Seantrel Henderson/Terelle Pryor - Former Number 1 recruits

Seantrel Henderson almost didn't get drafted.
If my memory serves me correctly didn't these guys wait to sign a week or two after national signing day?
Also wasn't Seantrel Henderson originally committed to USC?
It seems like the guys who flip flop, wait after NSD to sign etc... end up being more trouble than they are worth.
I'm a casual follower of recruiting so take easy if I'm stepping way out of bounds.
History seems to repeat itself with these guys like Gunner Kiel. He signed on NSD but it wasn't without committing to 3 different schools and causing drama.

I think Henderson flipped between USC, Minnesota, and The U. That dudes recruitment was wild. Pryor is a bad example because he was pretty good at tOSU and has started games in the NFL.
Clowney waited until the 20th to announce and he turned out to be pretty good.

The Bryce Brown saga was a recruiting shite show and a circus in college, but he did well in the NFL.

I wouldn't go that far. He's a big part of the reason Tressel(Don't get me wrong, Tressel was the biggest part for his own downfall) is not their anymore, forfeited Bowl games, off the field trouble etc...I mean the idiot showed up to team meeting when they were getting investigated in a brand new badass car.

Yeah, he was an idiot, but I wouldn't call him a failure. It would kinda be like calling Mathieu a failure. Both were dynamic in college and got kicked out of school but still made it to the NFL.

Not a good comparsion I would say.
Mathieu left the place like he found it, Pryor...not so much.

Scouts can only go off of talent and potential. They have no way of knowing growth of skill and maturity. Pryor was pretty damn good in college though.

Well the big thing about Henderson is that he's pretty lazy from all reports. No real work ethic and fluctuating weight changes that drove his coaches nuts at Miami. Didn't help that he had to cancel his pro day halfway through it because he was gassed.

Good point. OSU was a dumpster fire when he left

High Drama during recruiting does increase the probability of high drama during career. But to state they are more trouble than their worth is a bit strong. Being a good teammate is the only thing that matters. The #1 expectation is unfair to everyone involved more times than not, including the NFL.
In college no drama and just focus on the team is critical. 4 stars with good work habits every year and a 5* shut down corner and WR every other would be my wish list.

I remember Petros commenting he would not want him at USC, since Seantrel stood the coaching staff up on meeting because he was getting his hair braided.

Pryor was playing in the HS football playoffs and then right into HS basketball and basketball playoffs and made it known well before signing day that he would make a choice after signing day because he wanted to make sure he was able to take visits and not be rushed into deciding.

I had no problem with Pryor waiting because he wanted to focus on basketball
