I love the love that they show me.” The Cats were the early favorites for the third-ranked athlete in the 247 Composite, but the Buckeyes have gained ground over the summer.  Urban Meyer said enough at a visit to Columbus in May to give Ohio State momentum.  Smith has pushed back his decision date twice since then, except he actually never had a decision date. “Honestly, it’s just to keep people guessing,” the 6'6" wide receiver said. “Like I said at the beginning, when all this started, I was going to take as long as I needed. I am not going to have a date, I’m going to commit when I am ready to commit. Because you know what? It’s fun. I mean, sometimes I just want to get away because it can get overwhelming, but it’s fun for the most part.” Smith's honesty is refreshing.  I was already a fan of his game and his name, but now he's just messing with people?  Fantastic. Smith did not set a decision date in the interview but he did provide an excellent tease in the Land of 10 article.
