Does UB have a chance at Kelly?

---Syracuse, Alabama, Clemson, Florida State, Michigan State and Purdue are all recruiting St, Joe's quarterback Chad Kelly, so it would be shocking if he selects hometown UB, right?

While it would be a major upset if the Bulls land Kelly, a source said UB has a chance and is one of the seven schools he's considering. Kelly will announce his college pick at a press conference Thursday at 3 p.m.

“UB offers a unique scenario for Chad because it’s close to home and he’s really close with his family,’’ a source said. “”They run a wide open offense so UB poses some aspects to really think about.’’

Report: Pryor signings netted thousands

---Looks like there's more trouble for Ohio State as former Buckeyes quarterback Terrelle Pryor made thousands of dollars autographing memorabilia in 2009-10, a former friend who says he witnessed the transactions has told ESPN's "Outside the Lines." The signings for cash, which would be a major violation of NCAA rules, occurred a minimum of 35-40 times, netting Pryor anywhere from $20,000-$40,000, the former friend says.

Pryor done at Ohio State
