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

[POJO_Risin]

Friend or no friend of Haskins...Rich Rodriguez may sway him as well. There is something to being THE star on a campus...and that kid would be the best football AND basketball player...

Has anyone heard about Pryor wanting to redshirt? Someone posted it over at my site, and I hadn't heard about it yet.

Wanting to? No, and neither have you really via that site, where the post from Hamm to which you refer claims Pryor expects to redshirt. Even if Hamm's pronoucement is right that is a far different thing from wanting to redshirt.

i have several friends that are pretty good when it comes to gator news...they want pryor as a WR...they are not looking at him as a QB

 

[A.C.TropGuy]

His exact words were if I'm going to be a QB, I'm going to have to redshirt.

If Pryor redshirts, Tebow would be a SR.(if he doesn't Declare) When Pryor becomes eligible. So don't count Pryor out of UF just because Florida has a QB for the next few years.

Yeah, count them out because they're farther away and hotter than UNC.....which was too far and too hot.

But Brantley will be a rFR.

But Brantley will be a rFR.

Not to mention the "other" 5* in Cameron Newton. Either Brantley or Newton will redshirt this year

 

[sandgk]

I agree with both BGriff and OregonBuckeye, you have to read those eligibility charts.

I think when it's all said and done, you'll see him selecting a school that keeps him "close" to home, but not close enough that he can "spit" home. He said Pittsburgh was too close, but North Carolina was too far...

So somewhere in between that 500 mile radius...

Like...Columbus...

We can only hope.

Nation's top QB prospect has Buckeyes on his list

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

"He's a freak athlete," said Dublin Coffman offensive lineman and Ohio State 2008 commitment Mike Adams, who recently watched Pryor during the Buckeyes' summer camp. "We saw him on the basketball court in the Woody Hayes Center and he was doing some outrageous dunks with ease."

Duane Long, recruiting editor of Ohio High magazine and Bucknuts.com, said Pryor "is better than (former Texas star) Vince Young at the same point in their careers."

Last season, Pryor had 1,676 yards rushing on 197 attempts (8.7 average) and 1,732 yards passing on 92 completions in 163 attempts. In basketball, he averaged 20.8 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks.

It's not every day Ohio State is seriously in the hunt for a player of this caliber.

"I'd say you'd have to go back to Ted Ginn (Jr. in 2004); he's that good," Long said. "As far as quarterbacks, he's higher rated than Justin Zwick was. He may be the highest rated player (considering Ohio State) since Art Schlichter. He's one of those unique guys that you'd remember for a lifetime."

does anyone else think this quote from Long is a bit belittling of tOSU football program? or am i reading too much into it? his comment kinda leave a bad taste in my mouth....

:osu2:

osu.edu ROCKS!!!

 

[jwinslow]

If he were talking about QB's, it might make more sense.

Ginn was not our last superstar, we had one last year Chris Wells, Scout's #1 prospect (Rivals' #4), compared to Ginn's #4/2 rankings.

Not if you take it (his quote) with emphasis on the words "As far as quarterbacks..."

I don't think tOSU is traditionally a school that attracts the elite QB recruit. That doesn't mean we haven't developed some good QBs, and maybe with Troy Smith being the first Big Ten Qb to win the Heisman, perceptions begin to change. But I think we are considered (largely from outside the conference) as 'smash-mouth football', "three yards and a cloud of dust", etc., and I'm sure Coaches recruiting against us play that stereotype up a lot when highly rank QBs have looked at OSU.

So I don't think saying that Pryor being the highest rated QB considering tOSU since Schlister is out of line at all. All players considered, you'd have to talk about lots of other kids being in the same 'class' like Teddy, MoC, Beanie, MDA, etc.
