Some late Sunday night rumors are floating around that Xavier Henry may not be totally sold on his decision to attend Kansas. His decision was widely thought to have been driven by his mother and according to the PlayMakers Blog, Xavier may be thinking that mother does not always know best:

The bizarre recruitment of Xavier Henry appears to be taking another crazy turn. Following Calipari’s exit from Memphis, Xavier and his brother were being courted heavily by Kentucky and Kansas, but in the end they chose the Jayhawks.

However, there are rumblings that the Henry camp is very, very unhappy with some “promises” made by Bill Self and the KU staff.

Another kicker involving this situation is the draft status of Jodie Meeks. Jodie has every intention of remaining in the NBA draft if he finds a suitor in the late first or early second round. It was widely believed that Xavier wanted to attend the University of Kentucky and play for Coach Cal, but his family’s influence swayed him towards Lawrence, Kansas.

Considering that Xavier had already signed a LOI to play at Memphis and was released, he wasn’t able to sign a LOI with the Jayhawks, leaving open the opportunity for Xavier to change his mind anyday.

Honestly I am shocked by these rumors. The key thing is that Xavier never could sign a Letter of Intent with Kansas since he already signed one with Memphis, so he can essentially declare “free agency” whenever he wants. I do not know at this point if he would reopen his recruitment to other schools, but I do know that he would SIGNIFICANTLY soften the blow if Jodie Meeks goes pro.

As the Big Blue world turns, huh?
