Despite saying he would make a decision today, Terrelle Pryor, the nation’s top high school football recruit, has decided not to make a commitment to any collegiate on National Signing Day.
National Signing Day is the first day high school players can formally sign paperwork and declare their intent to enroll at a specific college, but players actually have until April 1 to make a final decision. And after not being able to come to a final decision between his top four schools, Pryor has opted to continue considering his options.
Pryor’s decision should not come as a major shock to anyone who has been following his recruitment. In the days leading up to signing day, conflicting reports surfaced regarding his final intention. Some, like the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, wrote that he was “80 to 90 percent” sure he would.
So Buckeye, Wolverine and Nittany Lion fans will have to wait. I applaud the kid for taking his time. This is a major decision and if he needs more time, than more time is what he should take.
