The latest on X and Born Ready

X is in NYC for the Jordan Brand Classic and Born Ready is in NYC because he lives on Coney Island.
National signing day started yesterday.
Born Ready can sign a Letter of Intent- X can not because he has already signed a LOI and you can not sign more than one. (that is if Born Ready is academically eligible- which I nor anyone else can confirm or deny but its believed but not confirmed that his BornreadyTV website is ok for the NCAA)

Born Ready is not talking or is his coach Tiny Morton.

NO word on when Born Ready will announce, but its somewhat safe to assume it'll be KU or St John's..

Per Zagsblog.com Daniel Orton is going to stay at Kentucky (it was rumored if he switched he'd be interested in KU, but also its long been rumored that him and X are not buddies and would not play together in college- if true that helps us in the x/cj sweepstakes)

Below is part of an article from ESPN, that I think (and this shit changes by the minute that we have a good shot at getting X. And I know what he means, I've watched that video a ton and it makes me very emotional)








When he returns home Sunday, Henry will gather his thoughts, confer with his family and "decide within a week" between Kansas and Kentucky.

Memphis was quickly eliminated when first-year coach Josh Pastner was hired. "Josh recruited me hard to Memphis but I'm going with [head coaching] experience," he said.

DeMarcus Cousins, a talented 6-10 post from LeFlore (Mobile, Ala.), did the same after verbally committing to the Tigers during the season. He recently chose Kentucky.

Will Henry follow?

"I'll know soon," he said.

Here's what Henry had to say about his finalists.

Kansas:

"It's only a four and a half hour drive from Oklahoma City, my brother originally committed there out of high school before signing a professional baseball contract and I know the Kansas tradition through my mom and dad. When my dad received a DVD of their 2008 National Championship season, I watched it 50 times; it gave me chills," he said.

Kentucky:

"I don't know anything about the program's history, but I do know Calipari is the coach. Cal has a feel for building a program. He makes you already feel a part of the program and wants you to succeed. He'll tell you honestly if you are ready for the NBA."That won't be for at least one season."Even if I could go straight to the NBA, I won't bypass college," Henry said. "I need to learn the game and get stronger. I'd like to go where the school could win a national championship; and have a chance to play with my brother."
