Rumor Becomes More

by fugimaster24 on Mar 18, 2008 3:29 PM EDT

Remember that rumor we talked about last week that showed up on the message boards? Well, I guess its getting some steam behind it after this article by Rivals.com.

Now, I really hae no problem if he chooses Ohio St. It seems like the consensus around here that the kid would only represent a moral victory, and really wouldn't help out the team to the point that he has been hyped. Add to that the fact that we generally agree hes a primadona, and I don't think it irks us too much to see him go elsewhere.

What I do have a problem with is guys like this Farrell clown calling him up after every public comment he makes, and trying to get the sccop. Does he not realize that he has created the monster that has become Terrelle Pryor? This is EXACTLY what is going wrong with college football. How much hype have sites like Rivals and Scout put on this kid? Can he live up to it? What about the arrogance and entitlement he seems to now feel after this process? At one point, Terrelle Pryor may have been a great fit at Penn State, but the furthur into this we get, the more it seems like the hype has turned him into something I don't think Penn State is supposed to represent. People gave Morelli hell around here for yelling at UM fans and not being a leader. How do those people feel about Pryor? Do leaders punch kids that they're clearly better than in hallways? Do they stand on scoring tables and insult their opponents? Do they string millions of people along just to keep the attention on them?

No.

Good riddence Terrell Pryor, and I mean that. You've managed to turn a lot of people against you before you've even picked a school, and even if you do pick Penn State, I'm not sure many people will be pulling for you to be named the starter as a freshman or sophmore, or even a junior. You've turned a lot of Penn State fans against you not by picking Ohio St. but by having one of the biggest egoes I've ever seen out of a high school kid.

TP

will be the QB at scUM next year. That is what I think right now.

pryor

I think his two remaining teams are Penn State and Ohio State and he'll pick OSU. He did want to commit to OSU but his dad wanted him to wait. I can't help but think that he has had his mind made up all along but is waiting because his dad wants him to.

I personally don't care if he comes to Penn State or not. I think we'll be fine at QB for the next two years. If we pick up Tate Forcier, we'll be good for a while.

We Are Penn State

Sour Grapes?

I think Penn State would be thrilled to have someone of Pryor's talent. In fact, I am not sure that the 'Nits have ever had someone as talented as TP; (certainly not at the QB position).

Now that the handwriting is on the wall, however, this post sounds like little more than sour grapes. So PSU is going to lose out on this talent - can't PSU fans be gracious and move on?

I disagree

I think the shenanigans of TP over the last couple weeks have turned off PSU fans in general. We have enough off the field issues right now, we don't need TP's excess baggage as well.

I will admit, I wish TP was coming here, not because we need him, but more as a statement that PSU can still recruit with teams like OSU and scUM.

I am fine with Devlin throwing for 3,000+ yards and 30 TDs next year.

The Shenanigans Continue

Not sure why it would turn off PSU fans - I would think that they are used to the ongoing shenanigans by now.

Oh wow

Oh my, accused of "balling his hands into fists". He's a menace and should be put behind bars for life.

Give me a break. Another instance of the Pittsburgh Trib taking a wild swing at PSU.

Luring recruits with my new "Posting HD" scheme since '08.

"used to the shenanigans"

Ahhh, Jerry. How clever. However, you're clearly a fan of another school (cough Pitt couch), so you obviously don't know anything about how Penn State alumni and fans truly feel. Frankly, just so you're aware, most of us are completely fed up with the crap we've witnessed over the past year. And, based on the growing list of players who've been suspended from the team, the coaches are fed up as well.

So, no... none of us has become used to the shenanigans. Quite the opposite, in fact.

Ahhh.......

Kerry Collins lit up the Big 10! Let's not make Pryor a Hall of Famer before he even takes a college snap. Does he have the tools....sure....but being a great QB takes a lot more than physical talent!

I thought only safeties played 15 yards off the ball?

Trib swinging or not

The idiot got arrested a second time in less then a year in a fight situation. I am sick of our players acting like fools. Grow up or go play for someone else.
