Terrelle Pryor six weeks later....

For six weeks he left the college football world on the edge of their seats waiting to hear his decision between his narrowed selections of Penn State, Ohio State, Michigan and Oregon. The entire decision process was very odd in that he was seemingly just dragging out the decision to be in the spotlight alone. It begs the question though: Was Pryor dragging this decision out or was it his "advisors"?

I am leaning towards it being the people around him who actually dragged out his decision. I really hope he is able to manage the "new friends / hangers on" he's been accumlating and is able to make sound career decisions for the future.

This kid is 17 years old, has seemingly unlimited potential and has drawn comparisons to Vince Young already. However does anyone remember the name Xavier Lee? Xavier was once "the next big thing" QB recruit that landed in Florida State in 2005 to single handedly resurrect the struggling Seminole program. After all the hype, Lee played in four games last year as a junior and is a long shot to make the NFL. So lets sit back and wait before we hand over the Heisman to Terrelle Pryor.
