The guys are here! Let's get started!

Buzzmaster

  (2:06 PM)

Mason is here first!

Stew (Salt Lake City UT)

Mason do you ever talk to any of the current Duke players?

Mason Plumlee

  (2:07 PM)

My brother, obviously. Other than that, probably Nolan the most.

Dan (King NC)

Hey Mason what are you looking forward to most at Duke

Mason Plumlee

  (2:07 PM)

Just being a part of a great team. The people ocming back, we should have a great season next year.

Daniel (Tobaccoville NC)

Mason Since you have moved from Indiana to North Carolina what is your favorite thing about North Carolina.

Mason Plumlee

  (2:08 PM)

Sweet Tea. That's about all I can think of.

Travis (Suffolk,VA)

Mason, what do you look forward to in the UNC-Duke rivalry.

Mason Plumlee

  (2:08 PM)

Winning.

Todd Reno NV

Mason what are your feelings on playing for the greatest coach in the game?

Mason Plumlee

  (2:08 PM)

Just looking forward to it. I'm not going to challenge him on anything. Just looking forward to being coached by him.

CridT

How did the careers of guys like Josh McRoberts, Greg Zoubek, and Shavlik Randolph effect your decision to go to Duke?

Mason Plumlee

  (2:09 PM)

It really didn't. Every player is a little different. I know Josh McRoberts had some family stuff going on at Duke and some off the court stuff effected him too.

Tee (Charlotte NC)

Mason, what position will you be playing at Duke?

Mason Plumlee

  (2:10 PM)

In the post. I don't really know. We have Ryan who is more of a face up guy. At least next year, I'll probably be inside.

Bob (Reno NV)

Mason I heard in an interview that you were looking foward to playing with John Wall can you explain.

Mason Plumlee

  (2:11 PM)

Yeah. I am just hoping that he comes to Duke. Duke Nation needs to recruit him. If we get him, I thikn we have a real good chance and Coach thinks we have a real good chance to win next year. He's videoing this interview.

Will Las Vegas

Hey Mason Do is you youger braothergoing to attend Duke?

Mason Plumlee

  (2:11 PM)

I don't know. It's really early in the process for him. He's still working on his game. Hopefully it's an option for him. We'll go from there.

Adam (Charleston, SC)

Mason, have you been working on your floor slap?

Mason Plumlee

  (2:12 PM)

No.

Thomas (Hickory NC)

Hey Mason I watched you on the Mcdonalds All American dunk contest. I loved the six point dunk idea,but have you ever made or attempted it before.

Mason Plumlee

  (2:12 PM)

Yeah, I made it a couple of times. It's on YouTube if you want to look at it.

Mason, Raleigh,NC

Why is Duke down right now?

Mason Plumlee

  (2:13 PM)

I think the standards are so high, to cal lit down after making it to the Sweet 16 is something you only say about a couple of programs. I wouldn't say down, just high standards.

Steve Durhan, NC

Do you think Duke is done with their recruiting class for this year.

Mason Plumlee

  (2:13 PM)

No. Hopefully we get John.

Ben (Charlotte, NC)

Mason, What, if any, do you consider your "go to" moves on the post? Cant wait to see you at Duke!

Mason Plumlee

  (2:14 PM)

Drop step.

Lano Hattiesburg MS

Mason how do you feel about carolina winning the national championship?

Mason Plumlee

  (2:14 PM)

Not very good. I didn't want them to win. They had a great team this year and they deserved it. Hopefully that will be us.

Chip (Augusta, GA)

Mason, do you think you can stop UNC's Cameron Indoor Stadium winning streak next year?

Mason Plumlee

  (2:15 PM)

Yeah. We should. I just think we have a good team next year. Plus, UNC has a lot of freshman so I don't think they'll be ready for it.

Carlson, WV

Mason, in your opinion right now, give me your top 5 teams for next season?

Mason Plumlee

  (2:16 PM)

Us, Kansas, UConn, Michigan State.

Mason Plumlee

  (2:16 PM)

Thanks for the support and questions.

Buzzmaster

  (2:16 PM)

Thanks Mason!

Buzzmaster

  (2:17 PM)

John Henson is up next!

Ricky, Washington DC

John Henson, do you think that the tar heels, who play faster than any team in the country have a style that fits your game?

John Henson

  (2:19 PM)

Yeah, I think it does. One of my things is running the court, which in their system running the court is how they want to start their break. That's a good fit for me, to get out on the break and finish.

Chap atlanta, ga

John..I love your game bro. What are you most looking forward to about being a Tar Heel?

John Henson

  (2:20 PM)

Probably the family, the winning, having a chance at a national championship. Being able to play at the highest levels in the ACC and being a team that everyone wants to beat.

Mike Thomas

John Henson, what position are you going to play.

John Henson

  (2:21 PM)

Coach told me I'll be playing the three. People have seen me play down low, I can play on the perimeter, but I haven't had a chance to show what I can do. I'll probably be playing both three and four, got to wait and see.

Tee (Charlotte NC)

John Henson, I chatted with Ed Davis this time last year also so I'll ask you the same question....What is it that you feel you bring to the table at North Carolina?

John Henson

  (2:21 PM)

I think I bring a versatilisty both offensively and defenseively. Being a great teammate.

Lloyd, Helena, Alabama

John, how much do you think UNC will rely on freshmen next year to carry the load? Will it be a rebuilding season?

John Henson

  (2:22 PM)

Of course you don't wnat to have a rebuilding season. We'll have a oyung team with a lot of experience, seeing that we won the national title. Hopefully tehy can step up and have a great year.

Dan (Charleston, SC)

John, Any chance John Wall comes with you to Carolina?

John Henson

  (2:23 PM)

As long as he doesn't go to Duke, I'm fine.

John (Charlotte, NC)

John Henson - How is your progression towards playing SF next season coming along? If you had to start playing tomorrow at UNC, would you see yourself playing more SF or PF?

John Henson

  (2:24 PM)

It's going real well. My shot is coming along. Ball handlling is coming along each day. Just getting better. Hopefully when I get to that level, I can step in and play that spot. Although, I still will get down low and get dirty.

JD (Charlotte, NC)

John, what made you choose to play at UNC?

John Henson

  (2:24 PM)

Probably me being from NC, also my grandparents live about an hour from Chapel Hill. THey've never seen me play. Also the campus and players and coaches were a good fit for me.

Adam (Charleston, SC)

John, how well do you know the current Tar Heel players?

John Henson

  (2:25 PM)

I know them pretty well. I'v ebeen down there three times. I've talked to a bunch of them. We're going toh ave a good team comaraderie. We all get along and have the same interests.

Travis Lexington, KY

Are you looking forward to playing in Rupp Arena as a freshmen? I hear its rabid.

John Henson

  (2:25 PM)

Yeah, I'm looking forward to that, being in a hostile environment. I hope we can come away with a win. I don't want to lose to Kentucky.

Tyler (Lexington, Ky)

John, what are your goals for weight training? How much weight would you like to gain by the beginning of the season?

John Henson

  (2:26 PM)

They've made it pretty clear that the weight room is going to be my second home. They're not worried about me putting on weight. I'm just trying to go to summer school and put on at least 15 pounds. That's what I'm hoping to do so I can come in and be a strong contributor next year.

Adam (Chico)

Have you been trying to get the juniors to come back this year?

John Henson

  (2:27 PM)

Not really. When you win a national championship and you have a chance to go in th efirst round, they're most likely not going to come back. They want to go out on top, like the last champoinship team did.

Jordan- Raleigh, NC

John Henson- Have you ever spoke with M.J. or any other famous UNC players?

John Henson

  (2:28 PM)

MJ walked past me when they played Duke. I've met some of the players. Felton, May, Howard. That's probably all I can think of.

Kenny Newport, KY

Who did you grow up rooting for? On a scale of 1 - 10 how bad do you dislike DUKE... me a 9.9999

John Henson

  (2:29 PM)

Actually, I grew up rooting for UNC. At one point I would cheer for Duke. I did like Duke to a point, more specifically Corey Maggette. On a scale of dislike, it's probalby a 7-8, but I'm sure it will strengthen next year.

Rusty Rich (DC)

John, did you have any good nicknames in HS that we can use at UNC for you?

John Henson

  (2:30 PM)

They call me JHook, because I would always throw my left handed jump hook.

Bryan, North Carolina

Which Plumlee will be more fun to dunk on, Miles or Mason?

John Henson

  (2:30 PM)

Since I've already dunked on Mason before, Miles is next inline.

Craig (Lexington, Ky)

John, What is your favorite flavored pop tart?

John Henson

  (2:30 PM)

S'mores.

Bob (Mount Airy, NC)

How much if any are you recruiting Wall?

John Henson

  (2:31 PM)

I'm throwing my thoughts in every once in a while. Ultimately, it's his choice. Whatever he does it will be his choice. That's how it will work. Unless he chooses Duke...

Jason (Richmond)

Have you spoken to Coach Williams since the title game?

John Henson

  (2:31 PM)

No, I talked to the assistant coaches, though.

John Henson

  (2:32 PM)

My dad talked to him today.

John Henson

  (2:32 PM)

Just keep showing support. Thanks for everything.

Buzzmaster

  (2:32 PM)

Thanks John Henson! John Wall is up next!

Nathan, Lexington, Ky

John, can you give us your current list of schools?

John Wall

  (2:38 PM)

Memphis, Kansas, Baylor, NC State, Kentucky Miami, Duke, Carolina, Florida.

Eric (Corbin, KY)

john have you thought about the possibilty of playing with demarcus cousins and xavier henry?

John Wall

  (2:38 PM)

Yes. I think that would be great to play with those guys. They're both great, but I have to look at the siuation and see what's best for me.

Mike (Denver, Colorado)

To John Wall: John, what would you say is the most important factor for you in making your college decision? i.e. Coaching style, playing close to home, TV exposure?

John Wall

  (2:39 PM)

Staying close to home, making sure I get along with the coach, the community of the school. You have to feel that you feel safea nd like a family.

Phil (Hopkinsville, KY)

Wall, you are one freakish dude, where did you learn to play like that?

John Wall

  (2:39 PM)

I don't know, really. I just thank God, he blessed me with that talent. The rest came from hard work and dedication.

JD (Glasgow, KY)

John Wall, I've seen videos of you using your left hand and I've heard you are ambidextrous. Is this natural or did you work to become this way?

John Wall

  (2:40 PM)

It's pretty natural. I really worked on my left hand a little more. I use both hands, but I think my left hand is stronger.

frank louisville,ky

what can you bring to a team and how big of a impact will you have on the game?

John Wall

  (2:40 PM)

I think I bring in being a great PG, as well as doing anytihng I can to help win a national title. I think I can hav ea great impact, Stay humble and hungry and does what the coach asks, I think I can have a bigt impact.

Phillip: (Lubbock, TX)

Is kentuckys still a strong possibility for you?

John Wall

  (2:41 PM)

Yes they are.

Patrick Lexington, Kentucky

When can we expect a decision ?

John Wall

  (2:41 PM)

I don't know yet. It's pretty tough.

Scott, Louisville, KY

John, How does the tremendous success that Coach Calipari has had putting point guards into the NBA factor into your decision?

John Wall

  (2:41 PM)

A little bit. THat's something I look at. Lok at the way the PGs have progressed along the years. Coach Cal has a good history with his point guards.

Tommyboy Bowling Green, Ky

John, would you say that playing in front of large crowds makes you play better or is there a intimidating factor there?

John Wall

  (2:42 PM)

No, when the lights are on, it's time to perform. I try to play to my best and show people that I'm supposed to play here.

mike: Paducah Kentucky

Is there any on player you want to go against?

John Wall

  (2:42 PM)

Not really. It doesn't matter. You play against anybody. You have to be ready for the challenge.

Adam (Charleston, SC)

Being from NC, are you a big fan of ACC basketball?

John Wall

  (2:43 PM)

Yeah. That's a great conference. THat's someting I'm looking at too, to play in a great conference. If you want to bea good player, you want to play against the best. The ACC, Big East, SEC, Big 12 they're all great conferences.

Jonathan (Lexington, Kentucky)

John, whats your greatest accomplishment to date?

John Wall

  (2:44 PM)

Playing for the Nike Hoops Summit. And playing in all these other things is great, but to put the USA across your chest, it's an honor.

Andrew (Birmingham, AL)

John, who are you most looking forward to playing with or against this week?

John Wall

  (2:45 PM)

It really doens't matter. I've played against most of them. It should be a great game if we play like we are supposed to. IT's basically the last high school even tbefore college, so just go out and have fun.

Billy (Vermont)

What do you believe is your greatest weakness?

John Wall

  (2:45 PM)

Jumpshot.

John Wall

  (2:45 PM)

Hey everyone, we've got a special treat! Xavier Henry, while not in Bristol today with the rest of the guys, will join us in the chat anyway! Send us your questions!

Buzzmaster

  (3:33 PM)

Xavier will be with us at 4 p.m. ET everyone.

Buzzmaster

  (3:59 PM)

Xavier is here!

John T. (Lexington, KY)

Xavier, what's the official list of top contender schools?

Xavier Henry

  (4:00 PM)

Kansas, Memphis and Kentucky.

Evan (Kansas)

Xavier, Does the fact that Sherron and Cole are returning next season impact your decision at all?

Xavier Henry

  (4:00 PM)

Not really. It just helps to know that we'll have a good team if we go to Kansas.

Daniel: (Lexington, KY)

Do you prefer playing in a fast paced offense or a set half court offense?

Xavier Henry

  (4:01 PM)

A fast pace. Everybody gets touches in a fast pace and none of your teammates get mad.

Chris, Louisville

So are you and your brother a package deal?

Xavier Henry

  (4:01 PM)

Yeah, it turned out that way. I think we're going to do that, go to the same school.

Chapel Hill, NC

Xavier, how important is it for you to play college basketball at a tradition rich program such as Kansas, where both of your parents played?

Xavier Henry

  (4:02 PM)

It wasn't a deciding factor, but it's kind of cool if your whole family went to the same school. It's not a deciding factor, but it's cool.

Mckenzie (Erlanger KY)

does calipari's offense affect your overall decision in any way?

Xavier Henry

  (4:03 PM)

It's a big factor, the style that he plays and how his team works. Now he has to start all over and the team is not going to play like it has. It will be different than what its been in Memphis.

Mark Columbus, OH

When do you think you will decide?

Xavier Henry

  (4:03 PM)

I haven't put a timetable on it, but it will be as quick as possible. After these games.

Aaron Sivori (Louisville, Ky)

What is the highest number of threes you have hit in a single game?

Xavier Henry

  (4:04 PM)

Honestly, I don't know. It was probably a lot! I know one time, this past year in Missouri, I think it was the "Show Me Classic" I think I had 10 or 12, or maybe it was 10 of 12.

Kevin (Louisville Ky)

Love your game! what do you base your decision on?

Xavier Henry

  (4:05 PM)

There are a lot of things. Me and my brother making sure we're happy where we're going. Keeping my family happy and keeping them together is what I'm basing my decision on.

Ross (Lawrence, KS)

How good of a relationship do you have with Self? Calipari?

Xavier Henry

  (4:06 PM)

We have real good relationships. They've been recruiting me over the years. They know my families well. We keep communicating all the time.

Lawrence, KS

Xavier- How important is being able to play on an established national championship caliber team for you now preparing to make your college decision?

Xavier Henry

  (4:06 PM)

It's real important. That's what you go to college for, to win it all and prepare yourself to be the best. I'm fortunate to have those schools looking at me.

Nathan (Bowling Green, Ky)

What NBA player would you say has a game similar to yours?

Xavier Henry

  (4:07 PM)

I don't know. I take different parts of a lot of people's games and make them my own.

Parker: Memphis, TN

Did you have much of a relationship with coach Pastner before Cal left for Kentucky?

Xavier Henry

  (4:08 PM)

Yeah. That was the main guy that was recruiting me, Coach Pastner. He's a positive guy and we have a good relationship.

Matt (Lexington, KY)

Do you plan on taking anymore visits before making a decision?

Xavier Henry

  (4:08 PM)

Yeah, I plan on taking one visit with my brother to Kentucky. We've never been out there. After that, we'll take a couple of days and probably make our decision.

Taylor (Baton Rouge, LA)

Have you already made your decision and you are waiting to announce or are you still struggling with making a decision?

Xavier Henry

  (4:09 PM)

I'm still deciding where I'm going to go. If I knew where I was going, I would have made the announcement a long time ago. I'm not trying to hold out on anybody.

Jeff (Asheville, NC)

What player did you most admire growing up?

Xavier Henry

  (4:09 PM)

My brother. Always getting to see him play. He taught me a lot.

Brian (Chicago)

Will you wait to hear from the NCAA on CJ's status next year before making a decision?

Xavier Henry

  (4:10 PM)

Yeah. CJ's a big part of my decision. I'm waiting to hear about him before I decide where I'm going.

stephen (Dallas,TX)

Xavier, you once pinned one of my lay-ups on the backboard so hard that I thought the ball was going to pop. What are you most excited for going into next season?

Xavier Henry

  (4:11 PM)

Just seeing how good they can prepare me to be for the next level. Seeing how they can take my game and being with my brother the whole year and my family.

Rod, Los Angeles, CA.

Do you get tired of all the recruiting and hype?

Xavier Henry

  (4:11 PM)

After a while it gets boring. Just stagnate. I'm just waiting for it to be over with so I can go on and go to college and further my career.

Ryan (Lexington, KY)

How much does Jodie Meek's decision to stay in the draft or come back next year affect your opinion of coming to UK? Could you all play well together?

Xavier Henry

  (4:12 PM)

That would. That changed the team and the whole outlook of the team. I'd have to look at that if he decides to stay in or play at Kentucky. We'd have to talk about it.

Xavier Henry

  (4:13 PM)

Thank you for following me!
