Much of what came out about Henderson and his old man, was AFTER the fact. Thus, its very easy to understand (to those non bias) why some of us, just really don't want the baggage at this point in time.
And many were saying this during the recruiting process as well. I feel for the kid...he was "BS'd" into signing with USC by Kid Kiffin. Well, as mentioned, he and his father knew the chance they were taking by doing so. No one knew exactly what was going to happen. But there was always a chance they would be severe...and they in fact were. Well, when you take a chance like this, you are taking a risk instead of taking the safe route. Had he chosen OSU or Miami...this wouldn't be going on. And that is the price you pay for taking chances.
If he gets out of his letter of intent, and happens to come to OSU..I'll do nothing but accept him. But at this point, based on what I have read...I honestly don't want him, and OSU doesn't need him currently.
As for his grades and admission...do your research. OSU has turned away many top recruits who wouldn't qualify, or didn't. Does OSU have a few scholarships to play with? Absolutely, just like all selective colleges do.
And if you think OSU football is not taking grades seriously....look no further then what recently happened with the son of OSU LEGEND Chris Carter.
And if you think OSU fans are any different then any other major fan base...then your just flat out blinded by your hatred. That is fact. Go jump on other message boards and you will see it within minutes.
