Sorry fryer, the credit should have gone to you.Still praying he comes to Columbus. I heard Duane Long, a recruiting guru say he thought the chances of Pryor coming to OSU were very high. He said he would be shocked if Pryor landed anywhere esle. Long is a contributor to Bucknuts, an OSU site so I'm sure his opinion is a little skewed. Here's to hope though.

you are basing an opinion off someone who contributes to something called Bucknuts? I should have a joke ready but I think my first sentence says it all.....oh and "recruiting guru"? according to who? I have never heard of that guy and I am just enough of a geek to know the big name guys in this sleazy field (luginbill, etc.)

Pryor pares down his listMichigan, Ohio State appear to be final 2Tuesday, January 29, 2008By Mike White, Pittsburgh Post-GazetteIt looks like the battle for Jeannette High School quarterback Terrelle Pryor is coming down to a two-horse race between Ohio State and Michigan.Pryor said yesterday he has crossed LSU off his final list and decided not to visit Oregon this week because he won't have time. Pryor also plays basketball and Jeannette has games tonight, Friday in Philadelphia and Saturday at Jeannette. Pryor plans to announce his college choice Feb. 6.Pryor has not crossed Oregon and Penn State off his list, but it's highly unlikely Pryor would choose Oregon without ever visiting the place. Chip Kelly, Oregon's quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator, is scheduled to meet with Pryor today at Jeannette.Penn State coach Joe Paterno is scheduled to visit Pryor tomorrow. That's significant because Paterno doesn't visit many high school players anymore.But Penn State isn't as high on Pryor's list as Ohio State and Michigan.Coaches from both of those rival schools also are expected to come to Jeannette in the next few days.

And another Pryor update...Recruiting: Pryor '50-50' on delaying his decisionThursday, January 31, 2008By Mike White, Pittsburgh Post-GazetteHigh school football players can sign a binding letter of intent with a college starting Wednesday. But Jeannette quarterback Terrelle Pryor might not sign with anyone that day.Pryor had planned to announce his college decision live on ESPN Wednesday. But he said yesterday he might wait at least a few days to make his choice."I'd say it's about 50-50 that I'll push things back," Pryor said.One of the main reasons Pryor might not sign Wednesday is because he is thinking about making an official visit to the University of Oregon some time next week.Earlier this week, it seemed the race was down to Ohio State and Michigan because Pryor wasn't going to visit Oregon. If Pryor visits Oregon, the Ducks will still have a chance at landing him.Pryor also said yesterday Penn State is not out of the running. Penn State coach Joe Paterno visited with Pryor at Jeannette yesterday. Paterno's son, Jay, Penn State's quarterbacks coach, and defensive coordinator Tom Bradley also were there. They also visited with Pryor's father at his home.Steelers quarterback Charlie Batch and Pryor's mother were in on the meeting with the Penn State coaches at Jeannette. Batch is helping Pryor in the recruiting process as a mentor."It went OK," Pryor said of the meeting. "I just don't know about the area up there. I don't know if I'd like being in that kind of area."Ohio State coach Jim Tressel and Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez plan to attend Pryor's basketball game Saturday night and meet with him afterward. Jeannette football coach Ray Reitz said Rodriguez is planning to bring seven assistant coaches with him.

Don't you bring facts into this debate, DON'T YOU DO IT!

[Bshealey786]

Over the past two bowl seasons the SEC is 13-5.....the Big Ten 5-10. In this decade the SEC is 36-25 in bowls while big ten is in last with a 21-32 recordHeads up in bowl games(which is virtually the only time we play) over the past 5 years we are an even 9-9, since 1993 the SEC leads it 18-15. Go back to the early 1900's SEC leads it 33-20.This bowl season we took 2/3(your beloved UF loss = your win which was a very close and good game)....and most importantly in the past 2 seasons the big ten has lost to the SEC in the game that matters most, and these were not close games by any means. So forget all the other games, this was the best of your conference vs the best of our conference and we dominated both years.Facts aside, I am not saying Michigan and Ohio St. are not top level football teams, but to compare the entire SEC conference to the entire Big Ten conference is just a joke. From top to bottom SEC is THE best in college football, and there isn't much to argue there.

Except that you like to ignore facts.Since 2000 (as in this century) the Big-10 is 14-13 vs the SEC, thats not domination... not even close. Not to mention SEC teams never go on the road to play anyone. Florida hasn't left the state of Florida for a OOC game since 91 and that game they got spanked by Syracuse.Please go find a SEC thread were all this has been pointed out and educate yourself.

Pryor to decide Wednesday.Monday, February 04, 2008By Mike White, Pittsburgh Post-GazetteDecision day will be at noon Wednesday for Terrelle Pryor.Pryor, star quarterback at Jeannette High School, said today he is "80 to 90 percent sure" he will announce his choice at a news conference Wednesday. He had been considering pushing back his decision a week or so, and possibly visiting the University of Oregon.But Pryor said he will not visit Oregon and the Ducks are out of the picture."I have to call them today and tell them," Pryor said.Pryor said he will decide among Ohio State, Michigan and Penn State, although Ohio State and Michigan have been the leaders all along.Jeannette school officials are also making preparations for the announcement Wednesday in the school gymnasium. Jeannette principal Stu Albaugh said only Pryor's invited guests and media members will be permitted to attend. The public is not welcome.ESPN and CSTV plan to announce Pryor's decision live. Sports Illustrated and the Washington Post are sending reporters and newspapers from Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan also will be represented.

I'm guessing the UM fans won't be thanking me for this update...Pryor apparently leaning toward BuckeyesTuesday, February 05, 2008By Mike White, Pittsburgh Post-GazetteJeannette quarterback Terrelle Pryor plans to announce his college choice Wednesday and indications are it will be Ohio State.A few of Pryor's friends and acquaintances told the Post-Gazette Ohio State is Pryor's top choice. One unnamed source said Pryor told him recently he would sign with Ohio State.Pryor, though, has said he has not made up his mind. He will announce Wednesday at noon and said Monday his three finalists are Ohio State, Michigan and Penn State. He also said he will not reveal his choice to anyone until a noon news conference that will be carried live by ESPNU and CSTV.Trinity senior linebacker Andrew Sweat, an Ohio State recruit, and two other Buckeye recruits met with Pryor a week-and-half ago in Jeannette. Sweat believes Pryor will choose Ohio State."He didn't tell me he was committed, but he sounded like he was going to Ohio State," Sweat said.Sweat and linemen J.B. Shugarts of Klein, Texas, and Mike Brewster of Orlando, Fla., attended Pryor's basketball game Jan. 26, and had pizza with Pryor after the game. Shugarts and Brewster are already enrolled at Ohio State, and Sweat will enroll in March."He said some pretty strong stuff about Ohio State. He said how he's just comfortable there and he really likes coach [Jim] Tressel," Sweat said. "You never know, but I'd be shocked if he didn't sign with Ohio State."Sweat said Ohio State's coaches believe they will get Pryor. Last Friday, Tressel was at Gateway and Montour high schools recruiting junior players. Gateway coach Terry Smith and Montour coach Lou Cerro said Tressel sounded confident about landing Pryor.Sweat will enroll at Ohio State in March. This past November, Pryor told the Post-Gazette there was a good chance he would enroll in college in March. Unlike Michigan and Penn State, Ohio State's academic calendar is in quarters. The spring quarter at Ohio State begins March 24, one week after the finish of high school basketball in Pennsylvania.
