TP is coming to Columbus. My sources (in PA) have verified his inclination to go Buckeye. Further, he is a good guy and the guidance that Tressel brings to the table will only help to expand his abilities. It would be insane... to not want this kid at OSU. Relax. TP is coming to Columbus.

Focus on basketball…it is basketball season afterall. I guess you guys could call it “lamenting over our end-of-season loss” season…or “lamenting over losing Pryor to Michigan” season…we’ll stick with basketball; speaking of I think my alma mater just beat your favorite football team’s basketball affiliate…and the crazy thing is that it was with a bunch of Freshman." I think it's terrific that you all won the first head-to-head matchup this year between our teams. I guess I was too busy counting the last few Big T(elev)en basketball conference titles OSU has won to notice. Or reminiscing about the three first-round NBA picks we lost last year. Or noticing that the larger portion of our team this year is comprised of freshman players. I guess I'm just surprised to see you here, posting on an OSU blog. I would imagine that with the hopping, busy schedule your athletic department has, and the illustrious noise your basketball team is making on the court this year, you'd be busy enough on the Purdid blogs to post here. Interesting.... *sigh* As an aside, I wonder what the m*ch*g*n coaches will tell Daniels during his official visit this weekend? "Sorry, kid, but RR isn't here to answer your questions, take you on a tour, promise to be your coach during your four years here, etc. He's off in Pennsylvania, watching the kid we really want play a friggin' basketball game, and that was more important than being here to talk to you in person." Call me crazy, but I'd give m*ch*g*n the cold shoulder, if that was proffered to me. “You know what we like to do this time of year? Focus on basketball…it is basketball season afterall.

I think some ran with this, but if you read the post, I merely made an observation about Buckeye and Wolverine fans wondering if he was more trouble than what he's worth and then asked for reader feedback on their opinions. He's a hell of a talent and any school would love to have him. Agreed RUTS.

I dounna know if it is possible for him to get any more attention than he has already gotten. Hopefully he will just make his choice and begin to focus on his future.

Daniels has been getting a lot of attention for awhile now from Michigan. "All our eggs in one basket" I think not. As for Pryor, you really think he is not enjoying the press? Have you even heard how he talks about himself? If RR and Pryor's cousin can talk him into joining them at UM then great. "Asshole look on his face"...who is that other coach playing this weekend with an asshole look on his face? Yeah, as long as you win nobody gives a shit. And I guess he didn't attempt to draw attention to himself by wearing a UM sweatshirt to the Army game and then having a Buckeye sticker on his helmet.

If you think other big time recruits aren’t offered the same types of things then you’ve been hanging out with Alonzo Spellman.

I’m just stating that these types of activities are more or less NOT good decisions. 2) If you think RichRod is only going after TP then you (again) are not as knowledgeable as you claim to be. Please read this article on 4 star QB and #8 overall Dual-Threat QB B.J. Daniels: http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080131/SPORTS06/801310417/1048/SPORTS His rankings are hurt because he is only 6’1” which we all know (a la Troy Smith at 5’10”) doesn’t matter as much as people think. In my opinion as soon as this kid sees the facilities at Michigan he will have his mind made up. Craig, 2 things:

As far as the scout story, TP was the first person, outside of his family, that DickRod told about his plans to go to UM.
