"Jeannette, Pa., quarterback Terrelle Pryor will sign with Ohio State, Foley, Ala., receiver Julio Jones will choose Alabama and Ventura, Calif., running back Darrell Scott will pick Texas. This isn't my opinion, nor do I have any inside information.
It's economics."



Its pretty interesting, but I don't know how seriously to take it.

Since JJ is rumored to be tooling around in a Red Escalade, there may be something to that economic angle...I've read that UA recruit Mark Barron has a Bama fan paying his tuition at Mobile-St. Paul as well. You'd think this wouldn't be something that any Tider would want to read given the not too distance past experiences with the NCAAZI's.

Pryor? Last I read he was tight with the nutz and doing some calling for them to boot....never have understood why a blue-chip kid would so willingly sacrifice any hope of getting to hold the Crystal Ball but hey, they got a special football player's course list there at teh ohowihate college.

Good luck to him then. He and his parents are getting some BS advice on his future. He would have been much better off going to play for RichRod.

The rumor involves a car with Oklahoma plates, for that matter.

Yeah thats the only rumor being said, nothing about a Red Escalade. If there was a school to give away a vehicle...don't you think it would be Oklahoma and it's dealership. :lol:
