Xavier and C.J. Henry might want to invest in a Magic 8-Ball because they’re having trouble making decisions.

Xavier Henry, the No. 3 recruit in the nation according to Rivals.com, and his older brother, C.J. Henry, made yet another change of plans Monday. Carl Henry, Xavier and C.J.’s father, told Rivals early in the day that his sons would not take their scheduled official visit to Kentucky this weekend.

Hours later, Zagsblog.com reported that the Henrys would indeed travel to Kentucky to meet with coach John Calipari.

“Now, they’re going to visit Kentucky at the end of the week,” Carl Henry told Zagsblog. “My youngest son called me and said he wanted to go visit.”

Xavier and C.J. both want to play together next season. Kansas and Kentucky are the only two schools they are seriously considering.

Carl had told Rivals that a decision could come as early as Wednesday. Now that they are visiting Kentucky, however, the Henrys probably won’t announce until late next week at the earliest. But is there a date for their announcement?

“I couldn’t tell you, man,” Carl said to Zagsblog. “I’m so ready for it to be over with.”

Whenever it does end, it will conclude one of the most topsy-turvy recruiting situations in recent memory for Kansas coach Bill Self and the Jayhawks. Xavier was Self’s top priority from the beginning.

But he chose Memphis live on ESPN in November because he wanted an opportunity to play with C.J., who was a walk-on freshman for the Tigers, and for Calipari.

When Calipari left for Kentucky last month, however, Xavier was let out of his letter of intent and reopened his recruitment. He said he wanted to play for Kansas, but that Kentucky would also be considered.

Adding more intrigue is the fact that C.J. originally committed to Kansas out of high school. C.J. chose Kansas in 2005 — part of the same class as Brandon Rush, Mario Chalmers and Julian Wright — before being drafted by the New York Yankees in the MLB Entry Draft.

C.J. played minor league baseball for three years before walking on at Memphis last season. He didn’t appear in any games because of an injury, but would still have to sit out next year because of NCAA rules should he choose to transfer.

The Henrys have filed an appeal to the NCAA to let C.J. play immediately. There’s no timetable for when that ruling could be released.

Also hanging in the balance is Lance Stephenson, Rivals’ No. 9 recruit in the nation. Stephenson is choosing between Kansas, Maryland and Saint John’s.

If Kansas gets Henry, Stephenson is likely to pick between Maryland and Saint John’s. Not only do Stephenson and Henry play the same position, but Kansas would also be out of scholarships to award if Henry commits.
