Recruiting service Rivals.com has released its initial "Rivals 100" list of the nation's top 100 recruits. The list will inevitably be adjusted a handful of times between now and signing day in 2010 but its a decent starting point for the shape of college football recruiting over the next year.The early leader for the top recruit is Minnesota offensive tackle Seantrel Henderson. At No. 2 just behind him is a nifty running back out of Texas we've mentioned before named Lache Seastrunk. Rivals is touting the state of Texas this year while noting it may be a bit of a down year for quarterbacks.
Reflecting the changing ways of recruiting, 21 members of the Rivals100 are already "committed" to various programs, this all before playing a down of senior year football. Keep in mind, last year's top recruit, Kansas tailback Bryce Brown has yet to publicly decide upon a school.
Whatever happens, you can count on the major programs scooping up the majority of elite recruits, particularly the programs in the SEC and warmer climes such as USC and Miami.
