A week from now, when the NCAA&rsquo;s summer evaluation period is in full swing, big-time college basketball coaches will board their private jets and small-time coaches will wait in security lines for commercial airliners. Along each journey, there will be bumps in the road, misunderstandings between adult and teenager, small flames to fan on the way to getting that special kid on that special campus. </p><p>Rarely do the subtleties of the process emerge from private to public. That, Kansas coach Bill Self said on Wednesday afternoon, was what made the latest addition to the Henry family recruitment saga different than the norm. </p><p>A story about the Henry family that ran Sunday in The Kansas City Star set off a chain reaction that eventually led to Self and assistant coaches Danny Manning and Joe Dooley making a visit to speak with the family on Tuesday evening in Oklahoma City. The story detailed the family&rsquo;s desire for brothers Xavier and C.J. Henry to play professional basketball as soon as possible &mdash; a message that sent KU fans with a handle on the Internet to their keyboards to air their views on the Henrys. </p><p>&ldquo;They were disappointed and hurt by what they thought the Kansas people were perceiving their family to be,&rdquo; Self said. </p><p>By the end of the meeting with Self, however, Xavier and C.J. still wanted to be Jayhawks. </p><p>&ldquo;The boys are as committed as they ever have been,&rdquo; Self said. &ldquo;People should talk themselves off the ledge so to speak if you&rsquo;re a KU fan, because we&rsquo;re fine and they&rsquo;re fine. But I do think it&rsquo;s over. I do think we will not be talking about this again.&rdquo;</p><p>Self and his staff members visited the Henrys after Carl Henry, the boys&rsquo; father, said in an interview on Tuesday afternoon with KCSP (610 AM) that Xavier may change his mind about playing at KU and that he had wanted to play at Kentucky for John Calipari all along. But Carl Henry told Rivals.com on Wednesday that he was speaking out of turn because of his frustration relating to the way he felt his family had been portrayed in The Star story. </p><p>&ldquo;I want to apologize to the Kansas people,&rdquo; Carl told Rivals. &ldquo;I kind of jumped the gun quick because of a story that was written that was negative towards my family. I did jump the gun quick.&rdquo;</p><p>During a chaotic 72-hour period that ended late Tuesday night, details began to emerge that made it appear as if Xavier, the highly talented 6-foot-6 shooting guard, may not be sold on Kansas or college altogether. In The Star&rsquo;s Sunday story, Carl Henry said Xavier was interested in playing in Europe about a month ago. Carl then told KCSP on Tuesday that Xavier had begun to reconsider Kentucky a couple of weeks ago. </p><p>Self said he was aware of Xavier looking into Europe and that he encouraged him to do so. Self also said issues such as this crop up &ldquo;quite often&rdquo; in recruiting.</p><p>&ldquo;If you think that any coach in America,&rdquo; Self said, &ldquo;doesn&rsquo;t coach a really good player where that player might come in and say, &lsquo;Coach, right now, I&rsquo;m not happy. I&rsquo;m thinking about doing this, Coach,&rsquo; or, &lsquo;My mom&rsquo;s not feeling well. I think I should be with her,&rsquo; or, &lsquo;Coach, I think I&rsquo;m really a three man and you&rsquo;ve got me playing the four.&rsquo; &hellip; Those are the things talked about all the time in confidence. It&rsquo;s just that some of those things we talked about have become public, and that&rsquo;s kind of created its own chapter in their recruitment.&rdquo;
