if you like it, then i know he's a good sign!!

We need playmakers buddy so hopefully he can become one. Who would have thought we would EVER lack playmakers?

People compare him to Holmes. Lets hope they're right about that

Urban Meyer has been looking across the country for play-makers at wide receiver and today he has added another candidate as Corey Smith has committed to Ohio State.

Smith committed to Mississippi State at the end of his official visit there the weekend of Dec. 7. But he decided to make an official visit to Ohio State earlier this month and has “flipped” to the Buckeyes.

The Buckeyes visited Smith at East Mississippi Junior College.

"They were down there to see him today," Smith's mother Ericka said. "I think it was the wide receivers coach (Zach Smith)."

The 6-foot-0 and 170-pound Smith is originally from Akron Buchtel. After graduating from Buchtel, Smith played one season at Grand Rapids Community College in Michigan.

Smith then headed for East Mississippi Junior College and he and his team were outstanding this season. Smith had 40 plus catches and 10 touchdowns. Smith will have three years to play two seasons at Ohio State.

Corey Smith becomes commitment No. 23 for Meyer’s 2013 recruiting class.

Smith, who has been recruited by Ohio State wide receivers coach Zach Smith, was a part of a big recruiting weekend Jan. 11 that saw Meyer welcome in nine seniors on official visits and a number of top 2014 prospects for a junior day today.

Corey Smith is a 4-star prospect in the 247Sports rankings. He is the country’s No. 9 JUCO prospect, the No. 3 wide receiver and the No. 2 prospect in Mississippi.

Not terribly excited about this one. If he wasn't, at best, the third option I might be a little more excited. Meyer wanted Quick and Gibson and even the twins going to Oregon before he wanted Smith. Here's for hoping he surprises a lot of people.

I think Smith over Gibson for a lot of people. Gibson was offered early and thought a lock but don't know what happen there.

From everything I've read on Smith, he can come in day 1 and start right away.

Quick was the #1 option no doubt, he is a 5* top 2 WR prospect in the class.

“Corey has so much talent, it's scary,” said Ricky Powers, his coach at Buchtel and a former running back at Michigan. “On top of that, he's a hard worker. And to get to the point that he is right now, it's amazing that he's come back. I think he can come in right away and be a big-play guy. He has that potential. I'm not just saying that because he was one of my guys.

“I love the Big Ten, and I played in the Big Ten, and Corey is fast. You've never seen someone run routes like this. He's deceptively fast, and he can catch. If Ohio State got him, God bless them, they'll win a lot of games with him.”

Smith is ranked as a four-star recruit by Rivals.com, which ranked him as the overall No. 18 junior college prospect in the country. Ohio State now has 23 oral commitments in its 2013 class, with National Signing Day eight days away. With current scholarship numbers, the Buckeyes should be able to add one more recruit to the class. But getting a receiver like Smith fills a need.

Bell better sign up damn it. I hear we might lose him to the Vols.....which would be the biggest mistake of his collegiate career.

sounds like Vols do lead for him. I don't think he makes a mistake wherever he goes. He is talented enough to start anywhere and get to the NFL.


As for ended up with. Sounds like there is two ships left. 1 for another playmaker and the other for an OL.
