Cell Block News and Notes: Shredder Gate and Weekend Plans



  • The countries top recruit and QB of the future, Terrelle Pryor will be making his visit to A2 this weekend (it was originally scheduled for 2/1). He moved the visit up due to his basketball games the next two weekends. This weekend will be key in Michigan's ability to wow the young man. Pryor has already visited C-Bus and has recently added the LSU Tigers in his top 5. He may make another visit before February 6th, but when and where is yet to be determined. Looks like the list of schools he is considering are: Michigan, OSU, Florida, Oregon, and now LSU. It looks like PSU will no longer be consider since he cancelled his trip to Happy Valley for this weekend. If he has basketball games the next two weekends, I would expect this to be it for visits. We will see if he sneaks in one more maybe to Florida or LSU.
  • Staying Home! After the NFL defections of Mario and Adrian and the transfer of Ryan Mallett. It was nice to see that Terrance Taylor decided to stay for his senior season. TT is ranked the 3rd Defensive Lineman in the Junior class. A solid Senior year, he could be looking at a nice 1st round draft slot.
  • Shredder Gate: WVU is investigating the loss of some athletic files from Rich's old office in Morgantown. A couple of thoughts on this: 1st: This is so stupid and WVU needs to stop crying and move on with their new coach Bobby Williams from Michigan State. I'm sorry that's not right, it's Bill Stewart. 2nd: Do they use computers in West Virgina or is everything just kept in the file cabinets? 3rd: This seems a clear attempt to continue to put pressure on Coach Rod for leaving and to try to get the $4 Million buyout. Is it me or is the Athletic Department at WVU run by folks with the IQ of a monkey?
  • A Memo to WVU fan: Move on with your lives: stop threatening Coach Rod's children, stop vandalizing his home, stop sending death threats, and start supporting your new coach. This has to stop, it's done, check yourself and move on.
  • Christian Wilson LB/FB recruit is solid on Michigan: "I'm solid," Wilson said. "I talked to the Michigan coaches (Monday) and cleared a couple things up. I'm going to Boston College because I told them I would and I want to keep my word."
