It's hard to say where he'll end up. He still has a visit to Miami on the 29th so they're definitely in the mix. I think USC is out now since Carroll has left. I really think he'll stay somewhat close and decide between Notre Dame, Ohio State, Iowa and Minnesota.
He had a lot of nice things to say about OSU and Columbus. Iowa is a long shot but they are a solid program and Kirk Ferentz is a former NFL line coach and has a lot of experience putting OLmen into the pros. Plus the Hawkeyes have a few former CDH players on their team who may be influencing him and a lot of open spots on the OL next season. Minnesota is the hometown team and an obvious candidate, although there will likely be a coaching turnover soon.
I'm guessing he'll wind up at Notre Dame. He is good friends with Michael Floyd who also went to CDH and I know they've been in contact about it.
Sure hope our current players from CDH can influence him to come to Iowa. Does anyone know how well Eubanks or Binns knows Seantel?? Would hope Eubanks being an OL might be a big help. Maybe he didn't do an official visit to Iowa as his old teammate Binns was telling him how great it was???
I do have to agree with most of what this poster says but sure hope he has come to the wrong conclusion. Seantrel would look great in BLACK and GOLD next year!!!!
As Penn State seems to be out of the mix maybe Coack Ferentz should steal JoPa's line from the Big Ten Network advertisement. Can't you just see Coach Ferentz, sitting on the coach at Seantrel's house, gritting his pearly whites and in his best JoPa immitation saying, "COME TO IOWA!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Hoffa, what I mean't by that line was him craving the spotlight. I agree totally that he could come in and start, and that would be great. My point was KF wants humble, quiet, hard working dudes that love their teammates. DJK had a little trouble with this, but KF got him focused, and now he's our go to guy. I guess what I'm saying is, want a teammate, not a me, me, me guy. and maybe he's not that way at all, didn't seem to be in his interviews. Thanks for the post, glad someone shares in my kind of thinking.
He's a silent commit. He's well aware of the recent announcement from Bulaga, KF's OL expertise, and his ability to play right away. He's coming to Iowa!

If he does have a bit of an ego problem the interesting dynamic is KF's rule that true freshman aren't allowed to talk to the media. If he does have an ego problem (I personally think his dad just likes the attention) then that rule could potentially steer him away from Iowa...on the other hand if he does commit and has an ego problem then that rule could go a long way toward straightening that out.
The OSU message board was more worried about his ACT score than him as a person and player. Hopefully he reads that and sees that he would just be another stat at OSU. At Iowa he would definitely be another great talent in the Ferentz era that gets a first round pick in the draft basically securing his financial future. Hopefully he looks at the quality of the program and how fast he gets to play. Tressel runs a decent program so I cannot fault him for going there, just thinking he would benefit from Kirk's experience in the NFL which many NFL scouts come calling.
