X-Man Sticking Around And Something With Wall And Greece!

Per Zagsblog: Henry and Wall news, Henry more than likely will remain as a Jayhawk and something about talk of Wall going to greece?


Just when you thought it was safe to bring out the summer grill and forget about some of these people, a few of our favorite college basketball names are back in the news.

**A Kentucky basketball blog says Xavier Henry is not happy at Kansas and that he could still end up at Kentucky. Henry initially committed to Memphis and then changed his mind after John Calipari took the Kentucky job.

Sources say Henry will not attend the first summer school session at Kansas but that Xavier and his brother, C.J., still plan on attending the school. Xavier also just worked the last four days at a Kansas camp with the players in Wichita. The family has made no official comment.
**Speaking of Calipari, an Open Letter to Kentucky President Lee T. Todd Jr. on Kentucky.com blisters Calipari for the latest recruiting scandal and his track record in that department.

Here’s an excerpt:

“Furthermore, Dr. Todd, you better hope that Calipari’s recruitment of mega-prospects John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins — which began on Memphis’ recruiting budget and ended with signatures on Kentucky letters of intent — was on the up-and-up.

Every media outlet with an investigative capacity has incentive now to take a fresh look at how Calipari’s program was operating.”

Another column follows up on the “Outside the Lines” story that ran on ESPN this weekend.

Memphis Commercial Appeal columnist Geoff Calkins said it was “simplistic” to divide the college basketball world into good guys and bad guys.

“The fact is there’s a lot of people in the world who have mixed feelings about John,” he said. “So I think it’s simplistic to say the higher you go, the more shots you take. Because I can name people pretty darn high who don’t have the reputation John has.”

Wall and the Greece story has been posted on some blogs and a few message boards, I don't think he will go. He signed a LOI, I don't think I'll worry about it.
