Not really sweating this one. The staff is shooting the very best shot they can. If it happens, it’s a mammoth home run. But if it doesn’t, we have 2 **** good prospects in the bag and I’m fine with that.

I’m way more worried about adding another WR than I am this kid. But sure would be nice to get him too.

We already won the LB sweepstakes with AJ Randle & Noah Glover.

We have the best LB haul in the Nation for the 27 class. The only other team that could maybe argue they have as good a haul as us is Oklahoma.

We also don't run a traditional 4-3 & rarely if ever will have 3 LB's on the field at the same time anyway, so Henderson can't be sold on immediate PT if he were to pick Miami.

It's pretty much right there on the table that he's gonna have to compete for a job if he comes here. While, TAMU & Notre Lame can sell him on being guaranteed starter snaps.

At this point, it's really on him if he believes in himself enough to walk into a situation where he'll have to test his mettle against equal level competition.

Everybody ain't cut out for that.

Henderson is the name I’m watching over the next 7 days. DJ Jacobs got a lot of ink this weekend, but I think Henderson is further along to a resolution.

Miami was optimistic the last time I spoke to them on Sunday. There is real traction. We’ll see.

Maybe he buys into being used as a Hybrid LB/DE rusher in situations. Think i remember him saying he was pitched on that. Could up his stock instead of a position that is highly devalued in the league for just a regular tackler. We will see

How do you know Henderson will have it harder at Miami than those other schools? He will have to compete anywhere he goes. His body is further along and he is different than the two kids we have committed. He is a kid you can send after the QB. Not trying to be a **** but just not sure how what makes you say that.

Do you think we don’t run 3 lb personnel because of scheme or that Heatherman doesn’t trust the lb crew we had last year?

I’m going to Notre Dame in july for a training class and couldn’t believe there was no direct flights from south florida. Have to catch a connector in Atlanta. I plan to wear Miami gear all week sure i will get some looks.

We have family friends out there who are extremely Catholic so they get along fine, but I could not fathom being there longer than a day or 2

It's simple math.

Take a look at the depth chart for Notre Dame & TAMU, they have all upperclassmen LB's who are draft eligible. Which means after this season, they'll have a lot less depth & more open spots for PT.

ND & TAMU can offer early PT & all he has to do is look at their depth charts & see that next year he can play a lot quicker on those teams.

And what exactly do you mean he's different? He's a Weak Side Backer that rushes the passer a lot, that's what most LB's do in FL. You can literally send any LB after the QB, that's what Blitzing is for.

If he's being recruited as an EDGE, then he's undersized. But if he's being recruited as a LB, he's in the exact same boat & same position as AJ Randle. Randle's upside is significantly higher.

Maybe you misunderstood my point, but I'll reiterate if you're confused;
Notre Dame & TAMU has easier paths to early playing time. So for Henderson, maybe the hold up in his decision is, if all 3 programs are offering about the same in NIL, what other factors could persuade him to go to one place or another?... Idk, I would guess the team that's offering early PT vs the team that already has 2 high ranked 4-star Blue-Chip LB's committed in the same class.
