He is the kind of talent that only comes across every few years, sometimes even less. How did you come to your conclusion?
On a different note, Pryor's coach may have exaggerated. But he is still faster than Pat White.

My point is his build, and having looked at him, he is closer to a WR build than a RB - I still think that's the case. Can he run effectively? Sure. Can he do it as many times as Pat White does over the coarse of a season - especially designed runs? I don't think his body can handle it. T. Pryor = Vince Young, more than, T Pryor = Pat White.

Besides if he goes to scUM, starts from day 1, and Mallett transfers - he is going to have one hell of a rough freshman year. If he were going to run the identical offense I'd say it would behoove him to sit for at least a year to bulk up.
Pat White is 6-2 and less than 200 lbs. What makes you think that Pryor can't handle the beating that pat white takes? Remember that Pryor is 6-6 235 pounds.

btw, you did say that Pryor was not as fast as white.

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.
