You know more than I do, about the relationship between Floyd/Carufel, the friendship and influence factors there.
I agree that each recruit is different and does make there own decision. That is why your comparison of influence between Floyd and Carufel vs. Henderson and Carufel is not as compelling as it should be.

He talks about being friends with former ND OL Matt Carufel and how Matt wouldn't recommend ND for his college destination.

Maybe I am reading too much into the quote, i.e. that he "is friends with Carufel" rather than a "that's you, I'm different" dismissal ala Floyd of Carufel's counsel.
To dismiss or interpret "being friends" as "I doubt it has any effect whatsoever," strains the context of Henderson's update.
