Cretin-Derham Hall senior Seantrel Henderson will announce his college choice on Wednesday, and the Gophers are one of the contenders.
SUPER PREPS 2010 Seantrel Henderson of Cretin-Derham Hall, one of the highest-rated recruits in the nation, will end the speculation this week.
As the final days of the college football recruiting season began melting away into the final hours, Gophers coach Tim Brewster was a man in a hurry. During one 24-hour period last week, he made home visits to recruits in Houston, Detroit, Indianapolis and Miami.
"We're in the home stretch of this thing, and we're trying to bring those horses home," Brewster said from Miami.
Amid all the scurrying from time zone to time zone, however, Brewster knows that the biggest prize of all is right in his back yard, living close enough to TCF Bank Stadium to ride a bicycle to campus.
That prize recruit was in Miami a few days later, also on recruiting business. Cretin-Derham Hall tackle Seantrel Henderson, who has his pick of the top programs in the country, left his Minneapolis home Friday to visit the University of Miami.
