I am trying to figure out how to access the TargetObjectId of a batch email to use in the Email Template VF Component.  I set the target Id in my batch and tried assigning it as an Attribute in my template and component but it does not seem to access the record I in my controller.  How do I access that value in my controller?

Here is my component:
<apex:component access="global" controller="RACnSACEmailClass">
<apex:attribute name="recordId" description="Record Id" type="id" assignTo="{!userId}"/>

</apex:component>

Email Template

<messaging:emailTemplate subject="" recipientType="User" relatedToType="User">
  <messaging:htmlEmailBody >
     <c:RACnSACDigestEmailComponent recordId="{!recipient.id}" />
  </messaging:htmlEmailBody>
</messaging:emailTemplate>

Batch Class:
global class RACnSACDigestSCRevisionBatch implements Database.Batchable<sObject> {



    String userRegions = 'select id, Region__c, Email from user where Region__c != Null and isActive = True Order by Region__c asc';

    global RACnSACDigestSCRevisionBatch() {

    }

    global Database.QueryLocator start(Database.BatchableContext BC) {
        return Database.getQueryLocator(userRegions);
    }

    global void execute(Database.BatchableContext BC, List<User> scope) {
        List<Messaging.SingleEmailMessage> emailList = new list<Messaging.SingleEmailMessage>();
        List<emailTemplate> emailTemplateList =[select id from emailTemplate Where name = 'RACnSACDigestEmail'];
        string templateId = emailTemplateList[0].Id;
        List<string> emailAddress = new list<string>();
        emailAddress.add('aaldis@ofiglobal.com');
        system.debug('***** scope size is '+scope.size());
        for(User u: scope){

            System.debug('***** user id is '+u.Id+' region in '+u.region__c+' email is '+u.email);
            Messaging.SingleEmailMessage email = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();
            //email.setToAddresses(emailAddress);
            email.setTargetObjectId(u.Id);
            email.setWhatId(u.Id);
            email.setTemplateId(templateId);
            email.setSaveAsActivity(false);
            email.setCcAddresses(emailAddress);
            emailList.add(email);
            //Messaging.sendEmail(new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage[] { email });
        }
        system.debug('***** email list size is '+emailList.size());
        Messaging.sendEmail(emailList);

    }

    global void finish(Database.BatchableContext BC) {

    }
