Connor Smith

The Ohio High Top 100 countdown is at No. 4, where we find blue-chip offensive lineman Connor Smith of Cincinnati Colerain. Smith has emerged as one of the top prospects in the nation and has the scholarship offers to back it up. We also have an update on Smith from Dave Biddle, who had the chance to talk with both Connor and his father Joe Smith, who played under Woody Hayes and coachces at Colerain. Read on for more.

Conner is considered the #4 prospect in the 2006 class. He is described as mean, nasty and big.

It did not register before now but Mr Smith was my vet for a couple of years. We talked OSU for 20 min and my poor dog Marley was secondary. Pooch got like 30 seconds, yea your too fat, cut back on his food. Now when I played for Earl......

This guy BLEEDS S&G, there is no way his son would go to scum, no way. This is a done deal.

Lotta chatter from NB, Duane and others on BNP that this is done and will be announced at camp. If so, great news.

I'm not saying those guys and H&G don't know what they're talking about, but when you read threads about Connor Smith on the BN site pay attention to what Phxbuck says about Smith. It's pretty much the only thing he comments on. I can't say who he is because it's not my place, but it's hard for me to believe anyone commenting on this situation is any closer to the Smith family than him. He has not indicated that this is a done deal and continues to make it obvious that Joe and the rest of the family will support Connor no matter where he goes.

Go Bucks!!! In Tress We Trust.

Hmm... those two usernames look strangely similar...
but back on topic, few are saying he is an OSU lock. At one point a Recruit can have one team out in front without contention from any other school, and then turn around later and change his mind.

BuckeyeFROMscUM,

I assure you phxbuck and myself are not the same person. I know who he is and we both live in the Phoenix area, that's it. But like I said before, phxbuck could not be more close to the recruitment of Connor Smith unless he was Connor Smith, which he is not. There are probably some posters on this board who know who he is and who I am.

Go Bucks!!! In Tress We Trust.

This kid look a little like John Daly or what?

Per sources:

Connor has received an offer from Oklahoma and they will replace Tennessee in his top 3.

Connor has been offered recently by Oklahoma and Florida. Smith says he is going to evaluate the situation even more now.

 

[stowfan]

Connor now has an offer from the University of Southern California

Nice touch, Conner made The Sporting News pre season top 100.

 

[PhxBuckeye]

Someone close to Connor is saying that the report that Connor has received an offer from USC is FALSE. I thought I posted this earlier, but maybe it was deleted.

Go Bucks!!! In Tress We Trust.

Ohio State and Michigan are even, with Tennessee, LSU, Oklahoma, and Florida a step behind. Connor will camp at Michigan on June 19th, and then at Ohio State the following weekend. Connor will likely decide on a college some time this summer.

Wow thats stepping out there 'Grad. :cheers: Here's to hoping you are right.

 

[osugrad21]

That was more just to negate the guys who needed CPR...

Throw a dog a bone y'know?

I just can't stand to see negativity regarding a kid during his recruitment...99% of the people on this board do not realize how stressful and confusing the process really is. People can say what they want about George Brown, but the man is taking the heat for his son.

Anyway, back to Connor...
