Do t know about the rest but Pryor never visited. Lots of talk about it but it never happened.
That was because the dude wanted to play basketball, Oregon had the flight booked, his hosts ready and everything but it came down to a basketball game.
Pryor's dad, who has since passed away, was in a wheelchair which makes traveling far difficult. Columbus, Ohio is just less stress to get to from the suburbs of Pittsburgh.

Pryor was NEVER coming to Oregon, he was all about OSU and the boosters $$$. He was passing his decision off of what college he could make the most money at. Had zero to do with his dad being in a wheelchair. That’s a fact people. Actions speak, talks cheap and all he did was talk about Oregon. Quit trying to change/twist the narrative with what was heard by a recruits 100th cousin and just look at the hard core fact, he didn’t visit period. You text your other half, child, fam and they reply a day later with, sorry I didn’t have time. Now that could be true but really how long does it take to say busy ttyl? It’s all about how much you care and/or want something.

OMG, yes, Terrelle Pryor said to the Coaches that he wanted to visit on a specific date and they had the tickets paid for. He didn't show up because of his basketball game. Now if you want to say that he was just playing the coaches the entire time that is fine, but he told them, on the phone that he wanted to visit on a specific date and they planned it out all the way to his final departure. Ed Dickson was going to be his host in part because he was also recruited by a few schools about the chance to play BB for them too. No, he never showed, and yes everyone knew he was all OSU from the start, but what he told Oregon was he seriously wanted to visit and was going to (but obviously didn't).

As Kayvon compares to Boyd, Brown or Pryor it doesn't make a good pairing because Kayvon is a West Coast guy who has been here multiple times. The only real question I think we have now about him is whether his social media posturing is just that, or if its genuine and he really wants to be a Duck.

This article mentions nothing like that.

He grew up playing Pop Warner football in SoCal, started his high school career at Dorsey, transferred to Oaks Christian.

Tigerdroppings was saying Thibodeaux has a ton of family in The Boot.

All I know is I was corrected that he wasn't a West coast guy and is in fact a southerner

Everybody is claiming he has ties to their area. Article on the LSU site Of course, with a name like Thibodeaux, it’s no surprise that the nation’s top-ranked prospect has ties to Louisiana. He has family living in Lake Charles, and his father has spent time living in Baton Rouge.

And Alabama It may be because Thibodeaux’s great-grandfather was an Alabama native and huge Crimson Tide fan, and coach Nick Saban was clever enough to take advantage of that.

We do know he spent the last several years living in Southern California with his mom. From Bleacher Report He transferred to Oaks Christian from Dorsey High his sophomore year for better academic opportunities. But the posh, predominantly white school was unlike anything he had experienced.

More He grew up in South Central L.A., watching people float in and out of jail.

Most of Oregon’s recruits have no ties to the state of Oregon and especially Eugene! I personally think the ties to a state is being a little overblown

But southerners stay in the south

He does have USC and UO on the list, but the other schools are all southern

Hopefully he wants to stay on the west coast

For what it’s worth I heard Prehm say today he believes if he commits in the next 6 weeks it will be Oregon. He also believes Herbert will come back next year.

I'd take both of those with a grain of salt. He's trying to sell memberships foremost....and then report Duck news.

I have it on very good authority, that when he was on this site and did chat rooms every so often, that he would give solid info, but also just make things up to get people excited.
