QB/WR Terrelle Pryor ('10 Rose, '11 Sugar MVP)

Anyone see this post from SI.com?

SI.com - More Sports - Star QB adds Oregon to short list, drops Longhorns - Tuesday December 11, 2007 2:47PM

"That concerns me about Ohio State because they've never run an offense like the one we run at my high school or that they run at West Virginia, Florida, Oregon or other places. I'd like to see them run it first so I could believe they'll change it but I'm obviously not going to get to see that so it creates doubt."

Hope he is just trying to make this a little interesting.

This was mentioned when it first was published on Rivals about four or five days ago.

It sounds very much to me like the kind of response one would winkle out of a young man, who, heretofore, has been nothing but careful in what he says about any program of interest.

In fact, as out of character as that reported response sounds, it is almost as if it didn't come from his mouth. One wonders what question prompted the same?

The funniest thing happened at work today. I have a part-time job at a collections agency, and there was an account I had to work today and the guy was a mechanic from Jeanette, Pa. So after a while of discussing his account, I asked him if he followed high school football, and he said yes. I told him I was a Buckeye fan and he said he was a Penn State fan. I asked him if he knows Terrelle Pryor, he said he coincidentally just finished working on his mother's car. After a few minutes of talking he said, word for word, "I'm so glad he's waiting to the last minute to commit to you guys, I don't think people around here would allow him to sleep so peacefully if he announced now." Then I began to ask him about the Oregon rumors and his interest in WVU, and he said ,again word for word, "he loves the drama."

Don't know the validity of this guy, so take it fwiw...

Smart move would be for someone to go out and hire Batch as their Quarterbacks coach if he was intersted. Like how Houston Nutt hired Malzahn to get Mustain a couple years back, Kansas making Danny Manning's truck driver dad an assistant or Michael Beasly going to K-State because of his AAU coach.:paranoid:

Terrelle Pryor, considered an all-around explosive athlete, has great size, quickness, and speed. Recruiters describe him as a "Vince Young" type of quarterback, dangerous in the open field with his ability to run. Pryor is not committed to date but has narrowed down his college choices to Florida, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Penn State, Tennessee, Texas, and West Virginia.

I pulled this from Rivals US Army All-American Bowl player of the year article. Stop already Tom Lemming....sheesh.

From BWI...Pryor's coach says he is looking at Tennessee, Florida, Oregon, West Virginia and Penn State. Says he thinks Terrelle is wavering on OSU and PSU because of the offenses they run.

Don't believe everything you read...word behind the scenes is that OSU is very much still the team to beat. I think Terrelle is just having a little fun with the process right now...

Not sure if this is the correct forum, but could this be part of a "backlash" to the "insider" on another board's comments/predictions? He made some sort of stupid public guarantee on Pryor, and now it seems as if we all have to sweat it thanks to the poster. I can't help but think Pryor may be a little upset with everyone being set on him being a strong OSU lean, even if he is.

In a word: no

This is a kid having fun with the process...sit back and enjoy the ride.

Speculating that an Internet poster is the reason that caused Terrelle's coach to mistakenly say that OSU is not in the running is a theory with more holes in it than the Nebraska defense...

This and Jenkins thread are locked for the time being...why doesn't everyone try a day or two of sanity and then we can back to the madness.

Pryor keeps college, finals in perspective
Thursday, December 13, 2007BY ERIC F. EPLERFor The Patriot-News
It's true you learn something new with every step you take.

From the cell phone calls you accept, and the ones you don't, to the meetings you schedule with a half-dozen of the most influential college football coaches in the country.

Unbelievable at times, all are courting me, quarterback Terrelle Pryor.

Without question it's a crazy thing, but you have to stay focused, pretty much line up when the whistle blows and take care of business. From now until Saturday night, lunch with Tennessee's Phillip Fulmer, or more cozy dialogue with Oregon's Mike Bellotti or Ohio State's Jim Tressel can wait.

Believe me, Dunmore High School has my full attention.

Recruiting destination

College football coaches continue to come to Jeannette's practices.

Penn State's Tom Bradley was there Monday, Oregon quarterbacks coach Chip Kelly was there on Tuesday, Pitt offensive coordinator Matt Cavanaugh attended yesterday, and Tennessee quarterbacks coach David Cutcliffe was at the Wilmington game.

Kelly was watching practice when quarterback Terrelle Pryor asked Jeannette coach Ray Reitz if they could run the Oregon option play. Kelly said he hoped the play went for a touchdown. Reitz and assistant coach John Danton, the Jayhawks offensive coordinator, agreed.

Jeannette assistant coach Roy Hall said he was talking to Cutcliffe when the Tennessee coach took a phone call from Archie Manning, the father of Peyton and Eli Manning. Hall said Manning was calling to see how Pryor looked.

Reitz said he expects Florida, Ohio State and West Virginia to be in Jeannette soon.
