Xavier Henry Announces That He is Headed to Kansas, TheShiver.com

[tlambrop]

all i have to say is that all throughout the year people were asking coach cal about his team's free throws and he always shrugged it off. so please do not act like memphis as a team shot 85% from the line and then all of a sudden collapsed. they were awful at free throws and it was exposed in the championship game.

[rockchalk290]

Rock Chalk Championship 2010!!!

[shooka29]

he will be playing for the team that will be national champs this year

[KyplayaZ4lyfe]

actually looks like hes gonna back out =D

[Destroyou]

Not saying we are a lock for the championship but I am saying that we are a legit #1 or #2..

I dont really care about preseason ranks but it will all be settled on the court, we could lose or you could lose.. Who knows!

[Destroyou]

Tbh i truly hope we meet Kansas in the championship game and then its decided because im getting sick of the debates :)

[cjw2394]

KU is definitely going to be a force to be reckoned with!

[camman192]

national championship hear we come... again

[tonypena7]

Can't wait for Bill Self to turn another one-and-done stud into a three or four year college player.

[Defteats]

KU has NEVER had a one-and-doner, let alone a projected one-and-doner. Xavier Henry is literally the first player to be a projected one year player to ever go to KU.

We were supposedly going to be the projected number 1 team even before this announcement, so now it is definite number 1. Of course that doesn't mean shit, since it is a preseason ranking. I'm still hoping for another National Championship, especially after that asshat Roy Williams won this year. God I hate North Carolina.

[tonypena7]

Brandon Rush making a last minute decision to not go to the NBA draft out of high school and go to KU instead seems pretty one-and-done to me. It then took him until after his junior season in college to get drafted. Seems like a prime example to prove my point.

[BigCKU]

ya and he also turned that one and done late first, early 2nd round player into a lottery pick with a National Championship. Not bad.

[ScapulaMan]

that sucks i wish he coulda came to kentucky

[sportsfan913]

Welcome home Xavier

[bennybob1001]

kentucky fans aren't talking now

[Destroyou]

Yes benny bob we are still talking.. I dont say anything to people unless provoked... Im pretty sure we are still better than you with a better coach and a better history.... Whats so funny is (I believe ther is no validity to these reports) that there are rumors of Henry still considering Kentucky through a loophole of some sort, but that has a 99% of being wrong, but just pay attention before you start talking shit

[bennybob1001]

jesus christ dude, did you look at how long ago i made that post?

that was before the john wall commit and patrick patterson return.

kentucky has every right to talk, it'll will quite an accomplishment for coach cal to bring the program from what it was last year to losing to Kansas in the finals this year.

[Destroyou]

Experience only gets you so far and if our team gels then we should definitely beat you simply because...

On terms of talent:

Wall > Collins

Patterson and Cousins(not to mention Orton) > Your front court (Aldridge and your PF)

Our bench > Your bench

Xavier Henry > Whoever we have starting

Our SF = Your SF

Your experience > Our experience

So 4-2-1 Kentucky.. All we need is team chemistry and its a pretty easy call

[Destroyou]

3-2-1*

[bennybob1001]

having better talent alone doesnt win you a championship.

look at the 2008 title game. ill concede memphis had more talent than kansas did but kansas played better defense, made free throws, made more hussle plays.

so sure ill concede your school has slightly better talent but

bill self > john calipari

[Destroyou]

Rofl every Kansas fan is saying Bill Self is a better coach than Cal... But what is funny is that he was talked about being fired that season....

In said title game i won 50 bucks from my brother because i said kansas was going to win but really kansas was not the better team... Got incredibly lucky and Memphis misses like 5 straight free throws... Dont act like you were better...

[fol2005]

Can you read? bennybob1001: "I'll concede Memphis hand more talent than Kansas"

Anyone, including Cal, will say that he was out coached by Self in the title game. I don't know about luck either. They may be the first team to win by 7 points off of luck.

[Destroyou]

^lol!!!!!!!!

Cal was not Out coached... He was up by ten, they miss around 4 straight free throws, Chalmers steals the ball like twice and makes 3 straight threes...... I dont believe that has anything to do with coaching my friend....

You won by 7 points in OT after being down by like eight with like less than a minute to go.. That is pretty lucky.. Chris DR or Derrick Rose makes one free throw and it was GG... Dont pretend like Self outcoached Cal (What a joke)

[fol2005]

"I take full responsibility, when you are up 7 you're supposed to win that game. I didn't sub a whole lot. I didn't give Chris enough sub; I didn't give Antonio enough sub and I should have put Willie in a little more. I'm disappointed in myself because we should have one that game"

[Destroyou]

Wow you have never played organized sports in your life have you?

[fol2005]

Just the 3 years of football at Iowa.

[ENTERHEAR]

they were up by 9 actually so get your facts strait

[ENTERHEAR]

and Kansas was never thinking about firing self, they signed a ten year extension on his contract the year before the national championship year.

[Mcbainski]

HAHAHAHA CAL has 2 ncaa violations! You're a fucking idiot! hahahaha thanks for making my day

[Destroyou]

He has ZERO NCAA violations, look it up.

Also even if he did have violations

1. was he supposed to hold Roses hand during his SAT? i believe the NCAA ruled him elgible!

2. UMASS was the schools faults.

Cal has enver been charged with any violations, its just been on the school (for rose it was truly on the ncca and memphis nor cal should be punished)

Also dont call people idiots if you literally have no idea what you are talkign about

[bcknblack]

Just another name to add to my list of enemys

[dylanwoodard]

Sure hope hes not as shaky on the court as in the pc.

[cujoe331]

Final Four or bust Jayhawks!

[KUbballer049]

championship or bust is more accurate

[ojh3232]

thats my boy, shay wildeboor

[KUTheShiver]

Now that's funny stuff. Couldn't have more wrong info

[trude]

Oh yeah! Welcome to Jayhawk Nation X! If KU loses any game to a no namer, I'm gonna lmao.  I hope we win the National Championship next year!

[ImShives]

YES!!!! YES!! YES!!! GREATEST DAY SINCE OUR 08 Championship!!!!!!

[bglover11]

Ok, so when are we hanging his jersey?

[vikingshelm1980]

definite 09-10 champions!!!! Hope X stays longer as well, but I would not count on it!!

[oflct]

Welcome Xavier!

Why not stay for a few years?

Rock Chalk ....
