OHSSE Xavier Henry Basketball Highlights 2009 Recruit

[eafanboyssuck]

memphis really needs to be relocated.. and a new owner.

[elwin38]

@eafanboyssuck another owner perhaps, not relocating. in this economy and with a lockout/strike looming, NOBODYS going anywhere. think about it. after the last lockout(98-99 season), Vancouver won only 8 games, then they won 22 the next yr. in the last yr attendance dropped sharply, and the Canadian Dollar depreciated. thats when the owner decided to move. he lost between 30-40 million dollars. I'm from Memphis and i knew Vancouver was a GREAT b'ball city(and fans).

[GrindinSkater]

HE IS BETTER THAN JOHN WALL WHY CANT PEOPLE SEE THAT JOHN WALL ISNT TAHT GOOD AND PEOPLE LIKE EVAN TURNER AND XAVIER ARE BETTER.

[HailToTheVictor503]

@GrindinSkater good prediction

[armydelis]

john wall overrated

[biggelove09]

@MarjunaisMylife There is no comparison there. Henry is not athletic AT ALL and has absolutely no right hand. He is big as heck and strong though and he will have the money to pay for a coach to teach his body explosiveness.

[MarjunaisMylife]

have seen all the highlights and games and stats john wall xavier henry = no perimeter shot john wall looks more consistent and more athletic.

[Galastin]

ESPN has utah jazz picking up this guy next year. That would be sweet. Keep sucking Knicks!

[neeor10]

Wow! this guy is amazing. He's a good baller that has class! very hard to find nowadays. kinda reminds me of ray allen.

[marlonsanders42]

JOHN WALL IS BETTER

[Serene2012]

Future Chicago Bull!

[dolphinbuc]

Original memphis tiger signee,but Cal bailed and he went elsewhere.I know Memphis won't be as prominent as they once were,but I hope the entire nation sleeps on memphis cause i got the feeling they won't go away quietly.

[NeonWilderness08]

hahahaha girl towards the end "get that shit outta here!!"

[Gonzoroy]

Rock the Chalk, oh yea!

[KUbabe123]

well see KU has so many other freshman coming in that are amazing that it wont really matter if we lost...

[SCOMizzine]

lol, i went to school with him last year.

[austin137297529]

didnt henry and his bro already commit to kansas??

[TDWPOwns12]

yeee

[crayolaart]

yes

[Jmclovin141]

You know i think KU wants you just fine Xavier.

[kycats06]

Since KU fans don't seem to want you X, we love to have you at UK. I guess KU fans wouldn't mind you playing for UK since they don't want you at KU

[saburbanhomeboi]

UK wants you if KU does not fill the one hole perimeter shooting and show Kansas that you could have made a much bigger difference than they thought...

[Mcbainski]

have fun with your NCAA violations that follow cal at UK.....one word for your program....FAIL

[pumpy25]

really, what would those be? Umass and memphis were neither put on probation. Cal turned Camby in, and i'm pretty sure the NCAA clearinghouse cleared Rose so what coach woudn't want him. Cal wasn't named in either incident. Thanks for being concerned though

[jlpogi23]

why is henry family so tall?

[DeaNovo]

genetics or stilts, not sure

[Bross619951]

i say this guy play he was lazy on D

[saburbanhomeboi]

one more chance to get it right Wall, Meeks, Henry, cousins, Patterson thats an NBA starting 5...

[siksadlitlwrld]

Keep on dreaming

[bc22be]

uk is going to win it all

[saburbanhomeboi]

if KU makes the NC think his mommy will let him stay up that late on a school night?? doesn't matter cause better player Wall, Cousins and prolly Orton who would have been top 5 if he hadn't got hurt...will hang their banner

[skipke2020]

You forgot Aldrich and Collins. 2 upper class All American's vs bunch of frosh and career underachievers.

[frostjackMP]

NIT!... NIT!... NIT!

[fol2005]

Get some new material.

But hey, at least you don't sound bitter.

[Jayhawk3411]

Ku officially is the only contender for the national championship in 2010

[unclenut1023]

it's funny reading the older comments when he originally chose Memphis...keep yer trash talkin' Memphis, it's gonna be a long year(s).

[jayhawkoholic]

wow there is like no chance we ku WILL NOT win the championship next year with him, sherron, and cole

[josvizer]

hes brother CJ is walking on too play for the Jayhawks as well so watch out!

[Jayhawksz]

Xaiver Henry is WAY better than langford

[ssbc8533]

KU fan here, first video I saw of him since KU landed him, reminded me of Keith Langford. His moves are very similar. And we all know how he turned out. Sweet.

[theman200825]

think so.

[UsernameUnavaIiabI3]

This kid is a beast, he'll be a stud at kansas. With Collins, Aldridge, and now Henry, we'll be unstoppable.

[mrarod33]

Aldrich*

[itsovermane]

KU= 2010 National Champions

[Rckjyhwk1C]

Welcome to Kansas!! ROCK CHALK

[jkeenan3]

Kentucky more passion then KU...think not.

[crazyukfan]

Go to Kentucky Henry...we have more passion than anybody

[KansasFan2012]

HAHA good one

[bootalley]

clearly never been to allen field house

[buangkoni]

if he jst a shooter he wont be 1 and done.. i think jordan hamilton and tyler honeycutt will be better than him..

[cindyloucrim]

yall are stupid if u dont think he is a one and done

[BrandonD87]

he can be but i dunno if he is. he is a shooter and he said he will be in school as long as it takes him.

[KyplayaZ4lyfe]

yeah but they play the same position. Both of them want to start.

[KUfan887]

roger mornigstar offered to pay brady's way through school, so we could get both. after saying tht tho 1 or the other is what it looks like we'll get

[GoBigBlue2012]

KENTUCKY BOUND

[NewEraInTheBluegrass]

One and done means numbers, I hope you know that. Plus North Carolina plays more of an uptempo game than Kansas does. The only reason your in the running for him is because Cal went to Kentucky.

[Rockchalkjayhawk35]

and ur point is? the only reason ur in the running for him was beacause cal went to kentucky moron. lol, he was considering kansas and memphis. not kentucky. only reason he wld go to kentucky is bcus of cal, not because its kentucky. he might go to kansas because its KANSAS!!!!

[Rockchalkjayhawk35]

tell me what kind of hoodie henry is wearing? we are in the running because he likes kansas

[KUbeast4]

wow all u kentucky fans. First if u think how we play is bad and boring!! wow because our offence half the time is alleyops. And its no question. we want xavier not lance. Kentucky basketball is no good right now. And one and done!!! lmao!!! he will be like our 4th man. he wont go pro 1st year

[NewEraInTheBluegrass]

and the whole thing about him and orton getting along i think is fictional.

[BrandonD87]

CAL was at Memphis not at Kentucky when he got Second place. Kentucky is a top program.

[FreeRiboflavin]

I'm shakin' the dust of this crummy little town off my feet and I'm gonna see the world.

[KentuckyWildcat4lyfe]

Kansas will get stevenson and maybe orton. You only have one scholarship open. You guys play boring style of basketball Billy Clyde Ball.

[mitchellcorona]

Okay so you have apparently never watched a Kansas game in your life I guess. KU plays an extremely exciting style when they are good, watch the overtime of last year's championship game again. Enjoy your one-on-one playground style though. Sure, THAT lives up to the Kentucky standard. You idiots never should have chased off Billy G. Do you know what Calipari with a dream team gets you? Second place to the Jayhawks, that's what.

[RondoCeltics09]

first of all you neither can't spell kansas right. Second of all it took Kansas 20+years to win another championship. Billy G was an assistant under self and he ruined Kentucky. Henry would want to play with Cousins and potentially Wall at Kentucky.

[CodyBarger]

If he goes to kanas and plays alongside aldrich, collins, morningstar, and morris kanss will be a final for team once again. it would be ven better if kansas lands lance stephenson as well

[Rockchalkjayhawk35]

im pretty sure if he goes to kansas its beacuase he wants to go to knsas lol. u really shld think b 4 u open ur mouth. if he wants to go to an already contender, he will go to kansas, if he wants to go to a team that has been rebuilding for the past decade, he will go to kentucky. rofl, daddies boy. u need help

[ukwildcats92]

u mean if he wants to play for a real coach he'll go to kentucky

[mitchellcorona]

Haha I have bad news about your new coach. He doesn't coach. That's why all the one and done kids like him. You develop your own game. Bill Self is a way better coach then Cal, he turns 3 and 4 star players into NBA players. No chance Cal could turn someone like Darnell Jackson into an NBA player. Cal is a great recruiter but he doesn't make players better like Bill Self does.

[keepitreal777]

him and orton don't get along, if he comes to UK i would bet that orton goes else where. I wouldn't mind though because Cousins is better than Orton but I like Orton more. UK needs a great shooting guard to replace Jodie if Jodie goes pro.

[rileymartin]

If he goes to Kansas it's only because it was his dads choice and he's a daddies boy. If he's a real man of his own he'll go where he wants.

[ckDEEWEEZYck]

None of you know anything about your current program. You only have ONE scholarship reamaining, even after the 2 transfers. So pick your poison, Xavier or Lance.

[KyplayaZ4lyfe]

He is one of high schools best I hope Kentucky gets both of them

[Rampersaud87]

thsi guy isnt better then john wall for sure

[SixFootEightTao]

how is he the number 1 recruit? he is not even that great compare to favors and wall. all he did in the highlights is score over smaller defenders and shoot over little guards. not hating, just trying to get something straight. he is better than me but he shouldnt be the number 1 recruit.

[wonggongs]

i just watched him play in the nike hoop summit.. i can easily see how.. he missed 1 or 2 threes and was their go to guy and leading scoreer

[ckDEEWEEZYck]

He went 6-11 at three's. And Thats ALL he can do is shoot. He passed it away if he didn have the shot. Not the number 1 recruit. He can not defend wall, but wall can defend him. Wall is the #1 recruit BY FAR

[ups101]

no, he said he's going to test the nba waters because he didn't hire a agent, but if he goes he probably be a 50-60 pick, and for him that's not good enough, he wants to be a 10-20 pick and he's soon realize he needs to still work on things, so he's coming back

[ups101]

no he said he's going to test the nba waters you dibshit and from my view he's probably going to be a 50-60 pick, he wants around the 20's or 10's, and he'll realize that he still needs to work on things.... so yeah he's coming back

[12345tghyu]

dude is amazing

[Rockchalkjayhawk35]

you do realize that meeks is goin pro dont you?

[timmydabandit]

kansas is going to be sick. Xavier, maybe lance stephenson, sherron collins, and aldrich. thats your championship team right there.

[KyplayaZ4lyfe]

they won't get both Xavier and Lance. Lance will end up at St Johns but I hope he comes to Kentucky with potentially Wall and Cousins

[ckDEEWEEZYck]

Lance OR Xavier. Cant get both. Not enough scholarships. and Xavier is a pure shooter and one and done. He won't help you since he can get guarded so easily. He would be your third option.

[pumpy25]

hope he comes to Kentucky, but i think Kansas is gonna get him...Atleast UK got Cousins and maybe Wall. With Meeks and Patterson, and throw in Orton = over

[SnazzyiPhoneHacker]

nah hes's either going to kentucky or staying with memphis

[RepKan89]

memphis set up a package deal... pretty crappy

[ikankoroi]

hes already leaving memphis and said he wants to go to KU

[18inchcalves]

Oh no! He's gonna go to kansas next year and stephenson probably will too cuz he said he wants to go somewhere that will when a championship and none of the teams on his list but Kansas are gonna be contenders next year. Kansas will be too raw, look for us in Indianapolis

[wilkejags13]

he going to memphis for sur now

[tlmwg]

A lot like derrick rose

Glad he's gonna be a jayhawk

[KUbeast4]

guys no lance now hes in trouble, Bill self doesnt want him now because he owns a 200,000 dollar website which he couldntpay 4 dat, i say just gowith henry. Rock Chalk

[XxkillswitchXxx]

why does everyone hate Bill Self he is legit coach. Does anyone watch sportscenter or read the paper "COAC OF THE YEAR" i go to his clinic every year he knows whats goin on. If your for memphis then somethin wrong with you

[Zadiek85]

ok coach my ass. He is a great coach. Look what he did this year with ALL new starters. Most of which are freshman. BTW, he got the Coach of the year award..

[N8dg]

I think Stephonson's gonna end up in Maryland. But KU would be nasty with both guys....Bill Self is a SICK recruiter, ok coach/ SICK recruiter

[Dakid015]

very beasley-like game

[jgueary]

xaviers dad says hes gonna sign wit ku as soon as hes released from memphis......i hope we get lance too tho

[jhawk2817]

can we get lance stephenson also?

[nsmith3407]

in a report xavier's dad said that he wants to go to ku.

[uklover54]

dude he is going to ku more than likely but if he goes to uk that would be bad ass

[Justdoit000]

How?? Not going to NCAA tournament next year? UK is cancer.!!

[robusty69]

Xavier to KU..sorry to deflate your parade!!

[onwsoccer]

im thinking the same thing bro, he narrowed it down to memphis and ku so now that memphis is outa the question hes gonna be a hawk. i cant see him goin to uk

[Meezy53]

yeah i agree with you ukizballin4lyfe and orton is still coming so... UK will be top 5 team without a question if Coach Calipari comes which i believe the good news will come tomorrow

[robusty69]

sorry to ruin all your fantasies but xavier will be attending KU, i would put money on it!

[warsawky]

dont forget daniel orton is still going to uk

[Meezy53]

too bad they're all going to UK with Coach Calipari

[ukizballin4lyfe]

were gonna win it all next yr.

[HarryGobbleCock]

UK is gunna win it all next yr? focus on getting to the tournament first.

[fuzzzy777]

you obviously dont know basketball... their possibly getting the 1 3 and 5 ranked players next year if they get 1 or 2 they have a chance of at least getting to sweet 16.

[rmcdonald41]

Sorry man, im not hatin, but thats not going to happen

[Meezy53]

sorry to ruin your fun OjRudyGriffinKillin, but John Wall, Xavier Henry, and DeMarcus Cousins are all gonna follow Coach Calipari to UK. Only 1 committed is Xavier and he is able to get out of his letter of intent to follow Calipari.

Picture this line up for UK:

Pg-John Wall

Sg- Jodi Meeks

Sf- Xavier Henry

Pf- Patrick Patterson

C-Demarcus Cousins

[kriterial]

Wall is very up in the air. He was pretty much committed to Memphis. But things shook up with the Calipari move. Also he had a very productive meeting with Coach K. I'd say those 2 schools are about neck and neck roght now.

[nsmith3407]

all memphis recruits could transfer if calipari goes to ketucky!

[magic3383]

Picture this lineup for the Kentucky Wildcats...

PG- John Wall

SG- Jodie Meeks

SF- Xavier Henry

PF- Patrick Patterson

C- Demarcus Cousins

[OjRudyGriffinKillin]

Picture this lineup for memphis tigers.

Pg-John Wall

Sg-Tyreke Evans

Sf-Xavier Henry

Pf-Shawn Taggart

C-Demarcus cousins

[ImShives]

evans is leaving

[fasterthenyou39]

Xavier and DeMarcus might be goin to UK cause of calipari going there!

[TheDJGJ]

i saw him play in the state champ game last weekend, he is the real deal! he can shoot on anybody

[darryl1914]

He Aiight!!!

[JoshVannX]

to be number 1 in the country

[kaynam24]

so u saying hes good cuz hes da next rose? waste of a pick then jalen was nothing special

[lbcp15]

real nice finsihes

[itsjizzybabe]

he makes it looks easy...

[SouthSizzle20]

Im with dcb. he's just bigger than everybody. gonna have to wait and see what he does in college

[jktjmp]

Memphis awaits, Henry

[lakerssskb8]

He doesn't look polished enough to really have huge impact his freshman year of college.

[Bossrah]

Neither did Rose, players like Rose and Henry were not polished going in but the were physical freaks and that helps in a huge way also

[michoezike]

rose looked alot more polished than this kid

[Raydjam21]

This kid is nasty; he is going to terrorize college basketball next year.

[soonerfaninokc]

lmao, are you serious? his head is way to big, and if you watch his aau videos, he is not that special. He is not a leader, and is only ranked so high because of his dad and brother.

[brandenp101]

you dont have to be special or a leader to be good. your just mad because he is good and you cant even touch net. you dont have to be a leader to be good (tyreke evans) and you dont have to be special in order to be good.

[Raydjam21]

There is a reason that this guy is ranked the #1 player in the country by the ESPN, wow!

[dcb592]

fam looks like he can hoop, but hes just a bigger guard than anyone in high school. ill wait til he gets in college.

[Kazouwa]

welcome to memphis

[buangkoni]

watch will coleman.. the future memphis tiger. the guy can jump ryt out of a building..

[UglyMuggFilms]

sorry kansas but hes coming to memphis.

[jo7ck]

damn every good player go to memphis..

[ayomon]

kenny boynton is better

[buangkoni]

is he as xplosive as john wall? or he is just basically a jumpshooter? i knw dey play different position but do the math..

[Jim62787]

What does being as quick as John Wall have to do with anything? btw, John wall is looking into Memphis just as much as kansas.... and Bossrah, have you ever watched Rose? This kid shoots a much higher percentage than rose.

[ariesvids]

He looks like he can handle, create and is a sweet ass shooter. OK, if he's merely as good as James Harden Memphis is going to be very happy.

[btblair09]

kinda similar to D-wade the way he finishes around the basket. Going to see him this week in dallas. he is playing against daniel orton (kentucky) so it shoudl be fun

[natemup]

i could take this kid

[erick1rt]

not very impressive, those first 2 shots were some of the ugliest ive ever seen god only knows how they went in. if he tried those on the college or nba level they would have been some of the biggest swats ever.. also look who he was playing against.. looked like a hs freshman under 5'9..

[playably]

lol at KU fans

[Phili5]

He plays like Joe Crawford

[super34Trooper12]

shouldve gone to kansas

[phas3d]

It doesnt matter what you guys see in Henry. It matters what recruiters and coaches saw. Welcome to Memphis, Henry!!!

[chiladin]

Personally I don't see anything special about this kid.I'm not hating but in this highlight I see things that I see all the time at the rec center by dudes that are tall and can dribble and dunk.Big deal.

[casplash4]

but the talent he is playing against is higher

[deanw0rmer]

Memphis basketball is here to stay haters. Dont hate appreciate

[smthunder12]

all you memphis fans, i think he will be another derrick rose, which sucks because one and done players pretty much screw over the colleges they choose

[AjayBaskauskas]

he's not as quick and only has half the hops of rose. I'd like to see a better highlight cus those awkward shots he's shooting in this one are gonna get swatted in the next level

[Bossrah]

werd

[jktjmp]

Once you become as good as him, let me know

[c3ltics333]

go tigers

[skc2323]

next lebron?

[smthunder12]

really? no way he is definitely not nearly as big as lebron was, nor as talented

[Bossrah]

werd

[Bossrah]

next Lebron??? that was a pretty brave statement, he is not even the next Rose no way in hell is he the next Lebron

[dubasher]

kid's game looks nice.

[USmatt4]

go tigers go!

[Taydizzle22]

Let's GOOOOOO MEMPHIS!!!! WHOOOO

[dferg95]

Tigers all day!!!!

[tcoletta724]

T..I..G..E..R..S.. TIGERS!!!

[mjrose07]

MEmphis Tigers Baby!!!!

[badboyinjordanz]

COMING TO MEMPHIS!!!!

[mdgrant99]

go memphis xavier signs with memphis

[allirish1488]

Henry is committing tomorrow morning on espn live

[KUFanatic93]

Watch ESPNU next Friday night to see him put on the Jayhawk hat! ROCK CHALK!

[siksadlitlwrld]

i sure hope so man....if we lock up henry and the the rest of our 4 and 5 star recruits...they might as well send us the title in the mail lol go ku 4 ever

[MrBurnz001]

This guy would fit in at Memphis perfectly!!

[SwaggerBoi112]

it dont matter where he going yall just need 2 reccognize where he came from OK

[ImpactHoopster2423]

Acrobatic as hell...

As small as some of those guys are you could drive to rack and Slam it every single time..!

Hes gonna be great though!

[KUFanatic93]

Recent buzz has X at the home of the 2008 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS... KANSAS!

[mdgrant99]

you might be right KUFanatic93, but people are afraid that memphis will be here to stay.... to all the non believers - THERES A NEW POWERHOUSE IN COLLEGE BASKETBALL T--I--G--E--R--S GGGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOO TIGERS. WATCH WHAT I SAY

[Taydizzle22]

that's pretty funny....but if you wanna be a good freethrow shooter you work on it regardless of if the coach makes you so if he wants to be better he'll do it for himself. The fact that we made it that far without being "good" at freethrows should serve as a slap in a face to anyone who does practice freethrows for hours

[begley9]

I'm pretty sure that's a HUGE reason Memphis lost the national championship haha. Just saying.. He should go to KU BABY!! Rock Chalk Championship.

[bglover11]

sorry memphis fans, Henry decided he actually wants to be a GOOD free throw shooter. so lets all welcome him to ku.

[felonious83]

X will look fantastic as a Memphis Tiger, baby.  2010 National Champs!

Just thinking about ovation CDR got last night, I can already hear next year's rendition: Zah-Vee-Ay!

[theman200825]

i think not

[theman200825]

kentucky bound
