Coach John Calipari and the Memphis Tigers will welcome two of the nations top high school players and one top JUCO performer this weekend. Xavier Henry, the RSCI #2 ranked player, Thomas Robinson, the RSCI #23 ranked player, and Miami Dade JUCO star, Darnell Dodson, are all expected to be checking out the Tigers program during the weekend.
Dodson, a former Pitt commit in 2006, just recently learned that he won’t be able to recommit to Pitt, or any Big East school, due to a Big East rule. He has now opened his recruitment and Memphis was eager at the opportunity.
Thomas Robinson seemed like a lock for the Kansas Jayhawks a week ago, but Robinson decided to visit Memphis anyway and may visit USC as well. According to Zagsblog, Kansas Coach, Bill Self, made the trip to Washingington D.C. yesterday to visit Robinson’s mother.
Henry has had a roller coaster of a recruitment over the past 6 months, is still expected to visit Kansas on October 17th. From all angels, all everything seems to point to Memphis, but we are hearing that the Kansas staff still feels very strong about their chances in landing a commitment from the Putnam City star.
