This guy has to be harder. You would think that with his ability to shoot and spread the court, his ballhandling to bring the ball up the court to take pressure off the point guard, and being a naturally big bodied defender, he would have been in conversation for rookie of the year. The Grizz are still in search of a shooter until this guy can quickly show he is that man.
His game reminds me of Calbert Cheany (IU). The one major difference is his build. His body is definitely NBA ready. However, he doesn't look that quick nor does he have great handles yet.
@ThaRighteous1 i agree. i watched him play a couple times in high school and ive always been a huge ku fan... ive never really seen him drive much, just shoot threes. but either way hes an amazing talent and he should be real good in the nba. still a ways off from lebron though
I see alot of comments about how much leadership you guys have coming back, but besides Collins( who doesn't do well against bigger guards) you have no real vocal leadership. Aldrich is a great big man, but he is not very vocal..imo
He's big and physical, plus that's a nice silky jumper there, he's probably one and done (if it weren't for the damn age limit he'd go straight to the NBA). He looks like a scoring 2 guard. I'm excited more about him than other player in the 09 draft class.
I'd like to say that a lot of us KU ppl couldn't have cared less if we had lost Henry. The fact is that we were considered serious contenders for the title next year BEFORE all the talk about Henry coming to KU. Not saying I don't want him at KU, I'm delighted he's going, but it wouldn't mean we would suck if he didn't go. We may not have as many 5 star recruits, but we do have everybody back from last year and I'll take that over a couple of one-and-done's. This is just me talking though.
You may have all those recruits, but KU has the leadership needed to win in tight situations. I'm not saying Kentucky will suck this year. (On the contrary, I think that they have a serious chance of going all the way.) But KU has everybody back with the addition of the few recruits so I'm also expecting them to go far. Many games have shown that you can have all that talent, but its useless if you don't know what to do in tight situations.
you know whats funny, all the kansas fans got 2 5stars and there flippin, you realize we have double that, and coach call, kansas is a little jealous me thinks.
Yeah and when coaching comes in thats when kansas wins. coach cal lost the game for memphis in the championship. kansas and self without xavier would still kick coach cal and whatever team he has. watch the memphis and ku championship game or the last 5 mins and tell us ku fans if your still excited about coach cal
Can you hear that?.ROOOOOCK CHAAALK JAY- HAWK KAAAAAY-YOOOOMan this year is going to be exciting..You know, if we cut our team in half and had two different teams (because we obviously can with all our talent and leadership this year) it would do two things
1. let UK off the hook so they won't have to go to that (I say this next word with the greatest love towards those Bubba's down in Frankfort) Dag Gum nc2a ternament and give them time to find a new coach. 2. more play for our players.
It's funny going on the different message boards and reading different comments all over youtube/Henry videos, of KU fans crying and throwing a little whinny fit
There was an article written about this kid in the KC Star that ripped all over him and some idiot fans got all mad about it and ripped all over him too. Real KU fans still want this kid to play for KU, but some morons can't keep their mouths shut. He'll probably end up at UK and we'll be one 3-guard short of a National Title team.
if uk gets him preseason num 1 for sure. but youknow people will trash us and say we paidhim, hey we all new that once meeks left it was a strong possibility that henry would reconsider, i just didnt think it was true,
UK has ONE scholly open right now. CJ can walk on and have his tuition paid by The Yankees. This isn't a coincidence, and after hearing KU fans absolutely rip the Henry's all day on local radio, I wouldn't be surprised if X verbally committed tonight. Either way its a win-win for UK and I love it. C'mon X, we would love to have you in UK Blue!!!
hey uk has 2 open schollies right now, you think cal did it for a reason, come to uk xavier we could always use that top shooting guard to take over for meeks
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...
Xavier you got another chance to get things right to not only play with the greatest recruits ever but possibly the greatest team ever even if meeks come back you should if he does not no brainer
The greatest team EVER? The greatest team ever, according to you, is preseason ranked #7. Kansas is preseason #1. Heavily. "Overwhelming favorite to win the title."- Andy Katz
I will bet you 1 million dollars Henry goes to KU. I'm serious. 1 million dollars. Are you in?
Just sayin, I have sources that I know -meaning more than one that have confirmed talk by Xavier Henry not being happy w/ his decision to go to KU and is upset by the fact he did what his mom wanted and maybe not what he wanted. He is only VERBALLY committed to KU, They arent saying anything definite but the possibility of him once again decommitting and coming to UK is a good chance since Meeks is considered now doubtful to return to UK...this becomes a vacated area, perfect for him to fit into
ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK. Talent + experience beats raw talent alone. And john wall hasn't even played one second of college basketball yet. Collins and Aldrich will be the best inside-outside duo in the nation next year, plus we have the BEST COACH IN THE COUNTRY, bill self, and xavier and c.j. henry. Plus our bench next year could probably be a starting lineup. Kentucky fans, that smacktalk is gonna backfire on you. Oh and success starts at the free throw line. Just a reminder :]
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
if KU makes it to the NC will xaviers mommy let him stay up that late on a school night doesn't matter BC Wall, cousins you know better players who made their own choices will win the title....
like paul pierce this kid it dumb paul may not dunk on ppl but he is one of the bet player in the nba you dont gotta be exlposive to win championships and that's what xavier henry is gonna do at KU go jawhawks
i hate pleyers like this boring.... not exlposive very slow like paul pierce it just pisses me off i want to see people getting posterized not slow pokes like this its just so boring be like derrick rose or lebron james whom both are quick even kevin durant who is 6'10 this dude a bust gurantee
OK so don't be like Paul Pierce, NBA champion and future hall of famer. Be like Derrick Rose, loser to KU.
Whatever Arizona fan. The big 5 are talking here, go back to your B-list chats with the likes of Louisville and Utah and leave the championship discussions to the relevant teams, KU, UK, UCLA, NC and Duke.
hes a good shooter.. big bodied. but he is slow as hell.. hes going to be a bust... mark my word!!!!! elijah johnson will have a better career than him...
We have a CHANCE to play Memphis. We're in some tournament with them, so if we win our game and Memphis wins their game, than we end up playing each other.
We have a good team next year but our schedule is already looking tough. AT Temple, AT Tennessee and AT UCLA
TARdmgHEEL... are you kidding me? The scouting report on Wall is that his outside shot needs improvement... Wall may be good, but not because he's a pure shooter. Oh, and Wall is ranked behind Henry in alot of the recruiting rags.
He's such a good shooter...BUT if you haven't seen John Wall, you haven't seen anything. Props to Griffin and Rubio and whomever else, I think Wall would be the #1 pick if he was in this draft.
Hes coming to Kansas, why would he go to kentucky? His parents went here and it is has the most tradition out of any school in the country. I respect Kentucky for all their amazing accomplishments but their program will not be good for a couple more years, Calipari will get it back though.
He's not visiting Kentucky. Henry said he's going to be making his decision this week and that a visit to Kentucky wasn't necessary.
Even as a KU fan, I don't know if that means he's going to UK or KU. I don't think any kid would go to a school he's never been too. But this is a one and done guy so maybe it doesn't matter to him.
no Kansas has 3 national titles. Kentucky has 7. If you say Kansas has 5 then Kentucky has 9 because that would be the truth. Helms titles were titles among who won the most games.
Incorrect. Helms titles were voted on by members of the Helms Athletic Foundation. They actually voted on a champion until the early '80's. They are also listed in the official NCAA record books.
he wants to come to kansas, they just trying to nullify the letter of intent he signed with memphis... why would he even want to go to kentucky ? just casue calipari is money hungry and sold out memphis, does not mean he will follow..
he has a letter of transfer if calipari bolted, which he did... he has never even visited kentucky, but he has visited kansas, what does that tell u ? look 4 henry to be in a jaywaks uniform this fall... sorry kentucky, he does not want to play for you
ok lets stop this madness now, this guy wants to come to kansas, they are trying to work out him geting out that signed letter of intent he signed with memphis, when calipari ditched memohis 4 all that money (
where the honor calipari? huh, tell me that- memphis said they would match the money, but calipari bolted anyway..... this guy will be at kansas playing along side collins. u watch n see
YOU gon see preseason fav. when kentucky gets Xavier A.K.A. X-man,john wall,jodie meeks,darius miller,patrick patterson,demarcus cousins daniel orton and etc. kentucky is goin ta have depth and there gonna go postal
I think Kentucky would be a perfect fit. Calipari knows how to prepare players for the pros and Henry would be joining one of the most powerful front lines in the country, and a fan base that is unmatched anywhere. It would be a good fit, but I wish you the best wherever you go! You are a fine basketball player!
KU wasn't nothing until 1 year ago when self finally won kansas a championsip. It took him since the 80s to get Kansas back. Kentucky has 4 more championships than them, more wins, better percentage, more coaches with titles, more nba players
umm, ku has more nba players. better nba players all time history, maybe ku doesnt have as many wins, or champ, but ku invented basketball, oo and ku was good more than a year ago. remember when roy williams took them to an ncaa championship, and ku has been in the sweet 16 or better every year for the past 4 years. get ur story straight. oo and ku has the best nba player on record besides kareem abdul jabar in WILT CHAMBERLAIN!!!!!!!!
i cant beleive anybody would say that they have more history than kansas basketball. Wow u should be at your knees thanking for makin the game!!!! if we didnt make it u wouldnt be talkin. Carolina isnt special at all. Kentucky used to be somtin but now is terrible
henry is smooth as silk if him and wall comes to uk and if meeks descides to come back for his senior year and our big guys patterson and orton stay healthy we would be final four contenders next season GO BIG BLUE
well with a new coach we won't lose anything. plus we still will have a better winning percentage more titles and more conference titles. You know little about college basketball don't you
this kid isn't going to kansas. He's had his whole life the think about going to kansas. He will take his sweet time and take a visit to kentucky where he will almost certainly go. Poor lance stephenson should be pissed that he has to wait for this kid to make up his mind.
if your a kansas fan you got one championship in this decade. if your a duke fan you weren't even a program until the 90s. if your carolina, carolina has a case with all time program. you say we haven't had tradition since 60 years ago you are stupid. We have won attendance titles year in and year out and went to 3 championships 96-98.
im sorry, but kentucky has no idea what basketball is about. y dont u go smoke some more blue grass and leave basketball up to where its set in root!!! ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK 4 LIFE
kansas -- coach of the year-bill self, preseason #1, and uh, kentucky is a nobody nowadays. who cares if jodie meeks and whoever his name is were "numbering one scorers." you lost in the NIT to a team that was on a seven game losing streak during the season.
if you idiots didn't know anything kentucky has number one attendance. number 2 in championships. number one in wins. number one in conf. tourny wins. number one in percentage. 4 or 5 more titles than Kansas.....
That was last year under Bill Self's assistant which was his fault mainly. Kansas has only won two or three titles. I wonder who has better fans ones who break attendance records or your team
wow, bigger stage? BIGGER STAGE??????? are u crazy? Kansas is where bastketball was invented, they are a pre season number one, and they are undefeated at home for the pst 2 years. cole aldrich, and sherron are already better than anybody uk could even get straight out of high school, so tell me how is UK, which has been the bucket of the ncaa the past 10 years is a bigger stage?
your soooo stupid lol. im pretty sure xavier puts a pretty big amount of thought about the fact that kansas was the place where basketball was invented into his decision. kentucky is still alltime wins leader, lets not forget. uk went to the elite 8 not to long ago. and jodie meeks and patrick patterson were the highest scoring 1-2 punch in the ncaa this year. kentucky will be the biggest stage in the country if he or even john wall goes, uk will start 5 future pros and be in a NC running
yea, ur right ur team was good in the past. can u beat kansas now? o btw, we have 5 nat titles, and have been to the champ game more than u have, and kansas is where basketball originated from...... so dont tell me we arent the most prestigious, and most historical school when it comes to basketball.
he will be at kentucky i almost guarantee it..Meeks SUPPOSEDLY is declaring for the draft cuz he wants but Calipari is VERY SMART. check this out....meeks and calipari have meeting....he tells meeks to put his name out for the draft as a bait...xavier sees the opening....uh oh instant playing time.....he commits to UK, what? meeks returning. GOTCHA haha, Cousins, Henry and the fact Wall's dad said he would not be thinking logically to go away from calipari due to his great NBA grooming ability.
yeah that all sounds great except for the fact that the only reason henry choose memphis over kansas(where his mon and dad played) was because his brother walked on at memphis after signed a baseball contract not because of coach calipari.
now that his brother is free its only logical that both his brother and him play at their parents alma matter
Kentucky is still in the mix for sure. I heard Kansas a few days ago but he has`t made up his mind yet. I mean he already committed to Calipari before, so i don`t see any reason he won`t follow. Cousins just made it official, and Wall might do the same. The only thing that has changed is the fact that he will be on a bigger stage at Kentucky. If anything the situation has improved.
Bigger stage? You mean the SEC? For a school who lost in the NIT?
Or the preseason #1, longest home winning streak in the nation Kansas Jayhawks? Henry's dad said he wants to go to Kansas. Besides Self is a better coach than Calapari.
The jayhawks have made a huge mistake. Xavier Henry will go to kentucky and Lance will be pissed that KU wanted Xavier more. Lance will go to Maryland or St. Johns.
i think hes gonna be a jayhawk. at least i hope he will be... his last two schools were memphis and kansas, now that calipari is gone i think hes gonna come to kansas so he can experience a national champ.
don't forget... he said last night after the all-american game that he will visit kentucky and kansas and then will decide after his two visits are done
None of you know what Xavier Henry is doing. None. You know who might know where Xavier Henry is going to play next year? Xavier Henry. Keep the ignorant assumptions rollin'.
Hey guys, lets keep a tally of how many ignorant and arrogant kentucky fans say that all of memphis' recruits are coming to uk. If that were true, wouldn't orton and hood go with gillispie, of course not, right? Uk is the center of the universe and will get every recruit in the world. As long as they got enough money to pay wall, henry, cousins, etc.....sadly they do.
This guy has to be harder. You would think that with his ability to shoot and spread the court, his ballhandling to bring the ball up the court to take pressure off the point guard, and being a naturally big bodied defender, he would have been in conversation for rookie of the year. The Grizz are still in search of a shooter until this guy can quickly show he is that man.

He's such a good shooter...BUT if you haven't seen John Wall, you haven't seen anything. Props to Griffin and Rubio and whomever else, I think Wall would be the #1 pick if he was in this draft.

Hes coming to Kansas, why would he go to kentucky? His parents went here and it is has the most tradition out of any school in the country. I respect Kentucky for all their amazing accomplishments but their program will not be good for a couple more years, Calipari will get it back though.
mmbbal24 2 years ago
wrong on two counts. He is visiting Kentucky. Plus if he wanted to commit to Kansas why not do it already.
CalipariNation 2 years ago
He's not visiting Kentucky. Henry said he's going to be making his decision this week and that a visit to Kentucky wasn't necessary.
Even as a KU fan, I don't know if that means he's going to UK or KU. I don't think any kid would go to a school he's never been too. But this is a one and done guy so maybe it doesn't matter to him.

wrong he said in an article today on zagsblog he is visiting.

Wrong. He is going to his prom instead. He says a visit isn't necessary to make a decision.
You're own sports writer said Henry is for sure going to Henry and that everyone is just waiting for him to announce that this week.

He is going to prom on friday, thus the reason why he won't take a visit

no Kansas has 3 national titles. Kentucky has 7. If you say Kansas has 5 then Kentucky has 9 because that would be the truth. Helms titles were titles among who won the most games.

Incorrect. Helms titles were voted on by members of the Helms Athletic Foundation. They actually voted on a champion until the early '80's. They are also listed in the official NCAA record books.

he wants to come to kansas, they just trying to nullify the letter of intent he signed with memphis... why would he even want to go to kentucky ? just casue calipari is money hungry and sold out memphis, does not mean he will follow..
he has a letter of transfer if calipari bolted, which he did... he has never even visited kentucky, but he has visited kansas, what does that tell u ? look 4 henry to be in a jaywaks uniform this fall... sorry kentucky, he does not want to play for you

ok lets stop this madness now, this guy wants to come to kansas, they are trying to work out him geting out that signed letter of intent he signed with memphis, when calipari ditched memohis 4 all that money (
where the honor calipari? huh, tell me that- memphis said they would match the money, but calipari bolted anyway..... this guy will be at kansas playing along side collins. u watch n see

jefferson0715 2 years ago
I think Kentucky would be a perfect fit. Calipari knows how to prepare players for the pros and Henry would be joining one of the most powerful front lines in the country, and a fan base that is unmatched anywhere. It would be a good fit, but I wish you the best wherever you go! You are a fine basketball player!
proscout2009 2 years ago
KU wasn't nothing until 1 year ago when self finally won kansas a championsip. It took him since the 80s to get Kansas back. Kentucky has 4 more championships than them, more wins, better percentage, more coaches with titles, more nba players
NewEraInTheBluegrass 2 years ago
If he's thinking about being one and done, then would he want kansas?
With Aldrich and collins returning, plus this years' returning freshman class....and Self
If he wants a ring in college, KU is his best bet because they're all ready the preseason favorites
kajalla 2 years ago 2
umm, ku has more nba players. better nba players all time history, maybe ku doesnt have as many wins, or champ, but ku invented basketball, oo and ku was good more than a year ago. remember when roy williams took them to an ncaa championship, and ku has been in the sweet 16 or better every year for the past 4 years. get ur story straight. oo and ku has the best nba player on record besides kareem abdul jabar in WILT CHAMBERLAIN!!!!!!!!

this kid isn't going to kansas. He's had his whole life the think about going to kansas. He will take his sweet time and take a visit to kentucky where he will almost certainly go. Poor lance stephenson should be pissed that he has to wait for this kid to make up his mind.

if your a kansas fan you got one championship in this decade. if your a duke fan you weren't even a program until the 90s. if your carolina, carolina has a case with all time program. you say we haven't had tradition since 60 years ago you are stupid. We have won attendance titles year in and year out and went to 3 championships 96-98.

kansas -- coach of the year-bill self, preseason #1, and uh, kentucky is a nobody nowadays. who cares if jodie meeks and whoever his name is were "numbering one scorers." you lost in the NIT to a team that was on a seven game losing streak during the season.
ifoldpaper 2 years ago
if you idiots didn't know anything kentucky has number one attendance. number 2 in championships. number one in wins. number one in conf. tourny wins. number one in percentage. 4 or 5 more titles than Kansas.....

That was last year under Bill Self's assistant which was his fault mainly. Kansas has only won two or three titles. I wonder who has better fans ones who break attendance records or your team

Rockchalkjayhawk35 2 years ago
wow, bigger stage? BIGGER STAGE??????? are u crazy? Kansas is where bastketball was invented, they are a pre season number one, and they are undefeated at home for the pst 2 years. cole aldrich, and sherron are already better than anybody uk could even get straight out of high school, so tell me how is UK, which has been the bucket of the ncaa the past 10 years is a bigger stage?
Rockchalkjayhawk35 2 years ago
your soooo stupid lol. im pretty sure xavier puts a pretty big amount of thought about the fact that kansas was the place where basketball was invented into his decision. kentucky is still alltime wins leader, lets not forget. uk went to the elite 8 not to long ago. and jodie meeks and patrick patterson were the highest scoring 1-2 punch in the ncaa this year. kentucky will be the biggest stage in the country if he or even john wall goes, uk will start 5 future pros and be in a NC running

yea, ur right ur team was good in the past. can u beat kansas now? o btw, we have 5 nat titles, and have been to the champ game more than u have, and kansas is where basketball originated from...... so dont tell me we arent the most prestigious, and most historical school when it comes to basketball.
Rockchalkjayhawk35 2 years ago 2
he will be at kentucky i almost guarantee it..Meeks SUPPOSEDLY is declaring for the draft cuz he wants but Calipari is VERY SMART. check this out....meeks and calipari have meeting....he tells meeks to put his name out for the draft as a bait...xavier sees the opening....uh oh instant playing time.....he commits to UK, what? meeks returning. GOTCHA haha, Cousins, Henry and the fact Wall's dad said he would not be thinking logically to go away from calipari due to his great NBA grooming ability.
seanwhitaker05 2 years ago
yeah that all sounds great except for the fact that the only reason henry choose memphis over kansas(where his mon and dad played) was because his brother walked on at memphis after signed a baseball contract not because of coach calipari.
now that his brother is free its only logical that both his brother and him play at their parents alma matter
bennybob1001 2 years ago
Did you not see the article where his dad said he wanted to go to Kansas?
fol2005 2 years ago
Kentucky is still in the mix for sure. I heard Kansas a few days ago but he has`t made up his mind yet. I mean he already committed to Calipari before, so i don`t see any reason he won`t follow. Cousins just made it official, and Wall might do the same. The only thing that has changed is the fact that he will be on a bigger stage at Kentucky. If anything the situation has improved.
boehmann19 2 years ago
Bigger stage? You mean the SEC? For a school who lost in the NIT?
Or the preseason #1, longest home winning streak in the nation Kansas Jayhawks? Henry's dad said he wants to go to Kansas. Besides Self is a better coach than Calapari.
