That night, Seantrel Henderson was taken to a Miami club, where he met the former Miami stars Willis McGahee and Bryant McKinnie. The next day, McKinnie was kicked off the National Football Conference Pro Bowl team after two unexcused absences from practice. Henderson is often compared to McKinnie, a left tackle, because of their similar size and ability.

On Saturday night he went to a South Beach nightclub, where he met Baltimore Ravens free safety Ed Reed, another former Miami player.

"Come to the U.," Henderson recalled Reed telling him. "This is where it's at."

While in Miami, Sean Henderson said his son told him, "Wow, Dad, this trip right here is making my decision even harder." Besides the Hurricanes' storied history, father and son liked that the university is private and that the team was 9-4 last season and seemed to have a bright future. They also liked the warm weather, but had concerns about Miami's fast pace.
