I dont know about you guys, but this whole Terrelle Pryor thing had just gotten completely out of hand.  The kind is just a publicity hound, looking for any and all attempts to get on national tv.  He said he pushed back his commitment because he wanted to be able to take trips to other schools (ie Oregon), but really didn't go anywhere.  What worse is that, since the kid is so close to Pittsburgh, a lot of people (including myself to a degree) held out the slightest hope DW would get to him and pull him into being a Panther.  Thank God he didn't, because he looks like a potential program-ruiner with his "Terrelle-first" attitude.  When you want your town to name a street after you, that's a rather large ego.

Its been over for us for a long time,i mean i don't think the Penn St8rs really thought they would get him either.I think its been the buckeyes all along even b4 RR left WVU.Also RR left WVU for Michigan not Terrelle Pryor.There are more Rasheed Marshalls and Pat Whites than Pryors(if he pans out).Now back to PItt, whats up with moving Dickerson to TE?

I agree that it has been over for a long time...thats why It is ridiculous that the whole saga had to take so long.  Oh well, let's start working on Dorian Bell haha.

Dickerson had to be moved to TE.  Recruited as a receiver, he was never able to make an impact in the deep receiver corp during his freshman year.   So he was moved to linebacker, where he was undersized (ie a Tommie Campbell replacement) and couldnt really make a difference. 

Now at TE, he and Nate should combine to provide a dangerous tandem at the position.  Both are extremely versatile athletes with great speed, and even better hands.  What is even more impressive about these two is their work ethic.  They were both highly touted coming out of high school, and have worked hard to get themselves ready to play college football.   

Hopefully TE can provide Dorin with a stable position in which he can use his great athleticism.  With his speed, he poses a matchup problem for most linebackers in the country.  Hopefully he can pick up the blocking in time to make a difference this year.  Otherwise we might be seeing him at punter next year.

Well, the Buckeyes got their drama queen, lets see what happens...

Funniest part of his conference was when he said he did not like all the attention he has had to deal with...Sure Terrelle, I have a bridge I can sell you while we are at it.  What a punk..I say good riddance.

Let's see if I can properly track Pryor's Football Career.

He plays for Ohio State for three years, coming out as a junior, he may even win them a National Title through "heart and determination" He'll be talked about by all the media types because of his "Athletic ability" and the scouts will rave about his "measurables."

He'll be drafted in the top 5 by some hapless team looking for a QB because they consistently suck at drafting. The team will buy all the hype about his "ability" and "measurables" and completely ignore the fact that he doesn't have any of the leadership and other intangibles a good QB needs. The team around him will have managed to put together a good defense and decent running game and he will lead his team to several 8-8 years in spite ove being completely terrible as a passer. His fans will make excuses about a lack of receivers (Possibly inspite of his back up having good completion rates to the same group of recievers) or say that "all he does is win" inspite the fact that at best he just soesn't screw up enough to overcome his good defense in running game. Through all this I'll die a little inside.

Sound familiar?
