Seantrel Henderson Released From LOI

Well, that didn't take long.
Seantrel Henderson, the nation's second best recruit from the class of 2010 according to Rivals.com, won't be a Trojan after all. Henderson, who committed to USC in February before waiting a month to actually sign his letter of intent to play for the Trojans due to concerns over possible sanctions, was reportedly in South Florida over the weekend visiting with Miami and Randy Shannon. Paul Dee must be wetting his pants as of now.
Since the NCAA announced its findings regarding its investigation into a "lack of institutional control" at USC in early June, which resulted in a 2-year bowl ban and a loss of 30 scholarships over 3 years, Henderson has been vacillating between fulfilling his commitment to join Lane Kiffin's program or head elsewhere. The possibility of missing out on a bowl game for two years was just too much for the Minnesota native to handle.
As a result, to satisfy Henderson's desire to leave for what he perceives to be greener pastures, USC has released him from his letter of intent according ESPN's Joe Schad, who was informed of this earlier today by Kiffin.
"As of 1:30 p.m, we are releasing Seantrel Henderson out of his national letter of intent with zero penalties and no restrictions," Kiffin said in a statement. "Seantrel has been great through the whole process and we wish him the best of luck in his decision."
Coachspeak aside, this remains a small victory for USC. Even more so in the wake of the NCAA sanctions, USC remains a "big boy" program reserved for athletes with killer instincts and intense competitive spirits, who are driven and motivated to become the best players possible. The right players for this program are not, however, motivated by the possibility of playing in one or two bowl games, as Kiffin echoed the other day.
"I hope in the end Seantrel sees what every other freshman in this class has... that one or two games isn't why you choose a university," Kiffin said. "They didn't come to SC because of a bowl game the first or second year. They came here because of the education; they came here because of the football program."
If Seantrel has a problem in missing out on a bowl game and seeing the big picture in all of this, than USC probably isn't the best fit for him in the first place. The USC football program does one thing better than any other school in America - getting players to the NFL. Just look at the number of draft picks that hail from this university. It's staggering. That's why you come to 'SC. If this guy can't see that, it's easy to see why Kiffin and company don't want him in the locker room much longer. And you wonder why he was released?

This is perfect
If he does end up at Miami it will put a spotlight on the corruption of Paul Dee and his cabal.

hoenestly, this is hysterical...
we are going to win more games and play in just as many meaningful bowl games in the next two years as Miami
At USC we're not snobs, we're just better than you.
Wow. He was probably the 2nd best prospect out of HS in the last 4 or 5 years
Selfishly as an FSU fan, I hope he can’t enroll at Miami immediately.

On a side note
Did FSU recruit Seantrel out of HS? If he’s re-opening his recruitment, could he end up in Tallahassee?
Follow me on twitter @Joey_Kaufman
We did and no, he's a pick between Miami and OSU
But, we had heard he was purposefully tanking summer school so USC would deny admission, like UM did to Dorsey, making him immediately eligible to enroll somewhere else, no matter the status of the release. Maybe he tanked too much?

I don't mean to troll (and delete this if it causes too much trouble)
But is everyone from SC believing these sanctions won’t cripple SC for the 2011-2015 seasons, or are they just not willing to discuss it? Looks to me like SC could have 50-55ish scholarship players in a year sometime soon.

Yes, everyone at USC believes that we will barely skip a beat
With a big early enrollee class this year, aggressive use of redshirts, USC’s roster should not get below 68 players.
And, of course, we have appealed the sanctions, only accepting a 5 scholie reduction for the time being, so 68 or so should be a worst case. All that means is that we will be a bit thin, especially on the Scout team. but, the NFL plays with 53. USC has historically played with 78-80. It will be moderately painful, but it will not kill us!
I’ll be interested to see if Para’s analysis supports this.
I feel the opertunity to play more will Bring More great players and ones who want to learn.

I think Kiffin knows something more than he is letting on...
I will leave it at that.
"Mention USC to a Bruin and they get angry; mention UCLA to a Trojan and they laugh."
I disagree with your take
The loss of Henderson is emphatically NOT a small victory for USC. Of course, there’s no way of knowing just how well Henderson would have performed for USC, but when you lose a recruit this highly ranked, and in this manner, it is undeniably a loss.
I still believe that this had more to do with the impressions Henderson took from the coaching staff regarding the penalties (as reported) and his possible feelings that he was either lied to or misled by Kiffin & Co. (For the record, and to avoid any debate on a subject already debated, I do not claim that he was either lied to or misled, just that it is certainly possible that Henderson felt that he was.) I don’t think missing a couple of bowl games really factored into the decision-USC is still the premier West Coast program and would be on TV all through the season, and has plenty of media exposure.
You may be right that his loss will be a plus in one sense, since USC won’t have to deal with a possible prima donna with an irritating family, but this kind of talent is hard to give up, even if it comes with headaches.
Sorry but he is just like R. Sidney in BB good riddance, but I know the WEasie would welcome with open POOLs.

Bowl games? The one time every year where every scout in the world can see you on National TV?
Really? Last time I checked, USC is on national television, at least 6 times per season compared to one bowl game.I’m pretty sure scouts will see these guys with or without the bowl game.

this is usually a cheap fat joke
But there is honestly a resemblance to Jabba the Hutt
MAGNIFICENT GRAND CHAMPION CC NCAA BRACKET 2010
No small victory
The loss of Henderson is a big blow even for USC. You lose a three-four year starter and a potential top five draft pick.
Honestly, he would not have started for 2 years
He is fat and needs a good 2 years in a D-1 conditioning program. He would have played though.
Maybe for depth but NOT for team chemistry
you cannot put a price on that…
here is what you don’t know… the 2010 recruiting class was going to make life tough on SH. They are sticking it while SH was playing the drama queen. They realize that they are all in this together, couple that with his being at 355lbs and it was going to be a tough road to hoe for the kid. he is woefully out of shape.
So yes it hurts SC’s depth but in the long run the team is better off w/o all the drama.
addition by subtraction…
"Mention USC to a Bruin and they get angry; mention UCLA to a Trojan and they laugh."
Henderson
Losing him isn’t pleasant. When is it nice to be rejected?
That being said, his dad’s attitude was suspicious, his attitude was soft, and he never showed a clear commitment to SC from the beginning. I wish him well, but it’s not the biggest loss in the world.
What IS a loss, however, is signing only one offensive lineman in this class.

What hurts
is that other tackles passed on USC because they thought Henderson was coming! The Big Minnie really cost us two recruits. But, CEO and Victory Lane will fill the need at that position this year.
Henderson is kind of damaged goods now, and his father had trouble written all over it. It is for the best that he go elsewhere.

"Coachspeak aside, this remains a small victory for USC."
Joey, I like reading your posts and I appreciate your love for SC, but this is a bit over the top. If losing Henderson was a “small victory,” why did the senior coaching staff take two private plane trips to Minnesota to “re-recruit” him? How do you get “small victory” out of this situation. Don’t they teach you in your journalism classes that credibility is everything!
In a sense, it's true
regardless of talent, we would rather have a hard working lesser talent committed to the program than a prima donna troublemaker with Daddy issues. Team chemistry is critical to on-field success, and Henderson has shown that he is not a team player.
Bring on the Jucos!

I'm standing by that
From everything I’ve heard regarding Seantrel’s dad (his hip/hop interests and business pursuits), there are some definite red flags around this kid. So, yes, in the long run, I absolutely think this will be more beneficial for this kid. Maybe, our o-line won’t be as deep or talented, but in terms of the long-term plan with this team and locker room chemistry, I think it’ll work out for the better. There is some stuff I’m not going to get into that makes me very suspicious with this kid, especially the father.

As Coach O
“Coach O said it best: “The guy you don’t get could be a blessing in disguise.” "
"Mention USC to a Bruin and they get angry; mention UCLA to a Trojan and they laugh."
His talent was obvious
He had tremendous potential. I tend to agree with you that there is no “small victory” in losing such a prospect. I think there is also a potential that Henderson could have a tremendous attitude problem. That was a negative, and now we don’t have to worry about that. Henderson was already thinking about the NFL, and looks at college as the farm league. If he was a basketball player he would be one and done.
Losing Henderson is way more negative than positive, but the headache of Henderson is over now, and that is something that I am glad to move on with.
I knew you BNers wouldn't understand, it is beyond your comprehension sorry but that piece of paper on the wall doesn't give you common sense.

the most disappointing thing about Seantrel's decision is this quote
From Seantrel himself after he finally signed.
“I waited to see if anything was going to happen with them,‘’ the 6-foot-8, 335-pounder said. "After I announced USC, I started worrying about stuff. I didn’t want to walk into anything, so that’s when I started thinking about the other schools, Ohio State and Miami.
“But then I thought about how comfortable I feel out there and the relationships I’ve started with the team and the players. I decided if we have to go through anything, we will go through it together.’’
I guess he meant “as long as it doesn’t put me out too much…”
Never bet your future (or your happiness) on the actions of an 18 year-old
He did what most kids would do, he freaked out. His dad is a piece of work and they’ll be a compliance nightmare but they’re manageable but they’re not at the center of this maelstrom.
It’s this fat tub of lard that did it to all of us.

write this up as a fan shot...this needs to be on the main page
"Mention USC to a Bruin and they get angry; mention UCLA to a Trojan and they laugh."
Short Answer: Yes
Long Answer: The dude is a 6-8, 335 pounder who, even playing in Minnesota, displayed great tools as a lineman. You can argue that Henderson doesn’t know how to play with the likes of players in Cali, Florida, Texas, etc because he plays in Minnesota, but he still displayed his skills at the Army All-American bowl and knocked down a few guys.

I've heard concerns
He played against lesser talent, how will he handle the speed and power at a higher level. Plus, he’s over 360 lbs and his first love is basketball. How committed is he?
Sean was NOT a slam dunk recruit from what I have read. A crapshoot like most of the 18 yos, although he has an amazing physical infrastructure.
+1
Biggest concern is he’s let himself get fat, shows lack of focus and poor discipline. Too bad, USC specializes in getting guys like him into the league.

And the fact is, USC has been able to produce great offensive lineman. So I’m not at a bit worried about this. Sure, our depth chart is now going to be the point of emphasis, but this is USC.

Do you really think Henderson lacks drive based on this?
I think he might be lacking something, but it might be that it’s a lack of trust in those who may have told him that there would be no significant sanctions. Trust can be more important than a couple of bowl games, no?
There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.
