Smith: Pryor could be best ever at OSU

Anyone wondering just how good Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor is should just ask Troy Smith.
Smith was in Beachwood on Sunday for an autograph signing at Cardboard Heroes when he gave his opinion of OSU's talented junior quarterback.
He hardly minced words.
"I've said time and time again," Smith said, "he could be the best ever to come through Ohio State and play that position."
Which is saying something since Smith won the 2006 Heisman Trophy and Pryor has no such hardware to his name.
Pryor has been named on more than a few Heisman watch lists this summer.
A big reason is his monster game in the Rose Bowl in January when he passed for 266 yards and ran for 72 yards in a 26-17 win over Oregon.
"I think it was tremendous," Smith said of Pryor's performance against the Ducks. "Any time you get a chance to get momentum going into the next season (with) a big Rose Bowl, it speaks volumes for his character and the team.
"It should help him a lot."
Continued.....For a few months in the winter, Terrelle Pryor was not the big man on campus, even after leading Ohio State to a win in the Rose Bowl. That?s because Evan Turner was captivating the college basketball world with his all-around excellence and his amazing comeback from a scary back injury, so much so that he raked in all conceivable recognition as the National Player of the Year.
In the process, he also won over Pryor.
?Evan Turner is a beast, man,? the OSU quarterback said in February. ?I can?t even go watch him because I miss basketball so much. That?s my favorite sport. But I have a love for football, too.?
Which is a good thing for Ohio State fans.
While the 6'6" Pryor can?t quite measure up to the 6'7" Turner and isn?t about to take his place on the hardwood ? as much as Thad Matta might want him to ? he certainly is in position to have a dream season of his own for the Buckeyes.
That's the guy that's going to be sacked 5 times against Miami?[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZlCZoqe6z8]YouTube - Terrelle Pryor Sophomore Season Highlight Video[/ame]
SloopyHangOn;1726431; said:I'm not entirely familiar with eligibility rules...but would it be possible (albeit highly unlikely) that Terrelle could choose to play QB at Ohio State 4 years, then play a year of B-Ball elsewhere?
Sort of a reverse Greg Paulus.
BB73;1726555; said:Starting as a scholarship player in the '08 season, he has 5 years to play 4 in any collegiate sport. After 4 years of football at tOSU, he could play basketball at another school if he graduated and then enrolled in a school that had a graduate program that isn't available at tOSU. That's what Paulus did when he went to Syracuse, and it required NCAA approval.
Technically, he could also transfer to another school in January 2012 (right after his last football game), sit out a full year until January 2013, and play the remainder of that season on a basketball scholarship at any non-Big Ten school (since the conference prohibits transferring to another member school on scholarship).
I can't believe either scenario would occur, however.
