His high school coach is a former Iowa O-linemen that was coached by Kirk Ferentz when KF was the O-line coach under Hayden Fry.
Kirk Ferentz canceled an in-home visit and stopped recruiting SH.
Maybe, just maybe, KF found out something that your OSU board guy didnt know.
What do you think?
SH might be a nice kid. His dad is a whole different matter all together.

My head says yes-#1-2 overall recruit
My gut says no-pain in the *** dad, major prima dona.
Always go with your gut. No dice on Seantrell

Yeah we do just fine, but if we want to get that next level we're going to need to bring in the top talent.
KF only stopped recruiting Henderson at the last minute when it was apparent Iowa wasn't a serious contender. Ferentz recruited the kid for over a year, don't pretend like KF knew something no one else did from the get go. The dad is an absolute nightmare and I think he is a leech and a user, I just don't believe that is a reason for people to run down Seantrel.....

I agree with you about SH's dad and that is what I was hinting at. KF got too big a dose of the nightmare.
I have never known KF to back off of a recruit because we might not get him.

^this...Kirk has however backed off of guys that were verbally committed to Iowa but said they wanted to visit other places...(Wisconsin RB and ND LB?? if I remember right?)

Exactly, I was one of many fans that would have loved to have him. Would be great if he ended up here after all, who knows he could end up being the next Orlando Pace or he could end up being the next Tony Mandarich, only time will tell.

Seantrel Henderson is the bad apple waiting to spoil the rest of the barrel.

Yes. If KF was convinced that things were going to be different than it was before his cancellation. He knows what he's looking for and what he's dealing with so I'd trust his opinion. However,it seems like a very small possibility that anything is really different as its an awful lot to ask a kid to forego his parents desires.

Hmmmm...... No. I highly doubt that KF cancelled the in-home visit because he was worried about Seantrel not committing to us. Fufred you're so right about Iowa not being a contender with SH, I mean it's not like he made a trip to Iowa City for a game last fall...
You really believe that if Ferentz thought he had a legit shot of landing SH that he would have canceled his in-home? LOL, if that's the case you haven't been following recruiting very long.....I had SH headed to USC most of the year last year (check the threads on the Iowa Sout site if you don't believe me) even as people that supposedly knew him said the family would never leave the midwest. Most Iowa fans knew Iowa was a long shot for SH during his recruitment.....

Fufred i agree on this one, but one thing that Sean mentioned a while back was that Seantrel must have been serious about Iowa if he would have paid his way to visit twice.

I believe fufred is right about this one. KF didnt want to waste his time and it was pretty obvious SH wasnt coming to Iowa. Same goes for Florida who sent McCarney instead of Meyer for their in home visit
It sounds good to make it sound like Iowa turned down SH but i really really doubt thats the case
I was interested in SH......Until KF wasn't interested anymore. I defer to Iowa's coaches on anything related to Iowa. We can all think we know something because of ranking by stars, our coaches evaluate what they are looking for and what works for them and the team. I trust KF and his staff to make the right decisions..... I'm sure he's a good kid, but the baggage that comes along with him isn't worth it. Coaches know how pieces fit together to make a TEAM.

Yes! Henderson is a "ME First" athlete in my opinion, along the same lines as TO. He brings more headaches than talent (That's saying a lot because he is talented) and doesn't fit the character profile that the Hawks pride themselves on. KF has taken a chance on high talent/low character before and gotten burned (Douglas anyone?). I for one was happy when he walked away from Henderson.

So how do you know there wasn't an incident/argument between KF and SH's father? Or KF realized something about Seantrel's attitude that he didn't want to bring to Iowa City? Or KF realized he didn't want to have to deal with SH's psycho parents the next 4 years? Fufred you can speculate all you want but you don't know the whole story. Although everyone knew he would go somewhere where he would get paid, Iowa was in his last few schools so I'd say thats being a contender. No one here gives a s*** what predictions you made.

Let's say it another way then...
The staff would not accept his committment to Iowa, even if he wanted to switch at this point. Too many red flags. If you've read Chris Doyle's interview, you'll understand that the staff has learned that sometimes it's better not to dance with the devil.
