This much seems certain now.
Xavier Henry is staying at Kansas. Lance Stephenson is headed to Cincinnati. And Lance will not end up at Kansas in place of Xavier.
After meeting with his family and Kansas coach Bill Self Tuesday night, Henry texted various outlets to let them know he will be a Jayhawk for at least next season.
“I’m going to Kansas,” Henry texted to FOXSports.com late Tuesday night. “That’s final.”
As reported earlier, Carl Henry had initially told a Kansas City radio station that his sons could end up at Kentucky instead of Kansas.
All seems settled — at least for now.
the juco teams here in fla. could beat anyone in div 1 …including Kansas …you know squat about basketball and Ben eats 30 grilled sandwiches a day
pasta- since you know so much about florida juco basketball. please enlighten us with
what other players from Fla. Juco’s are on currrent d1 rosters? any in the NBA?
i really am interested
by the way i know mario little(current jayhawk) went to chiphola jc in florida.
Fl St. has picked up 5 players from chipola in the past few years …I’ll have to do some research to anser your question but I’m sure you will be surprised …..
Miami dade could beat Ft. Hayes St. by 50 …thats the 1st team on your awesome schedule btw
i bet i will be surprised, but to say that the juco teams could beat any d1 team is silly.
there is a reason that these kids went to juco and not to a 4 year school strait out of high school. these juco teams are good, better than i first thought ill admit, but they are not as good as d1 basketball.
the main reason is grades …not ability ……..
its got a little bit to do with ability. have you ever heard of a 5 star player out of Hs going juco?
Florida Junior colleges really isnt my strong suit, so i apologize if im wrong about some of the juco info lol
INDIANAPOLIS – Kansas is in trouble once again for the bad judgment of its basketball program.
The university was placed on probation for three years for a handful of violations in men’s basketball and football, the NCAA announced Thursday. There were no postseason bans.
The school originally imposed a two-year probation on itself, but the NCAA committee decided to add another year, citing a lack of institutional control.
“The committee finds that during the period in which the violations took place, the institution lacked control over its department of athletics and that the deficiency contributed to the problems that arose,” the NCAA committee stated in its public report.
Among other penalties, the men’s basketball program had its number of scholarships dropped by one to 12 for the 2007-08 and 2008-09 seasons and official paid visits reduced to eight.
Football will lose at least three scholarships for both the 2007 and 2008 seasons.
This is the second time in 18 years that the Kansas basketball program has run afoul of the NCAA. Following its 1988 national championship under coach Larry Brown, the school was barred from postseason play because of illegal benefits given to players.
……. Oct 2006 …for those Jayhawk guys who like to trash Cal as a crook
UK isn’t humming under the radar. they are still a topic of discussion within many college basketball circles. and im not sure i would post that X’s parents called cal. from what i have read, it seems like cal made the first move with some of his players calling X. X seems like a smart kid besides the fact that he doesn’t wanna go to class like the rest of america’s youths. he should and is staying at kansas. he has a better chance of winning a national title there and getting prepped for the nba under bill self than cal, who would have him just run around and shoot
Hey pasta,
Was Self responsible for that?
Has Memphis been on probation in the last 9 years ?
Was Umass ever on probation under Cal?
Blasphemy keep up. Your a math and physics major, but your reading comprehension skills need a little work. First, you twisted it to say that “theruckus33″ claims (CJ and Xavier, though no parenthesis were needed) have a 99.9% chance of coming to KU,”. I never claimed that. I was commiting an exercise in parody. Here is what I said, “I could say X and Henry have a 99.9% chance of coming to KU and .1% coming to Kentucky” Keyline in that sentence, “I could say”.
I then go on to agree with your statements on probability quoting myself, “In fact there is no real way for you personally to measure the odds for them attending”
The exercise of probability, real probabiilty can not be done when it comes to a personal decision about college basketball becauser their is nothing to quantify your results by. However, Pastaboy tries to do this, and leaves him an out by never saying, “100% chance” or “its a fact”. Pastaboy needs to take a logic class, and realize how much of his arguements are based on circular reasoning, a logical fallacy. But never the less.
No they were forced to vacate a final four under cal, which is far worse a punishment. Its basically saying, “you cheated so bad, we can’t count any wins you had as legitimate”.
Was Cal implicated in the Umass thing? No
yes.
vacating games is a slap on the wrist…..no scholarships lost …..everyone knows who went to the final 4 …..so there is an asterisk in the record books …it means nothing .
please provide documentation of anything Calipari did wrong in the Umass vacating its final 4 ………………..you have the floor
waiting moron……………
ruckus will now provide documentation of wrongdoing by Calipari at Umass ………………………waiting
googleing his idiotic ass off ..LOL
NCAA sanctions against Calipari at UMass …………. by Ruckus ……coming soon
…I’m sure will get some opinion piece about how Cal should have been implicated ….. but nothing from the NCAA in the way of a penalty or sanction against Calipari
still waiting genius …………….
pasta you would really rather throw away your final four banner and the wins and the records than get a scholarship taken away?
wow. i would pick scholarship every time.
Umass still hangs their banner …..not a damn thing the NCAA can do about it either ……the wins are in the record book with an asterisk …… big deal …losing scholarships can keep you from ever getting back to the final 4
Have you ever heard of the addage, “guilty by association”? Apply that to Calipari. at UMass. Sorry I couldn’t immediately respond. I have something called responsobilities and a career that keep me from being able to respond as automatic as you. What a sucky thought, you spend all this time on here, and still are only able to make feble attempts of adding anything thoughtful or intelligent to the postings.
