T. Pryor just announced...

[Tank]

He will NOT sign a Letter of intent today.


He says he is still deciding between tOSU and Meechigan.


I guess he just did not get the attention he was looking for up to this point.



I am sure Tressel and RR are none to happy...

A hunch says he ultimately winds up at Penn State.

 

[Bayerithe]

he's not being a primadonna, he's got an official visit still scheduled to take to Penn State, a school that would keep him much closer to home.

Didn't he have us on his list early on?

 

[l00p]

Yes he did. It appears that location will be important to him in the end. I don't blame kids when they feel this. Sure, later on they will have to move around depending on how their career goes but family is important to a lot on high levels.

It seems like Mr. Pryor very much is torn and does not know what to do with this very important decision in his life. Good luck, young man. It won't get easier when you are among the only kids, maybe the only big name, to not have signed yet. He will be fun to follow in college wherever he ends up.

Later this afternoon we started hearing he will now also take a trip to Oregon. He does expect to make a decision in the next 2 weeks. I can't back this up but it is from someone I consider reliable, his dad is pushing him to visit PSU. His mom wants OSU. Terelle is not yet 18 and his dad refused to sign his LOI because he wants him to visit and/or choose PSU. I've been told OSU has told him to take his time, his scholarship is still there.

If you think about all the people who've been after this kid - either to recruit him, to find out where he's going, what he's doing and then add in the long football season and right in to a very heavy basketball season, he's really had a very hectic time. In PA they apparently can push back (reschedule) their basketball games if their football team is in the playoffs. His school did that and for at least one week recently he had a basketball game very night plus they play in tournaments on the weekend - and he has school work.

It might not be bad for him to catch his breath and figure out what he wants to do - of course it could still come back down to him wanting to do something but his dad saying no. I hope the kid goes where his heart tells him. Yes, I hope it is OSU but if not, that's ok. We'll be ok and he'll be ok.

One thing to note, his dad is in a wheel chair so having him play close to home is probably even more of a consideration for his dad. If you look at that, I wonder if Oregon is a serious consideration although I've heard they truly have the best facilities anywhere.
