Yeah, but can he hit the curveball?

He just led his high school team to its second straight Pennsylvania state championship with a stat line of 39 points, 24 boards, 6 assists and 10 blocks and in the aftermath he tells everybody that he probably won’t play basketball in college so that he can concentrate on his strong suit, football. That stat line looked familiar… so we did a little research. Yep, that’s what we throw down for an entire month in our weekly rec league downtown.

Anyway, Ladies and Gentleman, Terrelle Pryor.

Pryor, who is ranked as Rivals.com's #1 football prep recruit in the nation has yet to commit, but is leanly strongly towards either Michigan or Ohio State. Early on, the CW was that he would stay instate and play for JoePa at Penn St. The tide turned, though, the moment Rich Rodriguez took the Michigan job as his spread-option offense is thought to be the perfect fit for the uber-athleticism of Pryor and which proved to be the first tangible evidence that the hire was the good one we thought it was.

Possibly because he is holding out past the signing day earlier this month, we can't ever remember the intensity of interest displayed in where a prep recruit will choose to matriculate. Stay tuned.
