Absolutely, he could change his choice tonight the way this has unfolded. But I haven't seen any national analyst say anything other than OSU this past week.

By tomorrow, he will either be adored by Buckeye nation or hated more than Charles Woodson.

No in-between.

Funny how that works.

Not for me. Charles Woodson was a traitor, an Ohio boy that went to Michigan. If Pryor doesn't go to tOSU, it will likely be to his home state school (PSU), and as a buckeye fan I can respect that...

You and me both. You probably do realize that we are in the minority though, right? Of course, maybe I exaggerrated a tad. I don't think anyone can equal the hate there is/was for Woodson.

Lake Orion, Michigan?

How did we pull you away from the dark side young clogger of bases?

My dad went to tOSU and my family is from Cincy

Re: Ohio State Football Recruiting
OSU has had their fair share of recruits from Michigan. Vernon Gholston comes to mind.

True. But Krenzel was not someone a lot of teams were interested in. I don't think he spurned the Wolverines to come to Columbus.

Re: Ohio State Football Recruiting
By all accounts, if Pryor picks anybody but OSU, it will be a shock.

On the same note, I don't know what kind of kid he is, if he really wanted to put off his decision so he could focus on school and the tournament, but I do believe the drama behind the whole recruiting process is going to force him to live up to standards that he has placed entirely on himself.

Regardless of where Pryor goes, he will have to live up to the hype for the whole circus his recruiting process has undergone, unlike say Julius Jones, who kept his pretty much quiet.

Re: Ohio State Football Recruiting
So you guys name two players from Michigan that went to tOSU, while Michigan has had two Heisman Trophy winners (out of three ) from Ohio...

Wasn't Woodson from the Toledo area? That area up there is more pro UM than it is OSU.

As a Toledo resident I can tell you that is absolutely not true. It's basically a 50/50 split. The Buckeye fans are out a little more right now, but that's because OSU is the more successful team.

Woodson by the way was from Fremont, about 45-60 minutes away. It's considered part of the whole NW Ohio area, but too far to be Toledo metro.
