Seantrel Henderson

I'd take Seantrell in a heartbeat. He didn't say no to Kill, he said no to Brewster. He's a talented kid (and CDH grad) who might be better off near home & with a tough-love coach like Kill.

I've never taken as much heat on this board before on a topic, so I can assume I'll take more on this. Seantrell did say no to both Brewster and Kill. Brewster in recruiting out of High School and Kill when he transferred from USC to Florida.

The guy has amazing talent and if he leaves his attitude and troubles in Florida, it would be great for us. I don't see it yet, but Kill is an amazing person and can turn peoples lives around. This is a high risk, high payoff proposition. A newer coach on the verge of great things might set the program back years if this is a bust.

Are you saying Kill recruited him to Northern Illinois in 2010 after USC's sanctions were announced? He was already playing at U of Miami, before Kill was ever named coach here.
 

I heard he's transferring and bring Walker Lee Ashley with him.

The last I heard Ashley is pissing his life away, smoking dope daily and working as a clerk at fantasy gifts.
Must like to get a lot of free porn. He and Jewhan Edwards must run in the same circles as it sounds like Edwards fist beat up
Ashley's face fighting over a rat.
 


The Walker Lee Ashley comparisons are silly. It makes people look incredibly stupid to bring up Seantrel's name with Walker Lee Ashley's name. Seantrel has already accomplished a lot more than WLA and probably more than any OL on our entire staff.

He hasn't lived up to expectations but he has started a handful of games and played in a lot of games his first two seasons in college football.

WLA is like Kevin Whaley. Seantrel Henderson isn't much different than Stoud or Hageman.

He never attended USC.

He was a freshman two years ago at Miami (Kill was at Northern Illinois) and he was a SO last year (Kill's first year).

Seantrel turned down the U and Brewster. I am not entirely sure that staying at Miami isn't the best thing for him. The culture down there is a bit scary but if you're immature, you can get into a lot of trouble at the U as well. I think it would be in Seantrel's best interests to work through this difficult situation at Miami. My point is that he's gotten himself into the dog house and I think a player can really grow from working yourself out of that situation. Furthermore, he is still an NFL talent and will likely need to be able to deal with the dangers of Miami, because those dangers exist everywhere in the NFL. Golden also runs a tight ship and won't cater to him. If he wants to play in Miami, he'll need to grow up.

That said, I'd obviously welcome him with open arms. He's an elite talent, he was fantastic his freshman season at Miami (decent at times last year). He'd help us.

Haha. That would cut down on the bill for Excedrin if he left. Would Kill even want him? Talent might not be worth the headache.
Kris Humphries part II.

I think it's a little different than Kris Humphries because of the fact that if Seantrel is too much of a headache, you just put him on the bench. Monson couldn't bench Humphries, he had our program by the proverbial stones. Seantrel would just come here and either grow up and help our program or fade away into Bolivia.

Anytime a coach thinks a player has him by the balls he should get rid of him. A team has no shot when a player is calling the shots, at least at the college level.. I think the fact that Monson could not get either "star" Minnesota player to do it his way just demonstrates he was completely out of his depth at this level.

I agree, I just think it's easier for a Coach to get sucked into that situation in college basketball than college football.
 


It's about time for us to move on and be over Henderson.
 

Sorry Parski, had to post this.

Seantrel Henderson thinks he's an underdog. The kid had some adversity, but he was having issues before that stuff was happening. Hopfuly he figures it out, but I ind i hard to see the underdog in someone who was #1 prospect and played games with his recruiting. Leave it to the four-letter network to write something like this.

An overwhelming sense of dread fills my stomach whenever I see this name written. Of all the great athletes from Certain Derham, Henderson was the best football player with the most potential. Michael Floyd and Chris Winke paled in comparison. This is no underdog story, this is a disappointing story that fills me with shame and regret.

Huh? What did you do to deserve the shame and regret?

I'm pulling for the kid. Hope he has a solid season and gets a pro shot. Certainly a talented kid.

Shame because I thought kids who went to my high school with me were of better character and work ethic. And regret that things in general couldn't have gone differently. Though I personally don't have anything I'm regretful of in this particular situation.

I hope he does well certainly. And I'm pulling for him. I've just been disappointed with him so far, I'm not sure I can get my hope up again.
 

It is difficult to celebrate this guy. Not just because he spurned his hometown team (twice) but because he has wasted, to this point, the talent that few possess.

If he turns it around, stays clean, works hard and realizes his potential, good for him. I do not root against him, but I can't pretend to celebrate his self made failure to this point.

I stopped paying close attention to him after he chose not to be a Gopher, but didn't he have a serious back surgery that was typically career ending? Might that have something to do with him not living up to his potential thus far? It could very well be partly due to his own attitude too, just trying to be fair. Maybe he didn't even end up needing the surgery. Like I said, I haven't been paying close attention to him.

He was only out two weeks from the surgery...don't think it was career threatening. The issue with the surgery is that Seantrel didn't go through the school and team doctors. Again, he was difficult and had to do it his way. He was under a 1 game suspension at the time, so he missed two weeks of fall practice and was suspended for the first game in 2011.
 

A few months later, Henderson went through perhaps the most trying time in his life. In late July 2012, just before the start of fall practice, his best friend was shot to death back home in Minnesota. - from ESPN

I don't think I've heard about this before. Does anyone know any details?

Get going, because the "ton of" stuff is too general and way too easy.
