Interesting that the pros know him by name already.

I'm not sure I don't want him on the hardwood

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).

Future Buckeye wrestler Logan Stieber and his brother Hunter are included in that article if you read a little further.

Xavier Henry dropped in 36 points against Howard Pulley. His strong scoring effort was moot thanks to a last-second game-winning bucket from 6-foot-8 offensive lineman Seantrel Henderson.

A pair of prospects look to reverse trend and become two-sport stars Story Highlights

Seantrel Henderson is a 6-7, 305-pound offensive tackle/power forward
Marlon Brown is a 6-5, 205-pound wide receiver/small forward
Starring in two sports is now difficult thanks to paranoid millionaire coaches

NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C. -- Seantrel Henderson expects the subject to arise this school year when college coaches are officially allowed to finally contact him. Marlon Brown, a year older than Henderson, already has made up his mind.

Henderson, from St. Paul, Minn., and Brown, from Memphis, Tenn., are two of the better players at this weekend's Nike Peach Jam. Coaches from across the nation would love to have the 6-foot-7, 305-pound Henderson patrolling the paint or the 6-5, 205-pound Brown on the wing. But another set of coaches covets Henderson and Brown even more. Henderson, a rising junior at Cretin-Derham Hall, may be the top offensive tackle prospect -- and possibly the top overall prospect -- in the class of 2010. Brown, a senior at Harding Academy, is ranked as the nation's No. 2 receiver in the class of 2009 by Rivals.com.

And each wants to do double duty in college. "That's what I want to do," said Henderson, a gentle giant who usually gets his way on the field and on the court. Brown, meanwhile, said the programs that stay in the hunt for his services will be the ones that will allow him to play both sports.

Henderson, meanwhile, is a road grader on the football field and a mighty road block on the court. Opponents can't box him out, and they seem shocked when they realize he can jump and run like a player half his size. Henderson, the sixth man on the Howard Pulley Panthers traveling team, spent much of Saturday night guarding Oklahoma City, Okla., star Daniel Orton, a 6-10 rising senior who is mulling offers from most of the top 25. While Henderson only finished with six points and five rebounds, he made the game-winning bucket. Orton finished with two points and one rebound.

Henderson said he loves both sports equally, though the affair with hoops did begin first. "I started playing basketball in third grade," Henderson said. "I started playing football in fourth grade. I went from there."

By Bill Kurelic...Henderson states he has an OSU offer (along with about 8+ more). States he does not know much about the Buckeyes but will probably visit.

Let the Henderson hype begin



It's customary for big time players to grace the fields at Cretin-Derham Hall. But nobody's as big (literally) as junior lineman Seantrel Henderson. At 16 years old, he's 6-foot-8 and is more than 300 pounds. Just how big is that? Only two current NFL players are bigger.

"A lot of people say that I'm fast, quick and things like that," Henderson said about himself. "Good with my feet and strong off the ball."

Seantrel believes he has a mental advantage over every opponent because of his size. He outweighs them and towers over everyone. But he's not just a bulldozer. Seantrel is a solid football player with unlimited potential.

"I think he can be as good as he wants to be," said John Alt, lineman coach at Cretin-Derham Hall and a former NFL player. "His feet, that's what I look at, his feet and hips are absolutely perfect at this point at the high school level."

Seantrel's great size and playing ability has obviously gained a lot of early attention. In fact, he's considered to be the top prospect in the entire nation for the class of 2010.

"I really didn't expect that when I found out about it, but I was really grateful and happy that they did that," Henderson said.

"He's definitely as good as we've had, but you just can't tell me, as much as I like Seantrel, you just can't tell me there's not another of him in Florida, or Texas, or Ohio," admitted Mike Scanlan, head coach at Cretin-Derham Hall. "So, some knucklehead who is sitting his underwear in his basement declares him the number one recruit in the country, what an incredible amount of pressure to put on a young man."

He must be dealing with the pressure ok for now. Seantrel already holds scholarships from Minnesota, Florida and Ohio State. And the big lineman should continue to get some more big offers in the next two years.

2010 OT Henderson's recruitment just beginning
Friday, September 5, 2008
Posted by Bill Kurelic

Tim Brewster has made 2010 OT Seantrel Henderson a top target, but he'll have plenty of competition.

The recruiting timeline in the Midwest is far different than it is in the South, and, to a lesser extent, the West. Most of the top prospects in Big Ten country select their college before September arrives, and this year is no exception.

That is why, as the college football season kicks off each year, recruiting fans from the Big Ten region are often just as interested in the top junior prospects as they are the seniors. Monday was the first day written scholarship offers could be sent to juniors.

Offensive lineman Seantrel Henderson (St. Paul, Minn./Cretin-Derham) is a strong candidate for the No. 1 Class of 2010 prospect in the Midwest. Recruiters were clamoring over Henderson early in his sophomore season. By the end of the campaign Henderson had helped his team win 13 straight games and a spot in the state championship contest.

Henderson has the entire package. At 6-foot-8 and 310 pounds, he has prototypical offensive tackle size. Henderson can bench press 300 pounds and is athletic, averaging 12 points and seven rebounds per game on the Cretin-Derham basketball team his sophomore season. He's also in good shape academically with a 3.0 GPA.

Minnesota coach Tim Brewster has made landing Henderson a priority. He made sure the talented lineman received his scholarship offer very quickly but wasn't alone. By Sept. 3 Henderson had written offers in hand from Minnesota, Notre Dame, Wisconsin and Michigan.

The Gophers are far from a lock to land the state of Minnesota's No. 1 class of 2010 prospect.

"Coach Brewster told us he really wants to keep Seantrel at home," said Sean Henderson, Seantrel's father. "He said he is going to do everything he can. I told him he's going to have to try real hard. We are waiting for an offer from USC. That's who we like."

Ohio State, Oklahoma, UCLA, North Carolina, Michigan State, North Carolina and Iowa are just some of the many other schools making their pitch for Henderson. It may not be long until Pete Carroll and the Trojans join in.

9/9

Seantrel received numerous offers on or around 9/1, as expected (notables listed: tOSU, ND, Michigan, Minnesota). He talks about being friends with former ND OL Matt Carufel and how Matt wouldn't recommend ND for his college destination. Henderson said he'll consider each school for its academic reputation, football program, how he fits in with the players and coaches and the location of the school.

Wow!
Carafel's statement made public 2nd hand is harmful PR that CW will have to battle before the rest of the fruit rots on that poisoned tree.

I would love to see Henderson in S&G and believe that when Minnesota gets into the B10 season, Henderson will feel the pressures of "State Loyalty" ala Mobley, but like other Minnesota elite athletes will see the big
"cough" BCS bowls, NFL draft "cough" picture and choose Columbus as his college destination.

Carufel has been anything but quiet about his dislike of the Irish program...

Henderson is going to be a huge national recruit and will likely make his own decision though... And ND's depth chart will look as good as any in the country for early p.t....
