How nice would it be to close out with Latwan Anderson, Seantrel Henderson, and Morgan Moses?

MORE Seantrel info. USC apparently the favorite. Tired of it yet?

With about 24 hours remaining before Seantrel Henderson announces his college choice, it appears Southern California has become the front-runner.

And Miami, which the highly recruited Cretin-Derham Hall offensive lineman visited last weekend, has moved into a dark-horse position.

The 6-foot-8, 335-pound offensive lineman planned to fly today to New York, where on Wednesday he'll announce his decision.

Ohio State, thought to be among top considerations the last few months, now seems to be in third place, followed by Minnesota. It would be a major surprise if Henderson chose the Gophers.

gorocks, anything on Henderson is a complete guess lol.

The Henderson's have been told to keep everything extremely quiet for the big announcement tomorrow.

Henderson will announce at 5 pm per Lemming though, that is legit information.

And they have, too. Seriously, they've been very good about not tipping their hand in almost every single interview I've read. Totally up in the air right now, I just wonder where these sources keep getting their info.

Its all an entire guessing game based on internet insiders opinions.

Like Bucknuts and OZone just had an insider saying James is going to OSU? James may decide tonight and make it official tomorrow.

A Moses, Anderson, James finish? That would take the sting out of not getting Henderson...but what if Louis is dicking around and knows Henderson is going to OSU thats why his facebook talks about rooming with im at Minnesotta(knowing they are both going to OSU) then OSU finishes with Moses, Anderson, James, and Henderson and no one talks shit about Tress not closing.

That would be the perfect scenario but this is the time of day where rumors run wild.

I think Adams is a guy who isn't into the head games, so the rumor of him to OSU is very nice to hear.

I think Moses is a Buckeye, just have to clear grades.

Anderson has always wanted to be a Buckeye, had to get his grades straight and now that it appears they are, he will be a Buckeye.

The rest...who knows...gun to my head I think they get Henderson and Louis keeps sticks to his commitment. But I never like it when the kids play these games, but also don't blame them when recruiting site owners are calling them non stop.

all things considered, james picking the buckeyes is probably the smarter decision.

while i was ecstatic he allegedly had notre dame in the lead...i always wondered why exactly?

we are a 6-6 ball club who just lost two first rounders to the nfl and we havent exactly produced elite OL in recent years...

it will be interesting.

St. Paul Pioneer Press tweet:

RB Donnell Kirkwood told me he's looking forward to challenging for a starting spot at Minnesota with teammate James Louis.
So, sounds like the teammate thinks Louis is going to MN. Obviously it's still all speculation.

Also, any recruitnicks know the NCAA legality of what Malcolm did? I'm not saying it was a violation or not, I'm just in a discussion on another board and we can't figure out if any rules apply here.

No, I don't think so. I believe it's no different than other kids in a recruiting class recruiting players (like what Mike Brewster did for the 2008 OSU class) But I'm sure someone else can answer it better than myself.

Hell if I know. lol

He and James Louis are definitely going to make it interesting.

OSU has 3 schollies left correct?

What if Moses, Henderson, Louis, AND Anderson all want to commit?

Yeah, I don't see OSU taking more than 3 more.

Well despite his bullshit, Louis is still committed. So he's already included.

So if Moses, Hendo, and Anderson all go to OSU, there's room. But things will get interesting if those 3 and Matt James all want to go to OSU...but that is very unlikely. I give that a 10% chance of happening.

So does OSU have room to actually sign Henderson, Moses, James, and Anderson if they ALL wanted to be Buckeyes? I'd say the chances of that happening are pretty slim, but I just wondered what the scholarship situation actually is. I had been hearing that they had two spots left, but could probably make room for three.

I guess if James Louis backs out, that would make some extra room, but hopefully he sticks with his commitment. I know this is a tough decision for these kids, but if he ends up going to Minnesota after all the things that have happened during his recruitment, that would be pretty low. If he's not joking around, and is serious about Minnesota, he has been playing Tressel for quite a while now.

Edit: Looks like someone read my mind and answered before I even posted. Thanks. haha
