Every time I put Terrelle Pryor's name into a sentence with Pitt, people say "keep dreaming Markus." Pitt has an amazing recruiting class this year with Jonathan Baldwin, Lucas Nix, and Shayne Hale all commiting to the Panthers. I have to say thanks to Cameron Saddler (RB from Gateway) because he is the student recruiter who got Shayne Hale to commit.
Anyway back to Terrelle Pryor, if the Panthers could land this kid, it would have to be the best recruit to ever come to Pitt. He is the consensus #1 recruit in the country. Here are some good reasons why I think Terrelle Pryor should choose the hometown Panthers.
1. Some of the top colleges that Pryor lists (Florida, Ohio St, LSU now too), have QBs that will be the starter next year. He will be limited to spot duties, kind of what Tim Tebow did with Chris Leak at Florida. The only colllege I see other than Pitt that will allow him to have the starting job from day 1 is Michigan. However, I know Terrell Pryor is not that stupid enough to play for that West Virginia backstabber Rich Rod. Nobody wants to play for the biggest choker in a sure bet game. PITT 13- wvu 9. If Terrelle Pryor comes to Pitt the starting QB job is his from the start.
2. All of the colleges that Terrelle Pryor lists are already on top. I have heard that he wants to leave his name on a program. What better way to do it then by taking the hometown team from a 5-7 record to Big East Champions? Or even a surprise national title game? If Terrelle Pryor comes to Pitt he will truly leave his name among the greats.
3. His father is a huge Pitt fan from what I know, and he is also physically disabled. He is in a wheelchair, and the best way for his father to see him play would be if he stayed at home. Terrelle Pryor has continually said he wants to get away, but I think he will make the right choice and give his father the oppurtunity to see him play.
4. If he truly wants to play basketball, Pitt is the only place that will give him a legit shot at playing both. Ohio St, Michigan, and Florida are continually fighting for the national championship in football. There is no way they would let him play both sports, and Pitt gives him the best opportunity to do so. plus, Pitt gave Darelle Revis the option of doing both until Revis decided to focus just on football.
5. If Pitt goes to the spread offense if he comes, (which Dave Wanny said we would if he did) he would be surronded by great offensive players. LeSean McCoy, Derek Kinder, Nate Byham, Cam Saddler, and Jonathan Baldwin.
What people don't remember is that he committed to Pitt in his sophomore year. He knows the campus well and is pretty comfortable with the area. I think Terrelle Pryor wants to shock the world on signing day.
TP TO PITT ON SIGNING DAY!
Pitt will give him the best chance to make it to the pros, Michigan and Ohio State put a death to a QB's pro prospects
ReplyDeleteTerrelle Pryor will never sink so low to go to Pitt. That team gives him no potential around him, other than McCoy. Michigan is the best school for him: a favorable coach, big on football, small on basketball, like Terrelle. If he goes to Pitt, he has no shot at becoming a pro player because he won't have experience playing with high talent levels, to any degree.
ReplyDeletePryor goes to either: 1. Michigan, 2. Ohio State, 3. Penn State
No Potential around him? Having Nate Byham the #1 ranked TE prospect, and Jonatahan Baldwin 6'6 WR ranked in the top 25 in the country. I would say there is 'potential' there. Rich Rodriquez would use him just like Pat White. I think it is safe to Pat White is not going to the NFL. If he wants to be a vince young, he will go somewhere not focused entirely on a spread offense.
ReplyDeleteCheck out today's post gazette. He says he is going to go down to pitt and talk with the coaches. TP wants to shock the world. Tp to pitt on signing day
Rodriguez runs the spread offense. Right now, Pryor is not a pro prospect; he's just not a great passer, which matters most. I will guarantee and bet my life that Terrelle Pryor won't go to Pitt. FSU, my team, has a better chance of getting him, considering he can cheat on exams to stay off academic probation.
ReplyDeleteoh, and kmelvin, have you heard of Tom Brady?
ReplyDeleteTerrelle Pryor is a confused kid. I now hear he is going to move is announcement date back. He will go with the school he knows the best: PITT. TP to pitt on whatever day! Yeah that is sad, your bringing up your own team's ugly mistakes.
