Thoughts:
Apparently program prestige/success trumps coaching in the minds of high school stars. Three of the top fifteen schools have recently experienced significant coaching turmoil. Urban Meyer is on an indefinite leave of absence at Florida, Pete Carrol left USC for the NFL (getting out of there before recruiting violations surface?) and Lane Kiffin jumped at the USC job after being at Tennessee for only one season. The fact that these coaching changes do not seem to matter is frustrating as Ohio State has been battling over recruits with both Florida and USC.
A top prize is still out there as Seantrel Henderson, the No. 1 ranked offensive lineman, is scheduled to decide between Ohio State, USC, Notre Dame, Miami, and Florida at 3:30 p.m. today. Most agree that all 5 schools are still on the table. If he chooses any of the four in the top fifteen I would expect them to jump 3-5 spots (except Florida, who would lock up the No. 1 spot).
