Two quick notes before we get to the really fun stuff. UK Athletics has scheduled a press conference for 9:30 am tomorrow to announce John Calipari as coach of the University of Kentucky. Also, Konner Tucker, the JUCO PG who committed to UK couple weeks ago, has opened up his recruitment according to Larry Vaught of KentuckySportsReport.com…one more scholarship!
This is from Zagsblog.com…Kentucky fans, do your best to keep from getting goosebumps:
Xavier Henry
Carl Henry said Calipari would like both of his sons — Xavier and C.J. — to follow him to Kentucky.
“He wants both of my kids to come,” Carl Henry said. “I can’t speak for them. They gotta tell me if they want to go to Kentucky, or where they want to go to school.”
John Wall
Wall, who is uncommitted and is ranked the top recruit in the nation by Rivals.com, said he would consider following Calipari to Kentucky. Memphis had been his leader.
“Probably so, yeah,” he said Tuesday by phone. “I probably would [follow Calipari]. I really have to sit down and talk to my family and all that.”
Memphis appears to be out now that Calipari is gone.
“I wasn’t committed to nobody, they were just my leader and everything like that,” he said of Memphis.
The 6-4 point guard out of Raleigh (N.C.) Word of God said he’s still considering Duke, Kansas, Miami, Baylor and N.C. State. He has visited Kansas, Duke and Baylor and will trip to Miami April 22.
He said he plans to cut his list down by the Jordan Brand Classic April 18 at Madison Square Garden.
“I think I’m going to narrow my list down at the Jordan Game,” he said. “I’m going to have to rethink it all over and cut my list.”
And what about possibly playing with Henry and (DeMarcus) Cousins at Kentucky?
“It would be good,” he said. “It could still happen or maybe not, you never know.”
DeMarcus Cousins
As for the 6-10 Cousins of Mobile (Ala.) LeFlore, he made an oral commitment to Memphis in March but hasn’t signed. Cousins is the No. 1 power forward in the Class of 2009 according to Rivals.
“I’m just waiting like everybody else,” Cousins told Jerry Meyer of Rivals. “If he leaves, I guess I’ll have to start all the way over.”
One source close to Cousins said he thinks he’s gone.
“I think he’s going to follow Coach Cal,” the source said. “He wasn’t going because of Memphis, it was because of Coach Calipari.”
