Apparently RR called Pryor this morning to tell him before he even announced it to his team because he wanted to see if Pryor would have any interest in joing him there. He also told Pryor that he will be keeping the wxact same offence at UM that he had at WVU. Pryor also said that Michgan is back on his list and they are now right at the top with a few other teams and that he's trying to schedule a visit to UM. His list now includes Ohio State, Florida, Penn State, Oregon, and Michigan. Both Michigan and Oregon are new to the list and he dropped WVU and Tennessee after the departures of RR and Cutcliff.

I realize Pryor is a great talent, but the longer his recruitment goes he sounds like he wants everything his way. Wait and here me out. It's been reported that he was not sure Ohio State would run an offense that would use his overall talents. Then he puts Oregon in his top five because of the success they've had this yr. with Dixon at QB. I understand him dropping WVU because of RR leaving. But why Tenn., even when Cutcliff was head coach at Miss. they still basically ran the same off. I may be way off but it seems to me that even though he doesn't say alot publicaly he's got one huge ego.

I dunno kid just wants to do what is right for him. I can't see him being that great in RR's offense because he doesn't have the speed of White, and I think he is too tall to run as often as they do. He is muscular, but too lanky to take that kind of beating. RR sure seems to want him pretty badly, but he seems like a better suit as a Vince Young guy who is pocket QB that just makes plays when he needs to. Right now he is a potent runner because he is the biggest guy out there. Just wait until he has someone like Brian Smith coming after him. His best options are OSU and Oregon... but who knows where he will end up.

There are so many things wrong with that statement that I don't even know where to start. TP is FAST. Very fast. Deceptively fast. He runs a sub 4.4. If you see him on film, it seems like he's just ambling across, but he runs past everybody. He is big, 6-6, 220. He is muscular, and lean. He can take quite a beating. He is the kind of talent that only comes across every few years, sometimes even less. How did you come to your conclusion?

**piyachi** · 12-17-2007, 01:29 AM

By watching the tape that was available of him. I'm not saying he isn't fast - I actually never said that and didn't even imply it. He is so much like Vince Young in that he is a long strider and while running quickly doesn't look like he is even trying. (No need to get your hackles up just because you want to get the guy - he is talented). But he sure is not Pat White. I don't think someone who is 6-6 is going to weather running 20 times a game against good defenses. He can do a lot with his legs but that kind of running takes a toll on your body, and I think he would end up injured if you tried to fit him into that system. I'm not trying to knock the guy - he has serious potential. Just not as much trying to make him into White.

Piyachi, I completely agree with you. Pryor is very much like Vince Young, who is a special athlete and dominated in high school. Everything you said was dead on.
