Report: Xavier Henry to Stay at Kansas

Radio station KCSP 610am in Kansas City reports late Tuesday night that highly touted recruit Xavier Henry will stick with his commitment to Kansas and not join the Kentucky Wildcats. Jeff Goodman of Foxsports.com, through his Twitter page, says Xavier texted him saying he was indeed sticking with the Jayhawks.

Earlier on Tuesday Henry's father, Carl, went on 610sports saying his son may be rethinking his decision to go to Kansas and instead may want to play for UK. That interview set off a firestorm of chatter on the world wide web. The elder Henry stated the family was to meet Tuesday night to discuss Xavier's future. Rivals.com reported Kansas coach Bill Self and assistant coach Danny Manning were also planning to meet with the family that night.

Xavier Henry is rated in the top 10 in the country by several websites. The Oklahoma City native originally committed to Memphis but when John Calipari left for UK he was let out of his letter of intent. Him and his older brother C.J., who was a walk on at Memphis, announced they would then transfer to Kansas. The possibility of Xavier Henry playing for the Cats presented itself again when Jodie Meeks was picked by the Milwaukee Bucks in the NBA Draft, ending his career at Kentucky. Kentucky has 12 scholarship players on the roster. The NCAA limit is 13.
