There’s been a rash of reported visits by Terrelle Pryor, the nation’s top-rated and still unsigned prep football prospect, to the University of Memphis.
As of Wednesday, Pryor, a 6-6, 225-pound dual-threat quarterback, had not scheduled a trip to Memphis. He was not here for Feb. 23 game between the then-No. 1 Tigers and then-No. 2 Tennessee and he did not attend last weekend’s game at FedExForum against UAB as was widely reported. Whether or not he’ll actually made a visit remains in question.
Pryor, who is leading his team deep into the Pennsylvania Class AA basketball playoffs, has spent the past few days dealing with the aftermath of a postgame brawl between his Jeannette (Pa.) High team and Pittsburgh (Pa.) North Catholic. Pryor and his teammates avoided suspensions earlier this week when the Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic League imposed a two-year probation on the participating teams and instructed the players and coaches from both teams to take anger management classes.
Pryor, the nation’s top football recruit according to Rivals.com and Scout.com, resumes his basketball career tonight in a Class AA semifinal game against Erie (Pa.) North East. Ohio State, Penn State, Michigan and Oregon remain his top football choices and he said he’ll make a decision after basketball season ends.

I’ll pose a question regarding this Pryor situation. If you or I were offered a job, how long do you think an employer would wait for an answer?
Now I realize the boy isn’t making a decision about a job, but this is getting ridiculous. Next year, some other prima donna high school player is going to pull this same stunt.
Pryor’s actions aren’t endearing himself to his future teammates either. I’d like to see him end up at Oregon so the USC defense can pound his ass when he’s running that spread option.
