Heralded wing prospect Xavier Henry and his brother C.J. plan to visit UK the weekend of April 25-26, the players’ father said on Wednesday.
Xavier (pronounced Za-vee-a) signed with Memphis. C.J. was a walk-on with the Tigers last season.
UK is the only school the brothers will visit, Carl Henry said. They have already seen the other two schools on their list, Kansas (their parents’ alma mater) and Memphis.
“If it was me, I don’t need to look (at UK), if I want to play for Coach Calipari,” the players’ father said. “They want to see the campus. They’ve heard a lot about it.”
Carl Henry sounded anxious to finish the recruiting process. When asked if the visit should be interpreted as UK as the leader, he said. “If it as me, definitely. My sons change their minds all the time.”

John Calipari has no honor or integrity at all. Roy Williams did not take his recruits or players when he went to UNC; he told them that they couldn’t come to UNC. Calipari says he wants the Memphis players and recruits to stay at Memphis, but it is clear he doesn’t mean it since he wants both Henrys to come visit.
[...] Also, Carl Henry, the father of Xavier and CJ, spoke with Jerry Tipton about his sons’ upcoming visit to UK next week: [...]
the two brothers would look great with a pair of u.k. jerseys on!!!
CJ will have to sit out because he was on the roster and traveled with Memphis last year. Since Xavier is one and done, it will not happen. Unless the NCAA writes a “special” rule for them. If that happens the head of the NCAA will be physically damaged by concerned citizens. Put down like a sick animal.
Uh, what Jerry? That is about as clear as mud.
Is daddy saying UK is the leader or not?
March will always be “March Madness”, but April will be the U.K.I.T. Only three other teams will be invited!
