In a way you almost have to group Marshall in with Smith and Mitchell, despite the fact that we have Jordon Hall back next year. You could honestly argue that we haven't had a dynamic pair of explosive receivers like that on offense since Teddy Ginn and Tony Gonzalez... and we all remember how much trouble teams had defending the both of them. Adding Marshall in the slot and Smith on the outside is going to move our passing offense miles ahead of where it was last year, especially if you consider adding Baugh to Vannett and Heuerman at TE... Hell with the receivers and TEs we'll have over the next few years... Bill O'Brien should be drooling in envy with his heavily NE themed offense, haha.

But there is definitely no arguing that we desperately needed to land Mitchell, we have a great group of young LBs to develop, but Mitchell is the kind of versatile athlete that will almost certainly be starting day one and hopefully providing us with the anchor in the LB corp we didn't have last year until Boren switched from offense to defense.

Scouting Report: WR Corey Smith
Breaking Down Ohio State’s Latest Commit
By Brandon Castel

COLUMBUS, Ohio — One of the hottest names in Ohio State recruiting over the last week has been Corey Smith.

Not just because the 4-star wide receiver out of Akron has decided to sign with the Buckeyes on National Signing Day, but also because of the obscurity surrounding his path back to Ohio.

This was a kid who was once considered one of the top offensive players in the state of Ohio, back when he was a star wideout at Akron Buchtel High School in 2010. He originally committed to play for Tennessee, but a lot of that was due to the cloud of uncertainty that surrounded Smith and his eligibility.

Ultimately, he wouldn’t sign anywhere right of high school. The 6-foot, 185-pound receiver ended up at Grand Rapids Community College two years ago before that program was terminated after 80 years and one undefeated season in 2011.

Coach Tony Annese left to become new coach at Ferris State, and Smith ended up down at East Mississippi Community College in Scooba, Miss. He initially committed to play for Dan Mullen, one of Urban Meyer’s closest protégés, down at Mississippi State.

That was before Smith took his official visit to Columbus, and the Ohio native ultimately decided to grab Meyer’s offer to come back home and wear the scarlet and gray. Because he’s a JUCO kid, Smith will only have three years to play two, which means Meyer and his staff will be looking for every reason to get him on the field as a newcomer in 2013.
