Wad, No doubt they have put all of their eggs, along with many other schools in Pryor's basket. No doubt about that and I never meant to insinuate anything else. Only that JT and the boys are a pretty thorough group and are still evaluating other players at all positions. That is recruiting, as you are well aware of. Go after your top guys at every positon with everything you've got. When the dust settles and you missed on some of them, then you see how good you are at recruiting. Championships aren't always won with the blue chip prospects, but by the "diamonds in the rough" or "sleepers" that you discover along the way trying to fill up the roster with your 2nd and 3rd choices at certain positions. Chances are they get TP, but there are a lot of rumblings lately. Just read yesterday he had his list down to 7 or 8. Three weeks ago it was 3. Interesting.

I do find it interesting that JT has put all the eggs in one basket on a guy like Pryor. If you look back all the way to his YSU days, he has never had a "superstar" QB. I know you all just threw up in your mouths a bit, yes he had Troy. But Troy, though better, was very much like his other QBs. He managed the game, made plays when he had to, and limited mistakes. Maybe he could have done much more, but a JT QB is an extension of JT. Conservative, vanilla, detailed, and well, boring. TP seems to be the opposite of that image. He's a bit flashy, a little more Hollywood than your typical JT guy. Time will tell. It will definately be an interesting match. That point being made, like Quinn, Stoudt may not a good fit at OSU. He'll be looking for more of a pass oriented offense I would think, and that doesn't seem to be JT's MO.
