Scout.com Player Evaluation:
STRENGTHS Big-Time Scorer / Mid-Range Game / Versatility
AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT Ballhandling / Defensive Presence

Father played at Kansas, brother was drafted in the first round by the New York Yankees. This is an elite player who slashes and shoots it deep with equal efficiency. Has a great attitude and way about him. Continues to get bigger, better and stronger each season. Tough kid with a chance to earn a serious living playing this game.

Well, I guess we can take this watch down now. Or can we?

Well, I guess we can take this watch down now. Or can we?

LOL...I created it the night that all the talk that Henry was "likely to announce his intention to switch from Kansas to go to Kentucky" began! I was surprised there hadn't been a Recruit Watch thread created for him prior to that big night!

But...just like with the Will Barton thread and other Recruit Watch threads that are created....once they commit to another team, they're usually just updated with a (University X commit).

Of course...with Xavier Henry.....there just might be a need to keep this one up until he actually steps foot inside of a Kansas classroom :icon_lol:
