    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">If C.J. Henry plays college basketball -- and right now that's a big if -- he'll do so at the alma mater of both his mother and father: Kansas University.

    Henry, a 6-foot-3, two-time all-state guard from Putnam City (Okla.) High and the son of ex-Jayhawks Carl Henry and Barbara Adkins, on Wednesday orally committed to walk on at KU.

    There's a huge catch, however.

    Henry, who is one of the top baseball shortstops in the country and believed to be a certain first-round pick in the June 7 major-league baseball draft, won't set foot on KU's campus if indeed he's tapped in the early rounds by MLB.

    "If anything crazy happens with the draft, I will be coming to KU to play basketball," said Henry, who Baseball America predicts will be tapped 16th in Round One -- a slot that would guarantee at least a $1 million signing bonus.

    "Crazy" in Henry's eyes means falling past the first few rounds, where the bonus money still can reach six figures.

    "My name could slip. I could fall to the sixth, seventh round. If so, I'd come to college and play both sports," Henry said of basketball and baseball.

    If he doesn't slip that far, college appears to be out of the question.</div>
