    Pryor was HORRIBLE in the bowl game. Worst mechanics imaginable. He mostly threw with his feet parallel, like he was tossing darts. Blech. I was so disappointed. My brother-in-law blew so much shit my way I though Terrelle was my godchild.

    Shep, you as much as anybody know how QB's can improve with some real coaching. This kid got thrown into the fire last year and was told not to screw nothing up. The links are on the college board that I put up of the spring game, tell me he wasn't whipping it around.

    I'm going to come across as OSU fanboy obviously, but the kid showed flashes last year too. The kid was straight off the BB court, got hardly any work in with the coaches since Boeckman was the guy and then was told to go out there and win games. He did lead the Big Ten in passing efficiency last year BTW, granted for not a lot of yards a game but that's what he was asked to do.

    IMO guys have put too much stock into some of his loft balls. It doesn't mean he can't throw it harder, it means he was making sure the ball got there. Troy Smith came in with a cannon and threw the ball harder than DA on anything less then 20 yards. It wasn't until he came to grips and quit trying to be a thrower and became a passer. I'm not intimating Pryor is on the level of Smith with arm, but the fact that he showed more composure out the gate says a lot in my book.

    I think he's going to open some eyes this year. Sorry to hijack the thread with Buckeye stuff Alo, just had to get it out there.

    Is a pig's ass pork?

  • No problem. I don't have a strong opinion either way on Pryor. Should be interesting to see if he can up his game.

    Kind of interested in some of the Buckeyes on D. Cameron Heyward and Thad Gibson are underclassmen, but both project well to a 3-4 (Heyward at DE, Gibson at OLB). I'll be watching them closely this year.

    Man, Chris Henry (#42) sucks. He sucked in college too...but he had great workouts before the draft & got picked in the 2nd round.

    Chris Henry should never have been given the starting job at Arizona, but they had no running game back then.

    The funny thing is that Cris Collinsworth said he loved what he saw of Henry at Arizona. The guy had maybe two, three good games in college?

    I'm frankly shocked. ALL they've been talking about on sports talk here is "Corp Corp Corp Corp."

    Guess that's why they're sports talk dudes.

  • Barkley is their golden-child though. Has been since he commited.

    I've heard that Corp may consider transferring if he can't get his job back.

    He had a great game against Oregon and was a combine freak. All of the coaches down here wanted him to move to LB, but he resisted the change and since they were low on RB's they allowed him to stay there.

    He could have been a pretty damn good LB too at the collegiate level, he was just a little delusional and thoguht he could be a great RB.

    Lane Kiffin recruited him to SC. I'm sure he'd be willing to commit another violation or two to get him in Knoxville.

    How soon would he have to transfer to be able to play in 2010?

    Before the season starts proper? I wish I knew...

    The NCAA rule is that a transfer from a four-year school to another four-year school is required to sit out a full academic year unless they qualify for an exception. Conferences and individual schools can have their own more restrictive transfer rules--like the WCHA has--and it gets more complicated if a NLI was signed.

    Essentially, Corp would have to sit out a full academic year. I believe that if he transfers now, he can play next year, but I am not 100% sure because the school year has started. However, if he waits until the end of the season, he won't be able to play until 2011.

  • Corp staying

    Carroll's decision to start freshman Matt Barkley at quarterback, and the prospect of Barkley's holding the position for the next three years, will not cause Aaron Corp to transfer.

    "I'm staying," Corp said. "No question. I'm staying."

    Corp, a third-year sophomore, was No. 1 on the depth chart before he suffered a broken left fibula. He said he remained comfortable at USC and would continue to compete for playing time.

    "Historically, guys who transferred, I think Troy Aikman is like the only guy that it's worked out for," Corp said.

    Aikman transferred from Oklahoma to UCLA and was the top pick in the 1989 NFL draft.

    Well, it seemed to work out okay for Joe Flacco. And I'm sure Jevan Snead's happy he isn't still sitting behind Colt McCoy.
