Looks like Brew is pulling out all the stops to entice Seantrel Henderson. I like it! The following is from Sid's column today.

Recruiting cooperation
There already was lot of competition for the Gophers in recruiting of Cretin- Derham Hall football and basketball star Seantrel Henderson before Rivals.com declared him the No. 1 recruit in the country for the Class of 2010. This ranking will only add to the competition.
However, one advantage for the Gophers is football coach Tim Brewster has told Henderson he can play basketball as well as football, and this is something a lot of football coaches will not allow. Brewster and Tubby Smith are going to be joint recruiting on any athlete who is good enough to play both.
The Gophers will have one next year in Bryant Allen. Allen scored 32 points for Maplewood (Mo.) Richmond Heights in its 73-58 Missouri Class 3A boys' basketball state quarterfinal victory over Charleston on Saturday. Allen helped his Blue Devils come back by scoring 20 points, including six three-pointers, in the second quarter.
Maplewood is 28-3 and is playing for its second consecutive state championship next weekend. Allen, a wide receiver, is expected to play basketball for the Gophers after football season is over.
