It's a bit of a conundrum being a VIP visitor, being able to read the VIP articles but not post VIP or read VIP posts. Not complaining - just commenting.
Will certainly be interesting to see if the "chatter" among UM fans is correct - that Smith is ready to commit this weekend. Michigan has obviously obtained a bunch of early commits, and from guys I didn't think were ready to end the process this early.

I think he has been a Michigan lean from early in the process. So he is another of those Ohio kids who, if he likes what he sees, would pull the trigger. I don't think it is a certainty though.

Thanks Todd. I agree neo I want Isaac, but if we get Smith I'm not complaining. I miss the old days of a big back getting 4.5-5 ypc. Not to mention with this future oline that could easily become 5.5-6 ypc.

More possibility of early playing time so will sign with Michigan instead of OSU and maybe this weekend. Was always a Michigan lead.

Don't think the coaches can go wrong either way so I'm good with Smith, Isaac, or both.

Take both and let them compete for carries. Plus, unfortunately, injuries happen often.

i agree, it really blows. Just watched his video for the first time and i came away very impressed. Kid is a very good runner inside, sheds tackles very well, and seems to have a nose for the endzone. Really like the kids build, what's he listed at? Only thing i didn't see was ability to run away from defenders. How fast is this kid?

There are a few times when it looks like he's going down for sure and he some how finds a way to break the tackle or tackles. I wonder why more programs have not extended an offer.

Looks like Smith is a bit better than Issac at shaking free of defenders, and that Isaac is better than Smith at making sure a defender never touches him in the first place.

Another area that helps set Isaac apart is his receiving ability. I love guys that catch it out of the backfield, really helps on third-downs.

Agreed, backs that can catch the ball are a really underrated asset.
