I've had a suspicion based on what I've been reading the last few days that he's seriously been considering Penn State. I think he'd love a reason to go there, but has never had one in the past. Personally, I don't think he could go wrong at either OSU or Michigan, or if he had decided on Oregon or any other number of schools. But PSU would be a big mistake, IMO. There's just no way he'd develop in that system with that coaching staff. Ultimately, I doubt he chooses there, but you never know.

Why now? ESPN and other various media outlets are in hotels waiting to make the trip to your school to cover the press conference. Why reconsider a school that you have ALWAYS lived 2 hours from.Originally Posted by Caseyfan21

Witty signature.
I think Terrelle Pryor has a serious case of the "me's".
If he comes to OSU, great. If not, oh well. I think he's looking for the most groveling. If that's the case, he's headed to Michigan.
Some people play baseball. Baseball plays Jay Bruce.
The local news station just interviewed Jenkins on committing to WVU. He was asked why he didn't commit to Ohio State and he replied that Ohio State had an offensive line called the "Brew Crew" coming in and recruiting everybody to play. He said he wanted to be his own player and not live under the "Brew Crew" moniker.
I think Pryor is just legitimately conflicted. Some people have a hard time making these types of decisions because they're afraid they'll always wonder if the other place would have been better. It's not that uncommon. What is uncommon is the amount of attention he's gotten in the process. But what Pryor is doing isn't all that unusual. I wish people would give the guy some space. Instead, reporters are trying to get a scoop by talking to his friends and relatives. I wish they'd just shut their mouths as well.
It is an incredibly tough decision.

Yea, I feel for the kid too. Choosing the right college is a tough decision all on its own...I just can't imagine adding this media circus and pressure (real or perceived) to the mix. It's got to be tough for an 18-year old boy. I hope the decision he makes works out for him and I hope he doesn't waste a lot of time second guessing himself in the future. Myself, I'd try to anonymously go to the campus, (probably impossible at this point,) just wander around and get a 'feel' for the place. I'd trust the universe to give me a sign at some point. I think if he gets some peace and quiet and does a little soul searching, it'll come to him.

Harris to Miami.
Good luck to him.
I think he'll end up being the best CB in this class.
Oregon now back in it according to Pryor.
I don't know where he ends up anymore - really no idea. But I think its funny how a lot of OSU fans stated things like "lock to OSU" and "he's going to OSU he's just milking it." Obviously the kid is torn and we know nothing - why can't we just say that, or use words like "strong lean"

Sorry - here is the blurb from ESPN's recruiting blog (from his press conference today that he still half-heartedly held):
12:06 p.m.: Terrelle Pryor on ESPNU, "I will not make my commitment. ... I haven't that much time to concentrate on the recruiting process and need more time."
Pryor also said Oregon is back in the mix; he is choosing between Ohio State, Penn State, Michigan and Oregon. He has until April 1st to make his decision.

He's taking a visit to Oregon. Oregon has some of the nicest facilities in the nation...
I saw his press conference... looks to me like the kid is doing the right thing.
It's the media who are to blame, not the kid.
Michigan lands mobile QB
Posted: Wednesday February 06, 2008 06:22AM ET
Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez looks to have found the one thing that has alluded the Michigan football program for decades: a mobile quarterback. But his name isn't Terrelle Pryor. Justin Feagin, a three-star athlete from Delray Beach (FL) American Heritage School, plans to commit to the Wolverines on Wednesday, according to the Palm Beach Post.
School's out. What did you expect?
Oregon daddy's pick? If he is indeed all-world, I would much rather he would be out there than in our own conference.
..and Ohio State has Antonio Henton.
I think Pryor has a case of the heebee-jeebies, but I think he's still looking for that school to drool all over him.

Talk to the national pundits, such as SI.com and ESPN.com that nationally brought out the story. It wasn't just Mr. Bucknuts and Bill Kurelic.
