'07 OH QB Chris Smith (Marshall signee)

[OSUBucks22]

if smith is a signing day offer for the '07 class, then osu is probably the odds on favorite. what could end up being troublesome and possible is if osu waits until camp to extend qb offers and some other teams press him hard. it does seem that smith has been a target for a while now versus belton, babb and some others.

I agree tsteele. If we offer him right away, I too think we are in the driver's seat. In fact, I've had someone tell me that if we offered early, he may commit right away.

More of the same, as Chris does say WVU's early offer does deserve extra consideration, but the gameday atmosphere was amazing and the offensive scheme of tOSU is perfect for him.

At this point, I like our chances with Smith.

Ditto. I think he's a Buck once the offer is put forth.

Chris and his family were at The Game on a scUM visit yesterday. They were on the tOSU side of the field during the pre-game and then celebrated with the Bucks on the field and in the locker room afterwards .

If he gets an offer, I am hearing he will accept.

Well Im confident that we will land Smith, but just for laughs....


Is Tennessee even bowl eligible this year???

A big NO to this question... Tennessee was only a rumored favorite and never really had an edge for Chris.

The QB talent that we have now and will have in the future is amazing!

I think we have a good chance to land him next year. The question will be how bad will they want a qb next year.

Right now we have 3 back to back to back. I don't think they will need one, so they could seperate by two years, but if we can get a top notch guy like Smith you take him, or maybe someone that would grey-shirt.

but if we can get a top notch guy like Smith you take him

That's the key right there. There are lots of schools who take top QB's every year, we can be one of them too.

I like having qb's in the stable, but I just hate to see situations like we had at the beginning of this year, when you have a controversy.

I know that the qb's we are bringing in now are 1 year apart, but if a sophmore is better than the junior then you could have problems, much like Tenn this year when they couldnt decide on a qb.

We lose Troy and Zwick after next year, you need more than 3 scholarship Qb for insurance purposes... plus none will have much game experience, so competition will be open.

tOSU will be looking for at least 1 QB prospect, maybe 2 for next years class.
