Wall on Campus and Henry Rumors


Today news has been swirling about all of the incoming freshmen at UK being academically qualified. This is huge as I posted earlier. With Meeks out of the picture UK could not afford to have anyone not eligible. There has also been a lot of speculation about the roster which is sitting at 12 right now, one short of the limit. In a recent interview some have taken comments from Calipari to mean there might still be another player to go.

Along with all of that speculation the rumors of Xavier Henry still being an option for UK is starting to heat up again. While it would be nice to see his talent come to UK I think it is very very unlikely. From all reports about what has been going on with all of the freshmen one can only believe that there is a great level of team growth going on. The few times I have seen Cousins he is with Hood and I would only assume that they are forming a great bond that will be very good for next season. While talking about how much the freshmen are growing together I would not want to say Henry would not fit in, but there is a strong chemistry taking place right now. Henry does not have any known attitude problems or character flaws that anyone knows of. However, from interviews, watching Henry on the court and reading countless articles and reviews, there is definitely an issue with ego. I am sure all of the players have egos as they are the best of the best, but it seems something is off, especially from the interview I watched with Orton and Henry a while back….

Whether I am right on this one or not, I still believe that Henry is at Kansas to stay. I am very happy with our roster and do not think we need to add anyone else.

  • Looking forward to July there are going to be some huge events for the upcoming recruiting classes. It should be fun to see and hear the news coming out of these events.
  • Tomorrow we will start taking a look at the UK football team and their upcoming season.
