I heard from a reliable source (*cough* Fungo *cough*) that he was shot in the foot while running from the police after knocking off a liquor store.

FWIW. :paranoid:

sadly this is correct. he had expired fun bucks for a stripper and police shot him while trying to evade capture while in a liquor store. sadly his foot is shattered into a bazillion pieces. and its pregnant. likely with the strippers kids. the pre ultrasound shows octuplets. he's going to redshirt this year and because of his new family situation will be declaring early for the nfl after this season. mr. such and such is handling the medical bills at present.

i heard it from a "reliable source" who is "close to the family".

I think Pryor could work out for both sports during the first year.

During Pryor's first year under Tressel, Pryor would likely be 4th string behind Boeckman, Schoenhoft & Henton.

Matta will have plenty of wings in '08 with Cook, Lighty, Turner... and a good shot at Buford & Roe in that class. Matta would probably only need 'role player' minutes from Pryor, which is a heck of a luxury.

Sunday Special: Tressel retools OSU offense - Canton, OH - CantonRep.com

In about two weeks, Ohio State will begin resurrecting itself for the 2009 football season. Spring practice begins April 2.

It?s the stuff that?s taking place between now and the start of summer camp that will determine what kind of team the Buckeyes will be.

Ohio State Head Coach Jim Tressel and his coaching staff are in the midst of scouting the one team they didn?t get to during the season ? the Buckeyes.

Although Tressel didn?t come right out and say as much during his trip through Canton last week, it isn?t hard to picture Terrelle Pryor running some variation of a Wildcat offense or even more work with the pistol formation.

Tressel seemed smitten when talk of the Wildcat offense came up during a visit with Hoover High School head coach Don Hertler Jr. and former Newark Catholic head coach J.D. Graham. The three talked shop for about two hours at a North Canton eatery.

What has Tressel interested is all that can be done out of it and how much preparation an opposing defense needs to get ready. Who knows where Pryor could line up?

Tressel has to get Pryor comfortable in an offense. The freshman phenom never seemed quite sure of himself, especially in the bowl game.

That?s all part of the self-evaluation study OSU coaches are going through.

?You have to figure out what your guys do best,? Tressel said.

Pryor came to Ohio State and got a late start. Tressel even made a passing reference during his visit to Canton a year ago when he said he would have to interrupt his talk if his cell phone rang because he was waiting for one more recruit.

Now that Tressel has had a full season and an offseason with Pryor, look for him to become the player everyone expected. It will be Tressel?s job to put Pryor ? and the rest of the offense ? in a position to succeed.

It will be easier to do that in 2009 because Pryor is the no-brainer playmaker.

Ohio State football: Spring's no break
Pryor tireless in efforts to be nation's best quarterback
Sunday, March 29, 2009
By Tim May
THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

Each day last week, when Roy Hall peeked into his garage in Jeannette, Pa., Terrelle Pryor was in there working.

He wasn't working on Hall's car, mind you. He was lifting weights. The two-car garage of Hall's -- he's not the former Ohio State receiver but a longtime Jeannette High School assistant who recently was promoted to coach -- long ago had become the body-building center for Jayhawks players. It came as no surprise to Hall to see the former Jeannette quarterback pumping iron while on spring break.

"He's been in there every day, and I am talking about two and three hours at a time," Hall said. "What I see is how much bigger he's gotten under Ohio State's strength and conditioning program. He told me he weighs 238 pounds and, kidding him, I said, 'You better watch it. They might make you a defensive end.'

"He is just a specimen. And on top of that, he loves to work out."

Piled on top of that, Pryor hates to lose. That explains why during spring break, when most college students head as far south as their budgets can take them, Pryor headed east for his hometown and Hall's garage. He is driven, he said, more by memories of the three games the Buckeyes lost last season than of what was otherwise an above-average debut as a freshman starting quarterback.

"I got so upset by it; I'll put everything on my shoulders, and I don't want that to happen this year," Pryor said. "I don't want myself thinking I should have or could have done this or that. Hey, go do it.

"That's the way I am thinking right now, why not work out and be the best you can be? You do that last rep on the bench so you can take your team down for that last touchdown, to be the strongest guy, and all that stuff. That's the way I approach things."
