http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/10/sports/ncaafootball/10henderson.html Huge pickup by the 'Canes. Legitimately one of the biggest recruits to choose Miami in some time, and has the potential to be an all-time player. Seantrel will get looks to start at LT, but may begin the season on the right side while he gets used to CFB speed. I would like to see him on the left side by the time they play some of the better ACC comp., but it's a lot to ask of him to go against Ohio State and Pittsburgh early in the year. Either way, to have him locked in on the blind side for the '11 season will be massive as that NW class will all be seniors. The best part about this thing is that USC and Kiffin paid him all that money just for him to jump ship.
Jermaine Johnson isn't quite impressing everyone at RT, so Henderson could come in and take it from him. The hype on this dude is unreal(but warranted),compared to the last top 2 tackles, Mike Adams and DJ Fluker, Henderson might be the most college ready.
Johnson and Ben Jones are guys with potential, but I'm not sure either was going to be ready to go for the fall. The flexibility it gives Randy for this year is incredible, but I suppose I should temper my optimism a bit. It really depends on what shape he's in a month from now, and whether the staff trusts him; not that I think they would keep him on the pine for very long if the line falters at all. They compare Henderson to Bryant McKinnie, and I can't say I hate it. He'll have some work to do to match what Mount McKinnie did though, one of the best lineman of the past 20 years.
Those are lofty expectations, I've heard Ogden-Pace hybrid myself, but I don't think it's impossible. He has everything you'd want in a tackle: Size, foot speed, footwork, intelligence, hand placement, punch, etc... The only negative I've heard about him is improving his drive blocking, and that's very very minor problem that can be fixed. I hope he does well there, I have much respect for the Miami program. Some of my favorite players are from "The U"(Sapp, Cortez Kennedy, Vinny, and the Mad Stork) and Coach Schnelly is one of my favorite coaches. Also interested in how Jimmy Graham turns out, his measurements are unreal for a TE, more basketball players should try their hand at football. I'm done " dick ridin' " The U now :beer:
