Xavier Henry
AT KANSAS YEARS: 2009-2010
Henry was regarded as a top-ten recruit in the class of 2009 by every major recruiting service. He joined his brother, C.J., on the Kansas roster for the 2009-2010 season. Both of his parents played basketball at Kansas in the 1980s.
ACCOLADES
- 2008 and 2009 Gatorade Player of the Year in Oklahoma.
- 2009 McDonald's High School All-American
- 2009 Parade Magazine High School All-American
- Holds Kansas' record for most points during freshman debut game (27)
- 2010 Sporting News All-Freshman team
- 12th overall selection by the Memphis Grizzlies in the 2010 NBA draft
DEFINING MOMENT
In his first game in a Kansas jersey, Henry scored 27 points in the 101-65 win over Hofstra, a Kansas freshman record. He added five rebounds, two assists, a steal, and a block on the night.
Josh Selby
AT KANSAS YEARS: 2010-2011
Selby was the No. 1 recruit in the class of 2010, according to Rivals.com. He arrived in Lawrence with as much fanfare as any recruit in recent memory. His nine-game NCAA suspension to open the season only raised excitement levels among Kansas fans, and he didn't disappoint in his debut against USC on Dec. 18.
ACCOLADES
- 2010 High School McDonald's All-American
- No. 1 overall recruit in the class of 2010
- 2010-2011 Pre-season Big 12 Freshman of the Year
- Two-time Big 12 Rookie of the Week
- 2011 NBA first round pick
DEFINING MOMENT
After a long recruitment and having to sit out the first nine games of the year, the tension inside Allen Fieldhouse on Dec. 18 couldn't have been higher. It was Josh Selby's Kansas debut. The freshman delivered, scoring a season-high 21 points, including the eventual game-winning three-pointer with 26 seconds remaining, giving Kansas the 70-68 win.
