April 16, 200917 yr Tipton has a few quotes from Henry's father on his site: UK is the only school the brothers will visit, Carl Henry said. They have already seen the other two schools on their list, Kansas (their parents’ alma mater) and Memphis. “If it was me, I don’t need to look (at UK), if I want to play for Coach Calipari,” the players’ father said. “They want to see the campus. They’ve heard a lot about it.” Carl Henry sounded anxious to finish the recruiting process. When asked if the visit should be interpreted as UK as the leader, he said. “If it as me, definitely. My sons change their minds all the time.” http://ukbasketball.bloginky.com/2009/04/15/xavier-henry-brother-to-visit-uk/
April 16, 200917 yr Author It sounds to me like Henry might be a Wildcat (although ESPN still lists Kansas as the favorite).
April 16, 200917 yr Hopefully the visit will do the trick. How could anyone turn down this?:thumb: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RVd7wbiurA

April 16, 200917 yr It sounds to me like Henry might be a Wildcat (although ESPN still lists Kansas as the favorite). Would be nice to get him and Wall, but I'm too pessimistic to believe that will happen.
April 16, 200917 yr Would be nice to get him and Wall, but I'm too pessimistic to believe that will happen. Same here and I don't want my hopes up...
April 16, 200917 yr I don't know which way he will go but Cats are gonna start looking good for everyone since coach Cali is here.
April 16, 200917 yr Wild how things change in the recruting game. After re-opening his commitment I thought there was no chance at all Henry would even look at Kentucky, it was almost a lock for Kansas. Now Cal has got right back in the mix and it appears Kentucky is getting very hot when it comes to the Henry brothers. Like posted by others, not wanting to get my hopes up, but I honestly think the UK visit will seal the deal for Xavier and CJ. They both are huge on Calipari, Calipari is huge on telling guys what they want to hear......So you put coach Cal in these guys' ear while they venture into the Craft Center, Rupp, and perhaps make a trip to Keeneland, then Kansas may be dust in the wind to these guys. Wall included I am sure Calipari has already been in these guys' ear talking about how Kentucky was his dream job and how thereis something about Kentucky no other basketball school has. Furthermore, and maybe more importantly to these guys is I am sure he has told them they will be playing in front of 23,000 every home game, and will be playing about 80% of their games on National Television, and theres not too many teams who can say that.

April 16, 200917 yr Author Don't we still have scholarship issues? Like not enough.... Those scholarships "magically" appear when needed.

April 16, 200917 yr :lol: "I close my eyes, only for a moment and the moment's gone." I guess I am missing something here... how can he offer a scholarship if we don't have any to offer? Is someone leaving? Who??
