I thought Pryor was a 100% commit to anOSU?

Didn't you hear that Jesus Christ is an '08 commit, too? Idiot.

he hasn't verballed to anyone yet. Out of his original top 5, only OSU remains. He only added SCum because dick rod left WVU for SCum.

It is all speculation at this point.

All we know is that he has become very very very close to a lot of the OSU commits. His strongest relationship is with Mike Brewster, Mike Adams and Devier Posey. He was originally going to room with Brewster at the Army All American game but Brewster was out with an injury and didn't get there until Wednesday of that week so he roomed with someone else. When he (Brewster)got there, he switched rooms and moved into Brewster's room. He had the buckeye sticker on his helmet during the game, he claimed it was a joke by Brewster, but he never took it off.

He wants to stay close to home but wants to take all 5 visits. His grandfather (whom Terrelle lives with) says he already knows where he is going but is not releasing it until signing day. LSU and Oregon, even though he will visit, are pretty much out of it.

His mom is quoted as being a strong lean towards OSU and he has been quoted as taking his mothers opinion serious.

So it is all speculation but it all leans towards OSU. I, personally, am starting to question whether I even want the kid anymore. He seems a bit like a prima donna and the QB recruits that are this hyped up usually turn out to be a joke (Jimmy Clausen, ND) and the recruits no one even thought of turn out to be world beaters (Troy Smith).

Oh, and now it is being said (by people in the know on the SCum side) that the SCum visit didn't go that well and that Pryor was sending text messages to other OSU recruits during the SCum bball game v. Iowa. They are saying that they have the feeling that he was not too interested or impressed all weekend.

I really want to know where this myth came from that Troy Smith was a nobody.

The guy attended the Elite 11 QB camp after his senior year in HS. Scout.com had him ranked right with Zwick around 14th/15th for QBs that year. He, along with Zwick, were both 4 star prospects.

Yeah, he wasn't lauded like Vince Young or Trend Edwards were in that class, but he was hardly an afterthought.

As to the best QBs not turning out? Eh. Looking back at the past few years' top 5 QBs we see:

2002 (3/5)-- Vince Young, Trent Edwards, Ben Olson (?), Reggie McNeal, Gavin Dickey

2003 (3/5) -- John David Booty, Kyle Wright, Chris Leak, JaMarcus Russel, and Tommy Grady (This could be 4/5, as Wright started a lot, but I don't count him cuz he sucks.)

2004 (1/5) -- Rhett Bomar, Xavier Lee, Anthony Morelli, Chad Henne, Kirby Freeman (Sad group here. Lee & Morelli played & didn't impress. Bomar got kicked out of school. Only Henne really delivered)

It's too soon to really say on the next classes as those guys were only sophomores this past season. From the looks of it I'd say that being a top 5 rated QB doesn't guarantee success, but it looks like you've got a pretty good chance of being a good player.

As for Pryor specifically? If I had to guess it'd be OSU. I could see UM because it's a good fit in that offense, but I'd be pretty surprised if it were anyone but those two.

Troy was offered the last scholarship as an athlete in his class. He almost didn't even get an offer. Ted Ginn Sr. talked OSU into giving him a chance.

He was an after thought, in OSU's eyes anyways. I do not know where else he had offers, and I know he was in the elite camp but nobody really wanted him.

Check it, last scholarship and Ted Ginn had to talk OSU into making the offer.

There was an article in the Akron Beacon Journal saying this was a 3 horse race between OSU, UM and Penn State...although PSU seems to have fallen back of the other two.

This kid's numbers in PA HS football were STAGGERING.

Oregon is in the hunt. Its facilities are supposed to be amazing, thanks to Phil Knight.

The scuttlebutt down here is that he's a strong OSU lean, and PSU has almost no shot. Nobody really knows anything until a kid signs though.

I was just there in Aug 07 and Autzen Stadium is an awesome stadium. I did see the practice fields and athletic facility but didn't get a chance to go inside. I'd love to see a game there someday.

At this point I'd be pretty surprised if he didn't end up a Buckeye.

Get ready to be surprised.....just confirmed that Terrell will NOT sign on signing day - Penn State still in the mix and he wants to go visit Joe Pa.
