Bad both ways for the Irish.

I live in the Fort Wayne area- and this guy is a stud. I wish the Irish could have offered him, but I think he may have had an academic speed bump or two. (I really hate that shit). Fort Wayne has had some very good talent in the past 10-15 years, and Smith may be the best of that group. This is a very good pick up for the Bucks.

Smith excites me more than Berry and Hyde do right now. That's not to say I know which one of the three will go on to have the best career, but if Smith destroys some teams this season and gets that 5th star, it might be justified.

He brings alot to the table. The comp may not be that great but he was running away from it pretty easy.

Wayne with all of it culture and night life. I'm just kidding, my aunt used to live near there and they would always talk about going into town for this or that. I don't care what state it is, or what high school you go to, if you're good, you're good. I live in Northern Kentucky and when Shaun Alexander was in high school people said yeah but who did he play against? Guess what it didn't matter, that dude was awesome. Also, he put on about 30lbs of muscle from his senior year in high school til his sophomore year in college. If they have the talent, regardless of who they play in highschool, they can be built into awesome college running backs. Oh yes, the booming metropolis that is Ft.

We hope. I like the way they used him as a receiver. It's nice to have that versatility in a guy his size. He is… untackleable. We hope.

However, this Smith kid looks like the real deal, and glad to have him with the Buckeyes. Hardly a ringing endorsement for Bishop Dwenger.

Very fast at getting to top end speed and then a very smooth runner with great strides. Clip does not show him getting hit at all though..is that because he goes down every time? Like what I see.
