The top four basketball players in the recruiting Class of 2009 ? who all have Kansas University on their list of prospective schools ? traveled to various AAU tournaments over the Memorial Day weekend.
No. 1 ranked John Wall and No. 3 Derrick Favors were among the blue-chips at the Bob Gibbons Tournament of Champions in Chapel Hill, N.C.
No. 2 Xavier Henry was the top billing at the Nike Memorial Day Classic in Nashville, Tenn. while No. 4 Renardo Sidney competed at a tourney in San Jose, Calif.
Henry, a 6-foot-6 senior-to-be from Putnam City (Okla.) High, showed ?relentless attacking of the basket off the dribble,? according to Rivals.com analyst Jerry Meyer. ?His handle was tight and his impressive physique tough to deal with when barreling to the basket.?
Henry, who plays AAU ball for Oklahoma Athletes First, recently erupted for 47 points in the title game of the Show-Me Classic tourney in Missouri.
He has strong co-leaders in KU and Memphis and also has received scholarship offers from UCLA, Texas, Louisville, Ohio State and North Carolina.
