The rumor mill was working overtime on Thursday morning, and we now have confirmation that those rumors are true: three-star cornerback Devonta Smith is de-committing from Ohio State.
As always, its tough to get a gauge on accuracy when noise begins swirling around the Twittersphere. However, rumors of Smith’s de-commitment really got legs once the 247Sports Crystal Balls began flowing in for a flip to Alabama. When trusted recruiting experts like Steve Wiltfong, Bill Kurelic and Allen Trieu, among others, began submitting high-confidence CBs for the Crimson Tide, it was clear that things were all but over.
