That's the thing. If CJ gets back to form, Memphis gets a good point guard without burning a scholarship.Whatever do you mean Hat? :shhh::wink2:
Seriously though, other than the Xavier backstory, this should also help out this year's team.
I bet Willie let out a big "WTF!"
:lolabove:
Cal making a recruiting miscalculation=Not likely.
Fulmanure botching something=The norm for almost a decade now.

There is concern that this could work out either good or bad for Memphis in the recruitment of his brother.
But Cal was in a situation where he wasn't about to tell a stud athlete "no", especially considering the Yankees are paying his tuition and it doesn't hit his scholarships.
It may end up being a catch 22 for Cal and not a miscalculation at all.
Given Cal's friendship with Carl Henry from his time at Kansas, I'd be really surprised if there's any calculation. If X ends up in Lawrence, I immediately elevate Bill Self to the top of my list of recruiters. John is tough enough to beat on the recruiting trail when all things are equal. With his built in advantages in this case, it's hard to see him missing his target.There is concern that this could work out either good or bad for Memphis in the recruitment of his brother.

I can't remember but was CJ Leak highly sought after coming out of high school? As much as CJ Henry? With the rotation of players Cal uses, I am not sure this will turn out the same as it did in Knoxville.
After having been beaten out and realizing he couldn't even beat out the stiffs the Demon Deacons had at the time.

You're missing a rather important difference in the two equations. By all accounts, Daddy Leak never was much of a Fulmer fan. On the other hand, Carl Henry and Cal have been tight for almost 25 years. I'm sure CJ shows up in Memphis well aware that nothing is going to be handed to him.He had what ended up being a career ending injury. He came to UT with low expectations due to the injury. He got a shot at UT but it was obvious he was not the same player post-injury. The Leak's got their feelings hurt, but really CJ only saw the field in the first place to get to Chris to UT.
The Henry situation could pan out similar. CJ has been away from the game and is essentially running interference for his brother. There is some stiff competition for playing time on Memphis' roster. CJ might get his hopes up too high, only to ride the bench, which might sway a younger brother to look elsewhere.
