Potential Henderson transfer could impact Stillwater


Stillwater boys' basketball coach Dennis Bloom and football coach Scott Hoffman might soon be getting some good news for the next two years.

Cretin-Derham Hall monster sophomore Seantrel Henderson -- who is expected to become a top football recruit nationally in the next year -- is rumored to be considering a transfer from the St. Paul school.

According to published reports in the Pioneer Press, Henderson and one of his close friends at the school may both transfer, possibly to Totino-Grace.

If this actually happens, of course, SEC teams will no longer have to worry about a player who is said to be Ohio State's top recruiting target for football in 2010. Henderson is averaging 11.5 points per game this season on the Cretin basketball team.

Football's Second Season

In 30 years of evaluating high school football talent, I've never singled out an offensive lineman as the No. 1 player in the nation--until now.

Orlando Pace, Jonathan Ogden and Bill Fralic came close. But no cigar.

In my view, 6-7, 300-pound offensive lineman Seantrel Henderson of Crestin-Derham High School in St. Paul, Minn., is the No. 1 player in the class of 2010.

Henderson hails from the same school that produced Heisman Trophy winner Chris Wienke, American League batting chapion Joe Mauer and wide receiver Michael Floyd, who will be a freshman at Notre Dame next fall.

He has been offered by Wisconsin, Notre Dame, Florida, Iowa and Minnesota and USC will offer in May. He is only 15 years old. He has 4.7 speed, runs like a linebacker, has great feet, great athleticism, plays right and left tackle at times and looks thin at 300 pounds.

Barring injury, he will be a No. 1 choice in the NFL draft. Before his junior year, he will have 20 offers. Many schools got a jump on him because they noticed him while they were scouting Floyd last year. His teammate, lineman Joe Schafer, committed to Wisconsin--and Henderson is better than he is.

Hopefully another year of utter ineptitude from ND's offensive line will sway him away from there.. This guy is a complete beast.

Recruiting guru tabs Raiders lineman No. 1
Seantrel Henderson is ranked as the nation's top football player for 2010.

Last update: April 22, 2008

In 30 years of ranking high school football players across the country, Tom Lemming said he has never tabbed an offensive lineman as the top overall player in a class.

But that changed recently when Lemming, the leader of the pack when it comes to recruiting gurus and the author of Prep Football Report, named Cretin-Derham Hall offensive lineman Seantrel Henderson, a junior-to-be, as the No. 1 overall player in the country for the class of 2010.

"He's a cross between Jonathan Ogden and Orlando Pace," said Lemming, referring to two of the best offensive tackles in the NFL over the past decade. "I don't know if I've ever seen someone that good and that big at that age, who is that kind of an athlete."

He already has drawn intense recruiting interest from several schools, including Ohio State, Notre Dame and Minnesota.

Baby Shaq: Cretin-Derham Hall incoming junior offensive lineman Seantrel Henderson, considered by some coaches and scouts as the top college football prospect in the country in his class, measured 6 feet, 8 1/4 inches in his stocking feet, weighed 317 pounds, and had a 7-foot-2 wingspan at an AAU basketball event the other day in St. Louis.

Cretin-Derham Hall two-sport star Seantrel Henderson has colleges lining up for his services
Cretin's two-sport talent has colleges lining up for his services

Seantrel Henderson doesn't mind the stares. He knows people aren't used to seeing a muscular 16-year-old who stands 6 feet 7 and weighs 303 pounds.

Henderson's frame is solid, which leads to bystanders asking: "Do you play football or basketball?"

Henderson proudly responds: "Right now, I'm playing basketball."

Henderson is known more as Cretin-Derham Hall's eye-catching offensive tackle and defensive end, but basketball is his sanctuary this summer.

The coveted junior is playing for the Minneapolis-based Howard Pulley 17-under traveling team, an activity that keeps his mind off what is expected to be a relentless recruiting campaign by many of the nation's top NCAA Division I football programs.

Henderson, a backup power forward for Pulley, already has football scholarship offers from Minnesota, Notre Dame, Florida, UCLA, Ohio State, Wisconsin, Iowa, Boston College and North Carolina. That list likely will expand once schools can submit written offers after Sept. 1.

Henderson is far from making a decision and doesn't even like to talk about his college plans.

"Everywhere I go almost, people ask me where I'm going (to college)," Henderson said. "It gets a little aggravating sometimes."

His priority, Henderson said, is to keep his name and image in good standing as much as possible. Rumors that he was transferring to Totino-Grace before the fall semester and that he already had given the Gophers an oral commitment upset him.

Henderson denied both claims. The rumors made him more careful about what he says and how he handles himself in public.

"I know people are watching me a lot more," he said. "I have to grow up quicker and be more responsible for the choices I make. I know things might be happening fast for me, but I'm ready to handle it."

He sounds like he's a very mature young man. He's handling this a heck of a lot better than I think I could have at his age.

There a short little blurb and picture in the new Sports Illustrated of him. The feature is titled "Where Will They Be?" and gives a rundown of 15 teens that are the best in their respective sports and will make a splash in a couple of years (if they aren't already).

I'm not sure if this is online or not, but I can do a scan if that's allowed?
