Outstanding...I am actually outta town for professional reasons...

The last time I was out of town, during my absence, JB Shugarts & Michael Brewster committed and I think Nathan Williams followed shortly thereafter.

I go out of town again and the #1 player in the country decides to commit to tOSU. Coincidence? I think not.

Congrats Terrelle. Great to have you in the fold.

OSU's Tressel will find a way to get Pryor on field
Wednesday, March 19, 2008
By Mike White, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Ohio State's starting quarterback has one more year of eligibility, but that doesn't mean Buckeyes coach Jim Tressel won't give playing time next season to Jeannette High School quarterback Terrelle Pryor.
Pryor, the No. 1-ranked player in the country, according to several recruiting services, signed with Ohio State yesterday, choosing the Buckeyes over Michigan. Penn State and Oregon were his other finalists.
Todd Boeckman is the returning starter at quarterback for Ohio State and last season he helped the Buckeyes reach the national championship game.
"The thing you need to do as a coaching staff is get people on the field who can make plays and design things for what people are ready to do," Tressel said in a conference call this afternoon. "Everyone is aware that [Pryor] has the kind of ability that once he understands the system and knows opposing defenses, he's going to have a chance to show his playmaking ability."
Pryor said yesterday he hopes to be used in a similar way that the University of Florida used Tim Tebow when he was a freshman two years ago during the Gators' run to the national championship. Tebow was C.J. Leak's backup, but Tebow was used on a number of plays during the course of games. Many of the plays were quarterback runs.
"I think it's Terrelle's passion to make it impossible for us not to put him in the football game," Tressel said. "That's what is exciting about a guy with his goals. He didn't want you to promise him anything [concerning playing time]. He's very sensitive to his teammates. He wants to earn everything he gets."
Pryor will enroll at Ohio State June 16.
