1/4/14 Erick Smith & Marshon Lattimore

[victor2111]

will make their decision live at the US Army All American Bowl game this upcoming Saturday.

Erick Smith is a 4* S and Lattimore is a 4* ATH(WR/CB). They're both from CLEVELAND GLENVILLE. Both have great offer list(Bama offered both of them and Jones from Glenville). Jones is already committed to Ohio State and will enroll in January.

Could be a great day for Ohio State DB field, getting two top talented guys. Reports are looking VERY GOOD for on school.

Have to love the Cleveland Glenville pipeline!!!

Scout has Smith 4* #6 safety prospect, Lattimore as 4* #8 CB prospect.


If everyone is right, this would make Ohio state with a great DB class. Adding these two with STUD CB 4/5* Damon Webb(OSU first commit of the class) from Michigan.... Really Elite.

The 2014 class would have
- 3 Highly Rated DB
- 4 Highly Rated LB
- One of the better Kicker prospects
- 4 Highly Rated WR
- QB prospect they loved who is enrolling early in Collier.
- 4 Very good OL prospects
- Very good RB change of pace RB in Campbell who has elite speed.
- 2 Solid DE prospects



Very strong class at DB, WR, OL, and LB. Where Ohio State really need to add talent at. Not the strongest DL class(still could get 1 more commit) but have to remember the past 3years, Ohio State class has been strong there. Still would be great to add 1 more OL. Would have been great to add a TE, that is a must in next year class.

The HIGH SCHOOL games this week and Buckeyes playing in them

Thursday(ESPN UA All American game): 2 Buckeye committed players playing in it
LB Raekwon McMillan
OL Jamarco Jones

*The only player who people think Ohio State has a shot with is 5* CB Tony Brown but would not consider them the favorite even though they gain a lot of ground.

Saturday(NBC Army All American game):7 committed Buckeyes going into the game(maybe 9 before the game is even over)
LB Dante Booker
WR Johnnie Dixon
DL Jalyn Holmes
OL Marcelys Jones
OL Demetrius Knox
WR Curtis Samuel
CB Damon Webb

*As noted above, Lattimore and Smith are playing in this game and committing during the game. So you could add these two to the list above. Also watch DE Solomon Thomas. Has the Buckeyes in his top 5.

I expect Lattimore and Smith to commit to Ohio State, so that means there will be AT LEAST 9 BUCKEYES playing on Saturday. Wow. Add 2 on Thursday and that is 11 committed Buckeyes playing in High School All American games.

Is Marshon related to Marcus?

BillBankGreene:
Ohio State commit Marshon Lattimore working out at DB today. #ArmyBowl


From Bill Greene who is a big time news guy on recruiting. Looks like he let the cat out of the bag. After that he made another post saying "Opps, not an OSU commit". But Lattimore and Smith both said they made their decision a week ago, so Bill Greene probably knows where they're going at and made the mistake.

[victor2111]

Ohio State, Ohio state, Ohio State, Ohio State. Hearing that a lot in this game already.

Smith makes his decision in the 2nd Q. Lattimore the 4th Q.

[victor2111]

For some reason the announcers keep saying Ohio State has 8 players in this game already and said Solomon Thomas is going to Ohio State.

Thomas is a high 4*/5* DE but has not committed to Ohio State. Although Ohio State is a big time player for him. Announcer/ABC know something? I hope so......

[angrybaldman]

We can certainly use them in our secondary.

[victor2111]

Erick Smith has been impressive so far. Coming up making tackles and playing in coverage.

[victor2111]

Now the announcers fixes his mistake and said Thomas is not committed to Ohio State anymore and open it back up.

Well now he made another mistake: Thomas was never committed to Ohio State at all, but they've been in his top 5 all the way.

[victor2111]

Erick Smith making his decision in 1min.

[victor2111]

Smith commits to Ohio State! Said he and Lattimore wanted to play at the same school and now they will at Ohio State.

So I guess we know who Lattimore is committing to.

Finally some good news for the Buckeye football squad.

[victor2111]

And the trio is finished. Lattimore commits to tOSU. Said he could play some offense at tOSU also. Chris Gamble flashbacks.
