Eleven Warriors said this weekend that if Vonn Bell had to chose right now, it would be OSU.

Would have been the same with Diggs last year. My biggest worry is him making visits after tOSU, especially Bama.

[RappSoda]

Be very worried about Alabama with Vonn Bell. We won't know until NLOI day.

If he leaves Columbus this weekend without committing, he's committing to Alabama.

[b00bie]

If he leaves Columbus this weekend without committing, he's committing to Alabama.

Glad that's settled.

A name that just emerged today as a weekend visitor is Corey Smith. He's a 4* JUCO wide receiver who's originally from Akron Buchtel and is currently committed to Mississippi State. Seems as though he'd be a good bet to commit on his visit this weekend.

Top 100 LB recruit Alex Anzalone decommits from ND, heads to Florida. Hasn't been a great week thus far for the Irish

— Dan Wetzel (@DanWetzel) January 10, 2013

For those of you that don't pay close attention to this stuff... Alex Anzalone was once committed to Ohio State. He was on a visit with Joey Bosa and some other OSU commits when one night he was hanging out with a "fan" who, later OSU found out, had a past that penned him a sexual predator. Upon finding out, Anzalone senior made his kid decommit. He then committed to Notre Dame and had been there for a long time... Until now.

I'd be creeped out too if I was hanging out with a weirdo like that, but the other commits that were with him didn't take the situation as seriously and thought Anazalone was a flake. Well, this seals it.

*** Glenville Athlete Christopher Worley committed to OSU today. Likely to end up in either the STAR position on defense or as a LB. Makes 22 commits now for the 2013 class.

Would Jaylon Smith decommitt If Kelly goes to the nfl

[NorthCoastKid]

Would Jaylon Smith decommitt If Kelly goes to the nfl

I don't believe so

[NorthCoastKid]

Ryan Timmons, the WR from Kentucky who was scheduled to take an official visit this week, has canceled, presumably due to the sudden interest in Corey Smith.

[col63onel]

Right now, we are right at the scholarship limit. Unless some current guys transfer, we won't be taking many, if any more.

[jhard]

There are 4-5 guys who are rumored to possibly be transferring.
most of the people with some knowledge are assuming we take on a full 25.

Would be nice to finish with Gibson, Bell & either of the OTs (Hunt & Skipper)

[NorthCoastKid]

Don't be surprised if Corey Smith makes it in the class over Shelton Gibson. There have been some rumblings of that happening in the last 48 hours.
