Henry to Kansas, Who's Next?

After much speculation, I received news from my source on Tuesday night and it was made official that Xavier (prounounced Zah-vee-yay)Henry and his older brother CJ, were going to Kansas, following in their parents' footsteps. For the Henry brothers, the only factor that played into them going to UK was Coach Calipari, who recruited them to Memphis when Xavier verbaled back in November. CJ was already on the Memphis roster as a walk-on. He was drafted by the New York Yankees in 2005 but went back to college to play basketball since he was a 3-star recruit at that time. It is not exactly sure if he will remain a walk-on at KU because the Yankees were paying his tuition, but KU only had 2 scholarships available at the time. The brothers will be good additions to an already stacked KU team next year, who look to contend for a national championship next year. But now is the time for UK to get back in gear and get the next recruit in line.
