Carl Henry Talks About His Son’s Commitment, of lack thereof, to Kansas Today at 2

by @ 12:20 pm. Filed under Blue Blooded Opinions

TheShiver.com, who has been following the recent Xavier Henry saga, is reporting that a pre-recorded interview with Carl Henry will air on Kansas radio station 610 AM today at 2pm and then again at 5pm. Although they do not elaborate, The Shiver has gotten word that Carl will speak on the possibility of Xavier not attending the University of Kansas next year. Here’s the pertinent part of the Shiver’s article:

In a pre-recorded interview that will air today at 2 p.m. and 5 p.m., the father of Xavier and CJ Henry spoke to 610 sports host Chris and Cowboy about the Kansas City Star article that came out on Sunday. In the interview, Carl speaks about the possibility that Xavier Henry might not be attending the University of Kansas.

Here’s a link to the 610 sports’ radio station website, so you can listen to the live broadcast.

In other UK news, Jeff Goodman of Fox is reporting that former Kentucky guard Donald Williams has signed on to play ball at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College.

    I would like to point out…”Carl speaks about he *****POSSIBILITY***** that Xavier Henry might not be attending the University of Kansas.”

    Possibility = Not Set In Stone

  2. KyBallGirl Says:

    Awesome if he were to go to UK!

  3. STLouisBBFan Says:

    Another Warrior diamond in the rough finds a suitable home . . . good luck to him.

  4. asdfasdf Says:

    apparently some poster on a KU board said that momma Barb Henry told X that if he really wants to go play for Cal now, she will move to KY. dont know the validity of this but interesting for sure

  5. UK IS MY LIFE Says:

    read article sameosameo

  6. KENNYPOWERS Says:

    he is not going to come here, lets just forget about the idea. It would be nice to have him, but it’s not happening.

  7. TheDancingOutlaw Says:

    Man, that is a long trip from UK to Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College.

    As to the Henry situation, that has to be the most misleading sentence ever written. Those kids are going to Kansas. Nothing to see here.

  8. BJ Says:

    With those teeth, he is destined to play for Olympiacos.

  9. KENNYPOWERS Says:

    im sure he wants to play for us now, espec since meeks isn’t here, and we have wall.

  10. fyrebird_86 Says:

    #4-That is really interesting if it was true. Just reading some of the articles about Xavier Henry it appears that he really wanted to come to UK, but his mom didn’t want to move and his dad kept on pushing him to go to Kansas.

  11. MGH Says:

    I think I’ll take the “wait and see” approach here. This isn’t set in stone until it’s set in stone, period.

  12. true blue1 Says:

    Come on down Henry Brothers, you all are more than welcome….

  13. asdfasdf Says:

    in my post at 4 i read the post wrong, he was saying that is what Carl Henry says in the interview at 2. lets wait and see, things could get really interesting

  14. fyrebird_86 Says:

    Well, we do have one scholly open, but I don’t think that Xavier will be coming to UK. Could use the shooting though. Wouldn’t hurt our chances next year. Especially since it would take away from Kansas…literally. :-)

  15. GoCats2010 Says:

    way to go DONALD, you could have just gone to Marquette the whole time instead of this retarded runaround

  16. blaborio Says:

    Lance Stephenson to Cincinnati… maybe we could get a game with Cincy next year?

  17. blaborio Says:

    per http://www.zagsblog.com

  18. fyrebird_86 Says:

    Yeah, Cincinnati just seems suitable. That’s where all of the other future Cons go.

  19. Old Henry Man Says:

    The Henry’s have more Drama then my middle school daughter and her friends.

  20. asdfasdf Says:

    is anybody listening to 610?

  21. UK IS MY LIFE Says:

    http://theshiver.com/2009/6carl-henry-speaks-to-610-sports/

  22. UK IS MY LIFE Says:

    right side of page has full interview

  23. asdfasdf Says:

    take that 6 out of the link otherwise it doesnt work

  24. TayPrinceJr. Says:

    8.Zah-vee-yay’s teeth are like that because he was in a car accident,seriously.

  25. bigpapijugg Says:

    21. that link doesnt do anything besides redirect you to 610 sports. it has the OLD interview but not the one we are interested in

  26. UK IS MY LIFE Says:

    its the same one thats going to air at 2

  27. bigpapijugg Says:

    no its not. read what it says.

  28. 49 Chevy Says:

    A while back I said X would end up here. Still think he signs and plays at UK.

    Him not enrolling in summer school showed some doubt on his part.

    Interesting that one more player may be leaving which would open up two scholarships.

    Do the Henry math.

  29. bigpapijugg Says:

    the one your talking about is a few days old. the one that comes on at 2 was recorded today

  30. The Squid Says:

    #24 Really? I never heard about that.

    Still skeptical about them ending up at UK. However, the KU fans have to be irrate about this.

    Remember, these kids are legacies and still chose Memphis initially. Imagine if that
    happened to UK? Fans would despise those players and would resent the father as well.

    This only adding fuel to the fire.

  31. bigpapijugg Says:

    and i listened but it was just talking bout mj and the 2 term of presidency law.

  32. phat jones Says:

    “Not going to Kansas” does not equal “going to UK.”

  33. UK IS MY LIFE Says:

    ok bigpapijugg differtent interviewer same old quotes was going to reurope changed mind cant believe how fans are treating him but xavier will be at kanas

  34. blizzard man Says:

    I don’t want the Henry’s anywhere near UK. There whole family is nuts and could very well be a chemistry killer.

    “Carl says both of his sons hope to be one-and-done at KU.”

    Yes that includes CJ the baseball playing walk-on who hasn’t played a real basketball game in 4 years.

    “I don’t like stepping on people’s toes,” Carl says, “but I just know what I know. I watch them play, all the Kansas kids. I like all these kids, (Sherron) Collins, (Tyshawn Taylor), they’re good kids, man. But they’re not better than C.J.”

  35. crazydave Says:

    So if he does come here then the only really returning players that will be getting any significant run will be PP and Darius.

    Talk about an X-treme makeover!!

  36. spiderukman44 Says:

    Listen, now with Meeks gone I think Xavier is really regretting his decision. I believe that he probably wanted UK all along but with the families ties and with Meeks still up in the air, he pulled the trigger on KU. I’m not saying there is validity to those two coming here, I’m just saying don’t close the door on the possibility just yet. If Henry comes, go ahead and seal up the SEC regular season and tournament championships, punch your ticket to the Final Four and start picking out rafter locations for #8.

  37. bigpapijugg Says:

    how is it the same if its a different interview, questions, and responses. this is a NEW interview prerecorded this morning with new possibilities. it hasnt been aired so how in the world do u know whats in it

  38. crazydave Says:

    34) Kind of see where your going. We’ve got our team, moved on from JM, and looking ahead to next year. This might be an addition that will end up subtracting the goal at the end.

  39. bigpapijugg Says:

    we will see at 2

  40. dhwildcats10 Says:

    http://whatswright.podomatic.com/player/web/2009-06-30T09_32_08-07_00

  41. asdfasdf Says:

    thank you 40 i was just about to link that!

  42. BayouCat Says:

    34)I bet Henry Sr. thinks C.J. is better than Wall and Bledsoe too. Leave the Henrys be. Seem like a family full of head cases. I really believe Jon Hood is a better player anyway.

  43. bigpapijugg Says:

    40- idk y u gave a link to royals news. it wasnt even radio. it was a podcast of KC royals news

  44. asdfasdf Says:

    listen to the last 90secs of 40’s link… directly from the horse’s mouth so to say. no more speculating about why Xavier isn’t at UK right now, but proof that it COULD happen

  45. asdfasdf Says:

    http://whatswright.podomatic.com/player/web/2009-06-30T09_32_08-07_00

  46. asdfasdf Says:

    THE LAST 90 SECS only

  47. crazydave Says:

    42) Maybe at taking grounders.

    This dude is starting to remind me of the dad of the Williams sisters….too much in the news.

  48. BSORG Says:

    Is this why Cal talks about having only 11 scholarship players…..to make room for the Henry brothers.

  49. UKfaninAlabama Says:

    Goodman’s 2010 mock draft. Wall #1

    http://msn.foxsports.com/cbk/story/9742454/Early-2010-NBA-mock-draft

  50. bigpapijugg Says:

    that isnt what he said b4 thats all new. he said UK is possible
    great link guys

  51. crazydave Says:

    Will someone give a play by play of the interview…..I’m getting frickin sea sick and need to hit the rack!!!!

  52. Braddy Says:

    Mr. Carl Henry needs to just shut his mouth and quit putting his own sons in positions where they are doomed to fail!!!

  53. bigpapijugg Says:

    haha this is awesome

  54. bigpapijugg Says:

    when is this gonna come on? it said 2 and its 2

  55. Jack Bauer Says:

    42) Jon Hood isn’t even in the same league as Xavier Henry. That’s ridiculous.

  56. dhwildcats10 Says:

    Probably 2 CST

  57. UKfaninAlabama Says:

    Sounds like Carl needs to stop trying to make himself famous, and let his son make a decision. His mom too. If my son wanted to play at UK, KU, IU, or wherever, I would support him 100%.

  58. CatFanInKnox Says:

    I also assume it is 2 CDT. If someone can let those of us without speakers on our work computers know if anything important is said, I know I would appreciate it.

  59. IcemanG2 Says:

    What a windbag. Someone take the mic/phone away from Carl Henry. Poor X, really wanted to go to UK to play for Cal, and now he’s likely going to a school he doesn’t even want to play for, because his parents steered him there. In the end, I expect to turn on the tv and see X suiting up for Kansas.

  60. BigCatDaddy4263 Says:

    Xavier Henry will be at The University of Kentucky, not wanting to go to Kansas and with Jodie Meeks leaving, it’s in the tea leaves…

  61. UKhoopshysteria Says:

    People their is absolutely no chance the Henry Bros come to UK b/c they are a package deal. Even if Cal opened up another spot as he has hinted it wouldn’t matter. Carl is convinced both are one and done players so you know he thinks his kids should start in college. I really don’t think CJ and Carl would ever stop bitching about Wall playing the point and we all know ain’t nobody taking Mr. Wall’s spot as our PG.

  62. UK IS MY LIFE Says:

    does everybody that cal was lieing he said no more players

  63. Beatle Bum Says:

    #61 - UK only needs a scholly for X, not CJ. That spot is open with Meeks decision. I think Cal would take both. CJ as a walkon will be okay. Cal knows as well as anyone what CJ can do.

  64. IcemanG2 Says:

    No way CJ is at UK. Already have Wall and Bledsoe, which is a far better combo than Collins/Taylor.

    In a perfect world, X comes to UK and CJ stays at KU. But that won’t happen. Both will stay at KU and after one year, X will be in the draft and CJ will likely be done at KU as well (whether foolish or not).

  65. xSoFine69o Says:

    CJ can’t be on scholarship, he’s not even on scholarship at KU. The Yankees pay for his college education.

  66. TayPrinceJr. Says:

    62. Cal doesn’t lie he’s switching the truth around, he has careful word choice.

  67. TayPrinceJr. Says:

    Anybody still think there will be some high school drama between X and Orton?

  68. asdfasdf Says:

    who cares about lying, i care about championships. i dont expect coach to come out and talk about fluid situations that are going on behind the scenes, expecting a coach not to lie in public means he isn’t doing the most he can behind the scenes (without cheating of course)

  69. BigCatDaddy4263 Says:

    The entire interview with Carl Henry happens at 3:00 P.M. 2:00 CST

  70. TayPrinceJr. Says:

    68. That’s basically what I meant to say, Cal is trying his best because the scenario can always change, and according to Aaron’s links, Carl says it is not guaranteed that they will go to KU.

  71. BPsycho Says:

    #69 thanks

  72. asdfasdf Says:

    somethings can’t be talked about in public bc they might fall thru

  73. catintn Says:

    Who cares? I think we will be fine with what we have- Miller is gonna be a stud in this system and Henry coming here will only take oppurtunities away from others ready to step in. There is WAY TOO MUCH DRAMA associated with these guys- if its not Memphis, its UK- if its not UK its Kansas- if its not Kansas its Europe- WHO CARES, REALLY? They had there chance to come to UK, we are gonna be GREAT without em why take a chance on messing with the chemistry the players have that CHOSE to come to UK?

  74. blueman80 Says:

    i bet all this X talk is driving the gay-hawks nuts!!

  75. BigCatDaddy4263 Says:

    OMG, Phog.net is going crazy with Gayhawk fans absolutely killing Carl Henry and saying that it’s a done deal with Xavier Henry coming to Kentucky because of Meeks going pro….. Apparently, according to Phog.Net, Bill Self and Danning Manning are flying to Oklahoma City tonight to meet with the family and if Xavier and CJ are not on campus by this weekend, they are pulling their offer off the table…..

  76. blueman80 Says:

    73-> right on…why take on so much baggage esp the dad..obviosuly he doesn’t care what his sons interest is…let them stay there or go to Europe……we have the 2 best pgs playin in the country and its Milla Time…i think we will be just fine…

  77. asdfasdf Says:

    interview is great! wowww

  78. fyrebird_86 Says:

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Listenin to the Interview with Carl Henry. He is meeting with his sons today to discuss it, but he has heard that they are wanting to go to UK now since their mom says that she is willing to go to Kentucky now, thanks to all the drama at Kansas.

  79. UK-Basketball-Freak Says:

    Ijust dont buy the X to UK bs. Just really hard to swollow.

  80. IfThenElse Says:

    Carl Henry is saying that Orton and Wall have been
    trying to get X to come to UK. And, now zaaahhhhhhh-veeeeeeee-aaaaay
    wants to come to UK……mayyyyyyybbbbeeeee.
    I hate this d-bag.
    Now he is talking about going overseas. WTF?

  81. BPsycho Says:

    Are you guys serious? or bsing?

    This is ******* crazy if true.

  82. IfThenElse Says:

    Carl Henry is crazy, man…crazy.

  83. asdfasdf Says:

    who cares, he wont be involved if they play for UK, just like he said he hasnt been talking to them/making decisions for them

  84. fyrebird_86 Says:

    I dunno #79…I am listening to Carl Henry on 610.

    First off, this guy is hilarious and might just be my new favorite guy. He is like…that’s what’s happening, if you disrespect my family, then you can kiss my butt, haha.

    Basically, for those of you that can’t listen in…

    ********
    Carl Henry heard last night that his sons were wanting to go to UK, because their mom now says she wouldn’t mind going to Kentucky.

    He is supposed to meet with his sons tonight to discuss what they are going to do.

    The Henry brothers are not bound to Kansas. Xavier cannot sign another LOI since he had one at Memphis. So…he is nothing but a verbal to Kansas so he can go wherever he wants.

  85. BigCatDaddy4263 Says:

    I’m telling you guys, is this the good news that Matt Jones was talking about receiving this week? I think that Xavier and CJ are coming to Kentucky

  86. blueman80 Says:

    if the X man does decide to come…do we have to take CJ also? cant we leave him with kansas as consolation?

  87. CatFanInKnox Says:

    For those of at work who can’t hear it, thanks #84.

  88. BigCatDaddy4263 Says:

    Listening to these guys on 610, they all are saying that Xavier & CJ is coming to Kentucky…. Their mom, Barbara, will move to Kentucky with them…. This could be crazy and could catapult Kentucky as the front runner for the National Championship

  89. bigpapijugg Says:

    The seven saviors:
    wall bledsoe henry orton cousins dodson hood?

  90. Pabenny Says:

    X takes the extra scholly, CJ walks on since Yankee’s are paying his way. Its easy and a win win. All they have to do is show up and enrol for classes and they can be Wildcats and hang a banner.

  91. Pabenny Says:

    Best recruiting class of ALL time.

  92. asdfasdf Says:

    KU fans sound like whiny metrosexuals

  93. BigCatDaddy4263 Says:

    Just got a text message from KSR, damn they are late with the news that Xavier maybe leaving Kansas

  94. dhwildcats10 Says:

    They also said the Bill Self is traveling to Oklahoma City tonight and is going to give him the sales pitch one last time. Seems like a lot of the KU fans on the radio don’t want him.

  95. Laker Cat 18 Says:

    Wow. That’s all I have to say. I’m loving this just as much as the next guy, but I’m somewhat glad this kid may be a one and done. It’s kind of getting old. But hey, if it happens…should rearrange some preseason polls. Now is when we get to see the Jayhawks sweat like whores in church.

  96. blueman80 Says:

    looks like X could be one and done with kansas before the season even began lol

  97. dhwildcats10 Says:

    95. Haha, that was a great line

  98. blay-z Says:

    Anyone concerned this may be too much of a good thing? I mean, I’m all for talent, but we don’t need anymore divas (not saying X is, just not quite sure). *IF* X were to come here, I would sure hope he could play within the team aspect… we sure do have a lot of character on the team already.

    That being said, bring it on. (I just feel gluttenous at this point saying I want X on the team.)

  99. BigCatDaddy4263 Says:

    The family is meeting tonight at 6 to discuss Xavier and CJ leaving Kansas and going to Kentucky, a lot of people are already saying that both have already said they are leaving for Kentucky

  100. ukhooligan Says:

    http://www.kansascity.com/sports/story/1293180.html

    didn’t anyone read this story? sounds like an entire family of douchebags. i wish they would stay at Kansas to screw that team up enough to give others an edge on them.

  101. ukhooligan Says:

    i agree with 98. X is a tool and so is his dad and brother.

  102. dhwildcats10 Says:

    Does anybody else think KU would go after Lance if Xavier left KU

  103. asdfasdf Says:

    didnt Lance committ to Cincy today? did he sign?

  104. BigCatDaddy4263 Says:

    That’s exactly what they are saying on this radio station. That if Xavier and CJ back out, then they are going to go after Lance this afternoon….

  105. ukhooligan Says:

    I seriously got excited when I read that Kansas City Star story because it said to me that these kids are going to F up this team and improve our chances of winning a title. If he comes here I think it’s bad news and we’re likely to upset or even lose one of Hood/Miller/Dodson who are quality players and good dudes too.

  106. BigCatDaddy4263 Says:

    However, Zagsblog is reporting that Lance has committed to Cincinnati, but he cannot sign with Cincinnati, the signing period is over

  107. cat1 Says:

    This “Your comment is awaiting moderation” some kind of BS probation or something?

  108. cat1 Says:

    Miller isnt going anywhere, hood wont play this year but he is a long term plan anyway, Dodson i have no idea.

  109. BigCatDaddy4263 Says:

    Why would Hood or Dodson leave? They have signed Letter Of Intent and I don’t think they would leave at all

  110. BigCatDaddy4263 Says:

    There are several people from Lexington and people from Kentucky calling this sports radio show in Kansas City, they are now calling it a Kentucky Sports Radio Show….. How freaking funny

  111. ukhooligan Says:

    107 i mean throughout the course of the year or at the end of the year.

  112. BigCatDaddy4263 Says:

    If Xavier Henry comes to Kentucky then Kentucky would have the following:

    #1 PG
    #3 PG
    #1 SG
    #1 C
    #3 C
    #1 JUCO Player
    4 * Player…..

    Freaking Crazy recruiting class
