LAWRENCE, Kan.—Looking at the Kansas basketball team's roster of freshmen might require a pinch just to see if it’s a dream.

According to Rivals.com, guard Xavier Henry was the eighth overall recruit to come out of high school, guard Elijah Johnson 24th overall and forward Thomas Robinson 31st overall. Center Jeff Withey is the eighth-ranked center in college, according to Scout.com. Guard C.J. Henry has not had much basketball exposure recently, but spent a few years in minor league baseball.
