If Smith's decision plays a negative affect on Brown's recruitment, then I wonder where he could go to avoid competition. With the school's he is looking at and that have offered him to come play, he is going to have to beat somebody out of a spot to see the field. It's not like OSU has all the depth in the world and every other powerhouse needs 5 linemen to have a squad. I would hope that CS coming to OSU would warrant major points with Brown, and he could then follow suit, and come to campus as part of a great recruiting haul with something to prove. If CS went elsewhere, maybe he saw something AB did not, and then it would be bad for OSU with both of them. However, the vibe I get from this board is that CS is a future Buckeye, so if that means Brown is gone, then I'll just be happy as hell that we got Smith. Come on, AB, you were born to pancake scUM in the 'Shoe!!!
