what was pryor's longest pass saturday? is he ready to run a full offensive package? i say this becuase i don't think he could run all of our plays yet. now that its apparent he needs to play more i think practices will get pretty intense for him the next few weeks as he tries to get it all down. i don't think we can make the switch cold turkey at this point. i say keep doing musical QB's but up the ante every week until TP is ready to take the reigns.

What was Boeckman's? All he throws anymore are screens and passes 7 yards shy of the first down marker. Pryor can do that.

Per the OSU stats, Boeckman's longest completion in 21 attempts was 16 yards, (that does not include the "49 yarder" he threw to Ray Maluaga of USC).:(

Pryor's longest completion in 9 attempts was 15 yards.

Men's Style: The Hunted

Coaches, recruiters, and reporters have wanted a piece of Terrelle Pryor since he was in third grade.

Can the most-pursued high-school athlete in history become the next Tom Brady?

The Hunted

By Ivan Solotaroff; Photograph by Rebecca Greenfield

"Terrelle Pryor," the Jeannette High School public-address system crackles, issuing the sentence every teenager dreads, "report to the main office immediately."

The staticky voice doesn?t register with the kids shuffling down the halls between second and third periods on a late-spring Thursday in Jeannette, Pennsylvania (population 10,096). Or the ones leaning against the overstocked trophy cases filled with letters from congressmen and the minutes documenting Pryor?s name being read into the Congressional Record for leading the Jeannette Jayhawks to state championships in football and basketball this year. They?ve been hearing this on the PA for months now, half a dozen times a day at the peak of college-recruitment season, just as they?ve been seeing the limos and satellite trucks in the parking lot and all those mysterious men in the bleachers for the past three years.

"Terrelle Mania," Rick Klimchock, Jeannette?s former basketball coach and current guidance counselor, calls the ravenous pursuit of Pryor, the most heavily recruited athlete in NCAA history. At six feet six and 230 pounds, Pryor is the first Pennsylvania high-school quarterback to run and pass for more than 4,000 yards apiece and one of the most tantalizing basketball prospects in the nation. He?s been proclaimed the next Vince Young and the next LeBron James?in one?but he could as easily be the Great Cautionary Tale of the meat market that college recruitment has become. When his signed footballs hit $99.99 and game-used wristband reached $349.99 on eBay, YouTube montages of his gridiron highlights topped a half-million hits, and a terrellepryor.org site and limited-edition action figure appeared this winter, it begged the question: Are we projecting a bit much onto an 18-year-old from a tiny school in the sticks?

The answer isn?t immediately apparent when Pryor ambles into a conference room with the remnants of breakfast, a bag of doughnuts, in hand. He?s wearing the sweet smile of a much younger kid, even as the mistrust of an older man darkens his brow. Wooed, followed, and worshipped since third grade, he?s clearly tired of being a vessel for people?s hopes and machinations. In an era that insists on making cover boys out of its quarterbacks, Pryor is, or is destined to become, a flack?s worst nightmare: someone who knows the public role he?s supposed to play and just won?t have anything to do with it.

Since he last suited up, he?s put on a few pounds?readying himself for college by lifting relentlessly, running with a parachute into the wind, dragging 50-pound sleds downfield at daybreak?and he has that quiet disdain and confidence you find in the Brett Favres and Tom Bradys of the world. His girlfriend, Katie, is the prettiest girl in town, and his peers and teammates do their best to play along with the idea that he?s just one of the guys, even as he makes them all but disappear from view when he passes?smiling quietly?in the hallways. He wears a red Air Jordan tee, baggy jeans cuffed above the ankles, and red Adidas sneakers, his right arm tattooed with massive Praying Hands, his neck, ears, and wrist flashing cubic-zirconia starter bling. From second to second, he appears as either The Future or just another oversize kid. Gradually you pick up on the fact that he gets a kick out of the ambiguity, and that he?s learned to use it as cover.

Thanks for that Shetuck. Best TP article ever.

Why did you choose Ohio State?"
"I like Coach Tress,"

The first road sign for Columbus appears on the right, and Pryor turns to me. "Let me ask you a question," he says. "The last two Championship Bowl games?who was there both times? Ohio State."

Watching him play, may I note how much joy it brings me that he isn't in the maize and blue?

And even more joy that he IS in the garnet and silver.

Might want to mute this one unless you enjoy the sound of Brent Mussberger and Kirk Herbstreit sucking off the USC program.

Tressel call in show or something like that today said that right now play time Saturday is 50/50 between Pryor/Boeckman. But that all can change with the 3 days of practice (T/W/R)

I like it. Pryor is going to make mistakes (growing pains) but boy is he fun to watch. He certainly has the heart of a competitor.

There is no doubt in my mind that after hearing his call in show he is taking the direction to groom Pryor to take over. None. Unless Pryor has some very bad regressions he is going to be asked to do more and more. I also noted in the Press conference thread that TP will be getting 65% of the practice reps this week and Todd will get 35%. Tressel has been impressed with how much TP has progressed with the limited snaps he has had.
