[...] At this point, Tressel should do nothing more than let Henderson know the offer from this winter still stands and leave it at that. If he wants to be a Buckeye, he’ll be a Buckeye. We’ve got a national championship hunt in the making and the last thing we need is a Santrel Henderson, daddy-fueled soap opera. [...]

Prized recruit Seantrel Henderson didn’t show up last week for orientation at Southern California, so new football coach Lane Kiffin and three assistants took a private jet to St. Paul, Minn., to make sure the 6-foot-8, 330-pound offensive tackle was still committed.

From Bob Hunter of the Columbus Dispatch on June 25…

With USC facing NCAA penalties that include no bowl appearances for two seasons and the loss of 30 scholarships over three years, it has been speculated that Henderson might reconsider his commitment to the Trojans and that Ohio State and the University of Miami might have another shot at landing him.

Sean Henderson, Seantrel’s father, had no comment for the St. Paul Pioneer Press, and Seantrel didn’t return phone messages to the paper.

As info …. New off season poll at ESPN is out today. They rank the Buckeyes at number 2 and Oregon at number 4. Could we see a re-match of the Rose Bowl teams in the NC next year. Interesting thought.

Hey HD. Thanks for stopping by. Sorry about the blog roll. I’m afraid it’s long over due for an update. I’ve got you up there now.

I think Miami will be a good game but I think the Buckeyes can shut them down. No question 2010 has the potential to be a 12-0 season.

I’m with you Jim…

The 2010 class is solid with headliners RB Roderick Smith and WR James Louis, and my personal darkhorse potential superstar WR Tyrone Williams.

That being said, the 2010 team definitely has a 100% legit shot at 12-0 and a trip to the BCS title game if TP progresses and matures even more, as he appeared to do after the Purdue game.

The games that concern me the most that we could potentially lose, but are games we really almost have to win to continue to prove ourselves and become a true national power again are vs. Miami-FL, @ Wisconsin, and @ Iowa.

Call me overconfident but the other 9 games don’t appear to be games we should have much to be worried about–Of course, the same can be said of the Purdue game in 2009…

Hey Annapolis, add my blog to your Buckeye links if you get a minute.
I just added you to mine!

Thanks,
HD, aka CEO of The BlockONation

Believe me Tom, my back up here in the Cape feels your pain. And don’t worry if you didn’t get enough, there’s more on the way.

I’m not at all concerned about recruiting class. It’s not the 2010 recruiting class I’m excited about, it’s the 2010 team I’m excited about. Ohio State will be chasing national titles for at least the next two years.

While the Buckeyes may not have landed the glamor recruits, they’ve got talent and they will continue to develop the talent they have.

As for Henderson, wait and see how this all shakes out before you get too excited.

TIB,
Ok, I just dug out from over 2′ of snow, so if this reply sounds like a lawyer in a cross-examination, blame it on my sore back. Your “its hard to argue with success” comment reflects an “ends justify the means” approach to UCS’s recruiting tactics. Are you kidding me? I couldn’t disagree more. I mean USC has football tradition, national exposure, and a local recruting base to draw from that’s as good as any in the country. Do they really need to violate, or give the appearance of playing fast-and-loose with NCAA regulations? C’mon – what kind of message does this send high school kids (the ones paying attention anyway) that it’s ok to break the rules as long as you don’t get caught, or can weasel out if you do? Perhaps naive considering the lessons conveyed by the lying skunks in Congress, but how does that message translate in the classroom or on the gridiron?
As far as Surfer Pete, yes he skedaddled before national signing day, but he paid visits to all of USC’s top recruits including Seantrel Henderson and his family so his signature is still on all the recruits. Kiffin just sealed the deal – to his slimy credit. As to Pete knowing about sanctions – maybe – but my gut tells me his job was getting much tougher with the growing parity in the PAC10. The decade of dominance by USC bloom was off that rose. Oh yeah, and the $$ offered by NFL…no matter what you read of hear, it almost always comes down to $$.
I do share your concerns with the trends in B10 recruiting however…but until Florida weather comes to Columbus in January, or the steel mills reopen in Youngstown with the reemergence of industry in the Midwest, it’s a distrubing trend that will probably continue. But when your conference can beat 4 top 15 teams in bowl games — I’m still smilin’!

Jim, You have a valid point. The Pac10 certaintly did not show up to that game.

I am the furthest thing from a USC fan or their program. So, it is safe to say ……. I would not get excited to see anything positive happen to that program. The only thing that excites me about USC …… Is not having to see Pete Carroll patrol the sidelines any longer. I feel sorry for the Seattle Seahawks organization and players. His sophmore antics won’t go over well in the pro’s. I will be excited when I see their corrupt program get exposed.
