			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>Barrett Jones was interviewed on a radio station in Huntsville, AL about the recruiting porcess and such. They asked Barrett how he was rated the #1 center in the country on Rivals&nbsp;when he had never played a down at center. He replied something along the lines of Rivals was attempting to&nbsp;make Alabama the #1 recruiting class in the country, and that by putting him overall #1 would help with the point system rivals uses.</p>
	<p>Now, I am not too sure about this. Although I live in Huntsville I did not hear it for myself; however, a friend of mine says he did. Scout.com has Barrett listed at #18 as an OL, but Alabama is rated #2 on both Scout and Rivals; so take it for what it&#8217;s worth.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) &#8212; Terrelle Pryor, regarded as the top football recruit in the country, received a warm welcome Saturday night at the Michigan-Iowa basketball game during his official visit.</p>
	<p>&quot;We want Pryor!&quot; the student section chanted when he emerged from a tunnel and walked to his seat. &quot;We want Pryor!&quot;</p>
<!--startclickprintexclude--><!--endclickprintexclude-->
<p>Pryor arrived in Ann Arbor on Saturday after helping Jeannette (Pa.) High School win</p>
	<p>basketball game, and seemed to enjoy his first day on campus.</p>
	<p>&quot;It&#8217;s cool,&quot; Pryor responded to<em> The Associated Press</em> via text message during the first half of the basketball game.</p>
	<p><strong>A reporter repli</strong><strong>ed, asking what schools he was considering other than Michigan and Ohio State.</strong></p>
	<p><strong>&quot;</strong><img width="261" height="400" border="0" align="left" title="" alt="" src="http://thesportspage.blogsome.com/images/cum.jpg" /><strong>LSU and Oregon,&quot; Pryor typed in a text message to the AP.</strong></p>
	<p>Pryor&#8217;s host during the visit was his cousin, wide receiver Toney Clemons.</p>
	<p>The presence of the highly touted quarterback created a buzz at Crisler Arena, where several photographers turned their backs to the game and took pictures of him.</p>
	<p>&quot;Come to Michigan!&quot; fans chanted. &quot;Come to Michigan!&quot;</p>
	<p>Pryor sat in a second-row seat behind Wolverines football coach Rich Rodriguez and Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Charlie Batch, whose brother is dating Pryor&#8217;s aunt. Batch, who played at nearby Eastern Michigan and for the Detroit Lions, has been asked by Pryor to assist him during the recruiting season.</p>
	<p>The Wolverines desperately want Pryor to choose to play for them on signing day in 21/2 weeks because he&#8217;s perfectly suited for Rodriguez&#8217;s spread offense, which featured quarterback Pat White last season at West Virginia.</p>
	<p>Michigan is without an experienced quarterback because Chad Henne graduated and Ryan Mallett transferred to Arkansas.</p>
	<p>The 6-foot-6, 230-pound Pryor has become a YouTube sensation, dazzling visitors to the Web site with his running and throwing skills.</p>
	<p>He has been billed as the next Vince Young, and looked a lot like the former Texas star and current Tennessee Titans quarterback two weeks ago at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl high school all-star game.</p>
	<p>Pryor split playing time with two other quarterbacks in that game. He ended with 155 all-purpose yards, 79 rushing and 76 passing. He scored on a run and threw a 25-yard TD. He could&#8217;ve gained more yardage, but was taken out of the game so he could be announced as Most Valuable Player to a national television audience.</p>
	<p>Last season, he had 3,778 yards in total offense &#8212; split almost equally between running (1,899 yards) and passing (1,889 yards) &#8212; and accounted for 58 TDs.</p>
	<p>&quot;He&#8217;s a once-in-a-lifetime kid,&quot; said Beaver Falls (Pa.) coach Ryan Matsook, whose team was defeated by Pryor and Jeannette 61-12 in the District 7 championship game. &quot;We&#8217;ll be happy not to face him next year.&quot;</p>
	<p>Pryor became a Wolverines recruit on the day Rodriguez told him last month he was leaving West Virginia.</p>
	<p>Former West Virginia coach Don Nehlen, who coached Rodriguez when he played for the Mountaineers, said last month that Pryor reminded him of Young.</p>
	<p>&quot;If that kid comes, he&#8217;s probably more important that Rich,&quot; Nehlen joked.</p>
	<p>&nbsp;</p>
	<p>This is coming after Florida coach Urban Meyer flagged Pryor&#8217;s friend and LSU commit Patrick Johnson&#8217;s test score. Hmmm&#8230; you might of screwed the pooch there Coach Meyer.</p>
