Bill Greene ‏@BillBankGreene Corey Smith has decommitted from Mississppi State and has committed to Ohio State.

Big get, IMO. I expect him to come in and play right away.

Sounds like this kid wants to win championships; not rot at Miss St.

Probably. Interesting he was willing to take a pay-cut to do so.

If we only get 1 more player in the rest of this class, I hope it is Vonn Bell. Sounds like Dontre Wilson may be staying at Oregon. If we get either 1 of those, I'd be happy. But I have a feeling we miss out on both.

FWIW, Mike Farrel has it down to OSU and Tennessee for Bell, giving OSU the slight edge.

Still thinking Bama? Apparently he made it clear he wants early playing time which Saben isn't prepared to guarantee. I haven't really looked into our depth or Tennessee's so I don't know who'd hold the advantage in that regard.

Went into a recruiting blackout either last night or today until national signing day. Actually think Elliot's was yesterday because Vonn Bell's starts after Coach Withers final visit today.

I honestly think we get Bell. I'm pretty close to booking it.

Yeah, only thing is Tennessee was his team growing up and helping them rebuild can appeal to his emotions. But if the kid wants to compete for championships along with early playing time then the choice is pretty clear.

jbook ‏@jbook37
Per Vonn Bell coach to Rivals, Bell & Family is very impressed with Everett Withers. He is being sent in today as the Closer.

jbook ‏@jbook37
Per Vonn Bell coach he will commit to a school & call the coaches to inform them of his decision but will be tight lip until he announces.

Has Bell said he's announcing on LOI day? Or is he doing it at another date?

My money would be on Tennessee. Alabama is likely out but never discount urban and co.

If we don't get Vonn Bell (or Dontre Wilson), I'm perfectly fine with James Clark. Just saw his highlight video. Wow! This is some of the best breakaway speed I've seen since Tedd Ginn and Brandon Saine.

247 profile: http://247sports.com/Player/James-Clark-21593
Highlight video: http://www.hudl.com/athlete/551318/highlights/32901421

Also, regarding James Clark:

jbook ‏@jbook37
James Clark tells @davebiddle that the winter weather in Ohio will not affect his decision. Said if he goes to the NFL he has to play in it.

jbook ‏@jbook37
James Clark tells @davebiddle that he has a great relationship with the staff & Corey Smith commitment will not affect his decision.

jbook ‏@jbook37
Big thing that stands out in the James Clark interview is he mention that Florida is already bringing in 5 WR's already & he looks at depth

jbook ‏@jbook37
Here is a highlight tape of James Clark who told Biddle he runs a legit 4.38. Kid reminds me of a young Santonio Holmeshttp://www.hudl.com/athlete/551318/highlights/32901421 …

Not to be greedy, but I'll definitely take that bonus.
