Terrelle Pryor, is he Worthe all of the Hype?

The number 1 football recruit and 28th ranked basketball recruit in the class of 2008 according to rivals.com was recently in the news again, but this time it was for a brawl that occurred after his basketball team's game against Pittsburgh North Catholic. Pryor was evidently held back by an assistant coach as players began to fight after they shook hands. This isn't the first time that Terrelle has been around a bad situation. In October, he was escorted out of Kennywood Park in Pennsylvania for disorderly conduct.
Yes, he is just an 18 year old kid, but isn't that a blip on the radar screen if you are a college coach recruiting this young man? Obviously not, because he is still being hounded by Ohio State, Michigan, Oregon and Penn State. I am concerned, because I am an Ohio State fan and I have always thought that Jim Tressel recruited well rounded student-athletes. Ohio State fans already know what it is like to have a pre-madonna. (Maurice Clarette)
Watch some of his highlights from football and basketball games and see what you think. Bumping into players on purpose, taunting players, jumping on the scores table after a big dunk, etc.. Some players do get emotional and that is fine, but some athletes can go to far.
Do not get me wrong. He is a tremendous athlete! 6-6, 225 and awesome athletic ability. My concern is how is he going to handle 102, 000 at the Horseshoe, or The Big House? Classes, student life, practice, teammates, and most importantly, authority?
The red flag should have been raised when he decided not to sign and visit other schools. That is fine, but these schools are holding a scholarship for him and one of them will get burned when he doesn't sign with them. He has until April 1st to make his final decision, but by then all of the supposed instant impact players are already enrolled in their schools and have started Spring practice. Which brings up another reason of concern. Why isn't he enrolling early, so he can participate in Spring practice? Most of us would say because of basketball, which he is still playing. That is just a question to ponder because if I thought that football could possibly be my profession, I would want to get a head start and get to practice early. Maybe he thinks he does not need to enroll early because he is good enough to step on the field already.
Pryor will be at Penn State Saturday for an unofficial visit as Jeannette plays in the Pennsylvania state finals. Whoever lands Terrelle Pryor will have to wait and see whether he is over hyped or not, but for now, I think he will need a lot of guidance.

The Nation's #1 Recruit, Terrelle Pryor has a Big Decision to Make as Signing Day Nears




February 6, 2008, could be the shot heard round the world all over again. The nation's number one high school football recruit must chose where to continue his career. Will it be Ohio State, Michigan, LSU, or Oregon? That's what everyone is asking themselves right now.


I have never seen an athlete that has captured the entire state of Ohio and Michigan like Pryor has done. What will he do, who will he chose? That's all you hear, and see on the web. I honestly think he is starting to toy with these schools by saying who is in the lead and wearing their clothing. He wore a Michigan sweatshirt before the High School All-American game, then placed a Buckeye Leaf on his helmet. So, you tell me, is he getting too cocky, or over his head, is his true colors starting to unfold before all of us that believe he will be the savior?


He says he would also like to play basketball. He is a tremendous talent and a top 100 basketball player (scouts inc), but is he really going to play hoops and take the chance of losing millions of dollars by getting hurt? What do you think? How many coaches will be HONESTLY willing to take that chance? I am sure they are all going to tell him that he can play both right away, but in the end, he will be playing football and only football.


I believe there have been plenty of number one quarterbacks coming out of high school and end up falling flat on their face. Jimmy Clausen anyone........ I don't think Pryor will fall, but someone will need to keep a close eye on him. Sometimes these players seem to get way ahead of themselves. Maurice Clarette????

In the end, I think Terrelle Pryor will be a tremendous asset to any football program, but it is going to take a great coach to truly bring out the best in a pre-madonna. If he goes to my beloved Buckeyes then great. If he doesn't, then I will not lose any sleep over it at least not until late November when a certain team comes to visit the Horseshoe.

Athlete's in Trouble: Randy Moss, Joakim Noah, OJ Simpson





Seems to be a reaccuring theme, athletes in trouble. Or are they???? Randy Moss hitting a woman.....no, seriously????? Noah acting like a spoiled bratt....you've got to be kidding! And of course, OJ back in the slammer.....that I can believe, but will the glove fit this time?

For once, I believe Randy Moss. I don't think that he did anything wrong and he will be cleared of any petty law-suits. I think he is a stand up guy and would admitt to it. We as the public have a perceived notion that he is a thug from West Virginia and that is it.....guilty, guilty as charged. Why don't we wait and let the dust settle before we charge him in the public eye. He is innocent and a good person, who does good deeds, but the media doesn't want to talk about that.

Noah, just a spoiled rich boy! Right??? Let me see, he was like that all of his life. Very outspoken. It must have done something because it has got him 2 Nat'l titles, a fat NBA contract. Is he the reason the Bulls suck? Hell no!! I believe Paxson knew his background before he drafted him and still took him, so why the Bulls suck? You know the answer. Kobe anyone??????

OJ,OJ,OJ, come on man........... You are the most wanted man in the world by the public and you do something this ignorant. I def. don't feel sorry for you. I did at one time, but go and play golf the rest of your life, instead, you hold up petty thiefs for a 50.00 autograph football.. I'm afraid you wont get a fair trial because there is no jury in the world that will say the glove doesn't fit now!!!!!!!

what do you think?????????
