In the Michael Floyd recruiting derby, Ohio State was on the Cretin-Derham Hall wide receiver's final list of colleges before he committed to Notre Dame. It's important to note that Ohio State coach Jim Tressel, as much as he wanted Floyd, never paid a personal visit to his St. Paul high school.

Tressel, however, made a recent trip to Cretin-Derham Hall in pursuit of another athlete, sophomore offensive lineman Seantrel Henderson.

"He found his way in here the other day, just to show the flag," Raiders football coach Mike Scanlan said Tuesday. Other schools showing their flags to the 6-7, 305-pound Henderson include Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin and Notre Dame. Yes, the scholarship offers are pouring in.

The kid has grown two inches in the past year and a doctor told him he might hit 6-9.

"He has no fat on his body. He could carry 350 and not be fat. He's just starting to lift weights; this is all natural," Kline said.
