Re: Ohio State Football Recruiting

If I was Pryor I'd go to Oregon.

I'm a Michigan fan but the west coast is awful nice.

I hope he stays out of the Pac-10, but I think Oregon would be the best fit for him. Oregon runs the best version of the spread offense I have seen. Chip Kelly, the Oregon OC, is an offensive genius.

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"
Either he is torn or is milking the process. I'm starting to think he is going to be a major headcase despite all the talent.(OJ Mayo says hello)

I haven't gotten that impression at all.

He has had literally ZERO time to devote to the schools recruiting him with his hectic basketball schedule.

Re: Ohio State Football Recruiting

Thad needs to give Pryor a ring and let him know that if he comes to tOSU, that he can play some basketball too if he wants.

The NCAA might have a problem with that!

Not really. He's still a basketball recruit until he signs the LOI. Just be careful of the wording, can't mention football specifically, I don't think. The fact that OSU has no basketball scholarship openings shouldn't change that.

I don't think basketball is in a silent period right now, so there would be no inherent violation.

Re: Ohio State Football Recruiting

I heard on the radio that Pryor is still 99% sure he is going with his original choice. The host on a national radio show (not Columbus radio) said Pryor was basically forced by his dad to visit Penn State because his dad loves Coach Bradley at PSU. Daddy wouldn't sign the LOI since Terrelle is 17, that's even with him not being a legal guardian of Terrelle. Anything can happen when he visits in two weeks. I just can't imagine the relationships and comfort level he has with Ohio State would suddenly change because his dad who lives 200 miles from him is getting massive love from a PSU coach.

Never know with 17 year olds though In all honesty if I was a PSU fan I would want Pryor only if he truly changes his mind and makes the decision for himself. Pick the school and not the forced situation. Ryan Mallet at Michigan is a great example. He picked Michigan for Scott Loefler and the pro style offense and reportedly never felt comfortable at Michigan. These guys are so hyped they are thinking about the NFL over everything else at times.

What are you implying again? I'm confused.

Why would he need to? Ohio State has already paid him in the minds of PSU, Michigan, and Oregan fans anyway.

That was just the first thing some of us noticed when reading that post...

I got it then and now. Just had to ask.

I myself can't wait to see Terrelle Pryor in certain situations this upcoming year. But on the basketball court? Couldn't care less.
