'10 MN OL Seantrel Henderson (Miami Commit)

[irishmarine]

our offensive and defensive lines are still too weak to be talking about national championships. teams run all over us and we can run against a paper thin line. we are greatly improving week by week but until we have a dominant line we cant really be put up there with the big boys.

 

[irishmarine]

in a year or two i think we could have that key part of it though. so dont think im bashing or hating. we just arent there yet. we need some big lineman and if we get nixon or people of his caliber then i think we will have what we need but until we can run and stop the run we will be a step behind

 

[SoCalDomer]

Will not be coming to the Pitt game b/c his high school team is in the playoffs and plays Friday night. Has rescheduled for the Syracuse game.

 

[irishmarine]

wow if hes here for the syracuse game he might commit on the spot. we shoukld run up the score against them and hopefully his friend mike will have a huge day

Damn glad that he had to change his plans .... didn't want him in the stands watching the Irish "melt down" against Pitt this past w/e!

True, but I do think it would have been good for him to have been there because his buddy Michael Floyd had a monster game (again) and he would have seen first hand how badly we need him on the offensive line. He would have come away knowing that he'd be our starter at tackle next year!

If the only factor recruits use in deciding on a school is good wins versus bad losses, ND would not have had the #1 class in 2007. Nor would 6-6 Alabama have landed the #2 class. In fact, USC would never have turned recruiting around because they were floundering in mediocrity during the 90's. Perrenial powerhouses would still be powerhouses.

heres an article featuring Henderson, and Barr among others. i would like to see our name on a few more of these players college possibilites, especially ones like Robert Woods, Robert Crisp, and Matt Elam. this article says something about matt elams brother playing at ND or something, but then again it also says he has already committed to Flordia. Urban liar probably told him he could start right now on his team.

I understand your point, 4ever. But remember last year when Floyd commited after we lost big at home.

 

[IrishAddiction]

Come on Seantrel, you know we want u here big man! Come and play for a national champion!

 

[Clausen2Kamara]

We need him definetely...He should be the top target for us..He is the kind of player that will come in and start as a true freshman. I'm just glad we got Lombard who should be another 5 Star OT next year!!

 

[irishmarine]

i would love to have the problem of having two top tackles commit to us and trying to figure out where to put them

Great read! Keep the links coming...

 

[JeremyND07]

great news! Crazy that we are hearing more news on the 2010 class then we are 2009. We still need to finish up strong this year. We should get a top QB next year too if we start winning again!!! Should be top 5 easy!

 

[IHateMarkMay]

So I was cruising the internet on scout.com. Looking at 2010 Irish prospects. And i saw that we haven't officially offered Seantrel Henderson. Is this true or just a typo. I figured we would be all over this guy and he liked us and all. Any clearification would be great.

 

[sportallyr]

I believe that's a typo. Rivals has him listed with an offer, which I believe he received in writing back in September of last year.

We seem to have a great shot at this kid. Hope he clicks with the new O-Line coach and I hope that he sees progress this year on the field from our O-Line.

 

[NDOM]

This kid looks pretty damn good if you ask me.

 

[irishmarine]

pretty damn good? he looks like a freakin monster out there. i hope his boy mike is in his ear all year about coming to notre dame. with the one tackle already commited it would be huge to lock him up for the other side

 

[WabashFalcon]

I would love to lock up his side...

*crickets chirp*

Lowers head and walks away.

 

[NDsuperfan09]

I have heard he would be ours if Weis job security wasn't such a big question mark. If we handle business on the field this year he should be in South Bend.

 

[irishmarine]

i can understand that

Holy crap, I see a weird situation coming. We having a 9-3 season slightly disappointing but having the #1 recruiting class really dependant on charlie staying. What would we do, from what i got this season is one or gone for charlie but I think an awesome recruiting class could give him some margin for error perhaps.

dicey situation for sure. i hope we're not on the fence next season. we need to go take care of business on the field and hopefully all the mistakes that were made in tight games will not be made next season. as Neutered says, pups become dogs and this team showed in the bowl that it can play some football.

 

[Stalking_Eagle]

I expect us to take no prisoners this year. I saw a new team at the bowl game, I think the trip was more than just a win.

hopefully charlie stays upstairs where he can see the field and make adjustments quicker. also, i think the team will perform better w/o his presence on the sidelines. leave it to corwin and company to provide positive energy on the sidelines. if we start blasting people like we did hawaii i believe the recruiting snowball that follows will be enormous.

Charlie is NOT going not going to coach from upstairs, can we please end these discussions

i refuse to end this discussion b/c in my opinion i think he should coach upstairs. you may have a different opinion and that's fine but i think the team is best served if he is in the box. sorry to have a different opinion than you pro but that's why we have this forum.

FWIW, I agree with tko. Weis himself admitted it was "night and day". In addition, by all accounts Corwin Brown did a spectacular job working the sidelines and with the halftime speech.

i just think charlie has a certain "presence" on the sidelines. the team in hawaii seemed to play free and loose with charlie in the box. i think the energy created by brown and others on the sidelines translated into relaxed play on the field and i hope that trend continues this upcoming season. i could also see bryant young rallying the troops as well on the sidelines. i don't think it's a bad thing if weis is a head coach that coaches up in the box. if the team can have the most success under that scenario then why not, that's all.

now, let's get back to seantrel and getting his big frame on board for 2010.
