'10 MN OL Seantrel Henderson (Official Offer)

[RB07OSU]

I agree that his list will change over time but it is still a surprise to see us in his finalists...I've always felt Seantrel has been enamored with USC, but hopefully he will enjoy his OSU visit. Perhaps this is why we have not offered Donnal or Shoefner? Perhaps we are in better standing with Henderson, Koujando, and Linder than we thought. If we manage to pull this off, we will have the two most dominant tackles in the country with Henderson and Norwell.

The #2 pick in the draft last year played in a spread offense. Further, out of the 4 OTs picked in Round 1, 2 of them played in spread offenses. If you're talented, scouts will find you.

Boom!!! Roasted.

Doc Tressel should get some credit because I do believe he recuits the state of Minnesota.

Hmm lets hope we can get him to visit for the USC game.

Did you really just use Tom Lemming as a viable source for recruiting information? Someone ding this cat...

I thought it was related to Seantrel if not feel free to delete.

Can we ding him anyway?

Why not always refer to Lemming? With that stellar top 100 list the guy should be the #1 source for recruiting.

Daily Nugz for Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

Check back later today for a preview of the Gophers' tilt on October 17th against Penn State. In meantime, eat up:
(1) Here is the latest twist in the recruitment of Cretin-Derham Hall's Seantrel Henderson. ESPN has reported (follow the link, scroll down or search for "Seantrel") that Florida, Ohio State and USC are going to be Henderson's finalists because they compete for championships and put offensive linemen in the NFL.
This is what I had previously thought would doom Brewster's recruitment of Seantrel. Although Brewster has great NFL connections, and now has an offensive line coach with his kid at CDH to pester him with NFL experience, the proof is in the pudding, and the pudding hasn't been cooked yet in Minneapolis where it concerns Brewster's ability to place players in the pros. It's only July, however, and surely isn't final. Let's not forget Henderson made these comments in South Carolina, at a basketball camp, and made them to a Florida Gators affiliated website.
Bottom line here: Henderson will announce on Signing Day. Minnesota's record this fall will have a lot to do with where he signs to play football. If the Gophers go 6-6, well, then we can expect to see Seantrel in TCF in 2010 playing against the Gophers - take your pick whether he suits up in red and gold, or scarlet and grey.

Didn't know USC was playing at Minny in 2010.

A mid-afternoon update

Greetings.

Just got off the phone with Cretin-Derham Hall football coach Mike Scanlan. I called him after reading Doogie?s blog today. Doogie quoted gatorcountry.com, an ESPN affiliate Web Site, with Seantrel Henderson saying his choices were, ?Florida, USC and Ohio State. ? it?s going to be one of those three. They play for championships and they put a lot of people in the NFL.?

If this is true, it would be a disappointment for the Gophers. Minnesota coach Tim Brewster has done a good job of recruiting top in-state talent, but the top-ranked in-state player has gotten away. In February Bryce McNeal opted for Clemson, but five of the next highest-ranked players by Rivals.com in the state opted for the Gophers.

In 2008 Michael Floyd went to Notre Dame and Willie Mobley opted for Ohio State, but the Gophers got two of the next four top-ranked state players.
As of this afternoon I hadn?t yet reached Henderson. But I did call Scanlan, who told me he had talked to his star tackle player just yesterday. Scanlan said Henderson told him he hadn?t yet narrowed down his list that far. Indeed, Scanlon said it was his understanding that the Gophers were still on the list and that Henderson was shooting to narrow his list to five by the start of school next month.

Henderson, of course, has a lot of time to make up his mind. Like Doogie said, Henderson could change his mind a bunch of times before a decision has to be made. And you can bet, as the top-ranked player in the nation by Rivals, Henderson will hear from a lot of folks before that decision is made.
