One of the most eagerly-anticipated high-school football recruiting battles in years will likely end on Wednesday at noon in the Jeannette (Pa.) High gymnasium. That's where Terrelle Pryor, an all-purpose, all-state quarterback is "80-90 percent sure" he will announce his college decision at a nationally televised news conference. Pryor had considered delaying his decision until after Signing Day, but has apparently changed his mind.

Sources believe that Pryor is leaning toward Ohio State, which had been the early favorite of the western Pennsylvania star with 4.4 speed. But there has also been much speculation that Pryor, whose 8,499 career yards were almost equally divided between passing and running, would choose Michigan and the spread-offense philosophy of new coach Rich Rodriguez.

Oregon was also attractive to Pryor, but he never made an official visit there, partly because he was so busy with basketball. (He's an all-state forward, a 6-foot-6 forward with supreme athleticism.) Pryor told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Monday that he was going to call Oregon and tell coaches that the Ducks were out of the picture.

Penn State was also a serious suitor, but in the end the decision came down to Ohio State or Michigan. The battle for Pryor has been the story this recruiting season and the way he keeps changing his mind, it may not be over. But right now, the best guess is that the Buckeyes have won.

I wonder where SI got this? People need to lay off. Predictions? Don't mind them. But when you are finalist(even a long shot, you don't want to hear people saying he is going somewhere have your hopes down, and he announces, then you find he is not going there and he is going to you school,

Sure is better than going to Michigan with RR.

I personally think most likely he goes to Michigan though if he wants to be a 4 year starter unless he's going to throw Beckman from a starting job or he will take a Redshirt.

LSU is also in the mix.

Pryor is a "one in a million" player, according to almost everyone. Tressel has a track record of seasoning his QB's by redshirting them, but the man is no dummy. Pryor will most likely only stay in college for two years if he's as good as advertised, and it would be foolish to think that Tress is going to waste one of those years with him riding the pine.

If Terrelle becomes a Buck, Boeckman will stay penciled in as the starter, but Pryor will take the job from him by opening day. And there is no way Pryor goes to OSU unless Tress told him right up front he would come in from day one competing for the Starters job.

He has to stay for at least three years.

LSU's out. Reports now state that only Michigan, Ohio State, and Penn State are his top 3 choices but he has pretty much knocked it down to 2. Someone will need to back me on that. One of my teachers also a Die-hard Penn State fan like me found a report somewhere, but I'm not sure where.

Alright, 3...but the principle remains. The kid ain't going to OSU to get splinters in his ass. If he's better than Henton and Boeckman, he'll play. And if he does go to OSU, and he really is as good as advertised, the chances are very good that the Bucks will be right back in the big game again next year. The defense will be awesome, and the one true upgrade they needed was at QB.

Pryor announced today that penn state, ohio state, and michigan are all still equal in the race. i am an osu fan so i am happy if this is true, but i will wait until tomorrow because he also announced that he will make his final decision on wednesday.
