One of the toughest things I had to do when compiling this list was determine how to rank the one-and-done players who have come through Lawrence in the recent decade. Henry was KU’s first one-and-done player of the era, and he also may be one of the most underrated players of Bill Self’s tenure

His recruitment was a bit of a rollercoaster, with him originally committing to play for John Calipari at Memphis. When Calipari left for Kentucky, Henry decided to commit to Kansas, where both his mother and father played.

His college career started out hot, as he scored 27 points in his first game, the most by a KU freshman in his debut.
