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.
