Well, after the hour of panic, Henderson decided to attend the USC school out west. It's hard to turn down an offer from a school that has sky rocketed players into the first round of the NFL. Especially linemen. If you look at tOSU's track record on linemen to the NFL, you see this:
2009 – 0 (Alex Boone undrafted)
2008 – 7th round (Kirk Barton)
2007 – 6th round (Dough Datish)
2006 – 1st round (Nick Mangold)
4th round (Rob Sims)
2005 – 0
2004 – 4th round (Alex Stepanovich)
7th round (Adrien Clarke)
2003 – 0
2002 – 2nd round (LeCharles Bentley)
6th round (Tyson Walter)
Not excatly what you want as a coach recruiting smart linemen. Ohio State still got a stable of running backs with this class which includes Rod Smith (this year) Carlos Hyde (last year) Jaamal Berry (Our favorite-last year) Jordan Hall (last year) Boom Herron and Zoom Saine. We also have Terrelle Pryor at QB, something that was a big deal two years ago, when HE was the number 1 recruit. All in all, Buckeye fans shouldn't fret TOO much, although we did manage to lose Floyd, Henderson, Anderson (Still decieding, although a verbal to WVU), Mount Moses, James, Hicks, Joyner, and Shaw. Don't forget, next year is shaping up to be a top 5 recruiting class, and hey, we basically have the same team as the Rose Bowl and we should be able to move on to the MNC. So let's keep rolling along Buckeye Fans. We got this.
