Who is the top college football recruit that scouts compare to Vince Young? Terrelle Pryor, a high school quarterback from Jeannette, Pa.

Pryor was at the Ohio State basketball game this past Sunday and received an inviting welcome from Buckeye fans. The student section chanted, “We want Pryor, ” at half-time.

Pryor has not made a decision yet as to where he will play college football. Ohio State does not have a quarterback in their recruiting class that was revealed earlier this month.

UPDATE, as of March 19, 2008 Pryor has announced to sign with Ohio State University. Terrelle and parents made the announcement whle on stage in the auditorium of Jeannette Senior High School near Pittsburgh, PA.

According to Joe Mandak, Associated Press writer, “Pryor is the only Pennsylvania player to both rush and pass for at least 4,000 yards.” Pretty impressive.

Sylvester Croom and Mississippi State Bulldogs will start spring football training on Monday. They are starting earlier than any of the other SEC football teams.

MSU ranked seventh in the nation in pass defense last season. In addition, they ranked 20th in pass efficiency defense according to Rivals.com

Word is that the coaches may plan to be more “creative” on offense this year with several returning talented starters.

Tyson Lee will walk-on from Ittawamba Community College. He is a young man that knows the quarter back position and is great at what he does.

Spring practice dates are scheduled for February 25-March 29.

MSU’s last season was 4-4 in SEC play and victorious in the Liberty Bowl over UCF, 10-3.

 

 

College Baseball Bats

February 21, 2008 | 1 Comment

Looking around the Internet you can find some really convenient places to buy baseball bats. One of the best I have seen is a store called That Baseball Store. They carry all kinds of bats including Adult Baseball Bat, Senior League and Little League Bats. They seem to have what ever a person needs.

 

All college basketball fans will be watching the two best teams in men’s basketball square off this weekend. The Memphis Tigers are #1 and The Tennessee Volunteers are #2.

Why is this big game so important? Well, the two teams are ranked the highest in men’s basketball. Both teams are in Tennessee–one in western Tennessee and the other in eastern Tennessee. Both are just so happened located in big cities in Tennessee. This is a must see game because it promises to be one of the best so far thus far.

If Memphis wins the game, then they will keep their number one seed and more importantly their perfect season will be intact. If Tennessee wins this game, then they will move up to the number one spot, while it is uncertain where Memphis will drop to. The only way they will plummet is if they lose drastically at home to a team that is ranked lower than them.

Memphis is known for having the worst free throw team in the country and that is when you take into account all the teams that play college basketball in this country. That is irony because the best teams tend to have good free throw shooting. Many predict that if the game is close then Memphis will lose because of their horrid free throw shooting. For most teams free throws are almost guaranteed points while with Memphis it’s missed opportunity after opportunity. They must score enough points away from the free throw line and also they must play solid defense.

One thing is sure and that the viewers at home will see plenty of Memphis Tigers merchandise and Tennessee Volunteers merchandise in the stands as both try to rally their team to victory this Saturday.

 

I saw the best looking New York Giant T-Shirts at Sportsfantreasures They always have the neatest looking stuff especially t-shirts. I also saw a great Eli Manning Print from his playing days back at Ole Miss. Wasn’t it great how they hung in their and ended up beating the New England Patriots. I was very proud of Eli and the whole team. Man their defense really came to play. They put a tremendous amount of pressure on Tom Brady and made it extremely hard for him to get it done. Congrats go out to the New York Giants.
