Countdown to the Most Hyped Recruiting Announcement Ever: Terrelle Pryor Chooses a College
Terrelle Pryor, the number one college football recruit for 2008, has finally made a decision.
Well, almost.
Pryor, along with a few other top recruits, didn’t choose a school on National Signing Day, and his moves have been watched closely every since. Last word was that he was deciding between Oregon, Penn State, Michigan, and Ohio State. Rivals is reporting that he’s since said it was down to two of those schools. Which two? He’s keeping his lips zipped, but we all pretty much know that Penn State is out of the running.
Why? Because Pryor isn’t a dumbass… Because Pryor has mentioned in the past that he didn’t really like the area. Top that off with an unstable coaching future, a horrible current quarterback coach, and a missed official visit, and you can guess that he’s not even considering PSU anymore, which is too bad. It’s probably for his best, though, since we all saw what happened to Anthony Morelli, who was also a top recruiting coming into the NCAA system.
So it’s down to Oregon, Ohio State, and Michigan. Let’s assume that Oregon is out of the running as well. He’s never even been there.
While, I agree with the Rivals report that he’s likely going to choose Ohio State, I strongly believe that purely from a football standpoint, he’d have a better chance at Michigan. With Ryan Mallet gone, there’s no one left to step up into Chad Henne’s spot (at least, no one worth mentioning at this point), so Pryor could very well see lots of playing time his freshman year.
Of course, that might lead to a Jimmy Clausen scenerio…
In any case, Pryor has promised to make the announcement by the end of the week. He’s been busy with basketball, and thought he might be playing a game in State College last weekend, so didn’t want to make any anti-PSU (or pro-PSU) confirmation before that.
Pryor’s a smart kid with a lot of athletic potential. I am sick of hearing about him though. I respect his decision to wait until he was sure, but it’s time to decide. Put on your hate, Pryor!
