one was 99.9% certain it was Jodie back to UK for his senior year, then all of a sudden BOOM out out no where the bad news.
Built up all day all for nothing. Man, that just sucks.
July 1st, 2009 at 12:10 am
Guys we don’t look stupid at all. This is horrible for the team chemistry at Kansas. This is actually very good for us still.
July 1st, 2009 at 12:10 am
it doesnt look good now. it was wide open just a few minutes ago and now we are left hart broken
July 1st, 2009 at 12:10 am
I stated earlier today that Xavier could hurt(will hurt KU’s) the APR.
I thought that the one shot of getting him to UK (which I had mixed emotions about) would be his father wanting to promote his kid through maximum exposure. This would have been the first sign of the ESPN/SEC package paying off.
I really didn’t want him to come in and mess up the chemistry or bring that zoo to UK. That being said, once he started dropping 34 foot lefties like rain, I would have been on board.
Oh well, maybe next time.
Who the hell am I kidding? He will drop a story next week that he is coming to UK and we will all be right here soaking it up.
July 1st, 2009 at 12:10 am
Smiddy gotta luv da positive attitude. Sounds like if your bank keeps making guarantees like that though, the fed will have to bail them out

that does kinda hurt their team chemistry….but they have a solid core either way. plus they can rebuild b4 the season starts
July 1st, 2009 at 12:13 am
u cant ever trust a colleges fan site that is on the negative side as KU’s is right now

Perhaps it is a good thing. Kansas’s top talent doesn’t really want to be there, could cause some distention in their ranks this season.
