As Colonel Potter used to say "Horse Hockey!!!"
If Troy Smith were playing for a lesser college than OSU, he'd be another Cleo Lemon as well. I think you are forgetting that big name teams' players tend to get bigger names than they sometimes deserve. Take Joey Harrington, for instance, or Ryan Leaf. Guys who become great come from all over the country or are you forgetting an "undersized" MLB who got drafted in the later rounds by the name of Zach Thomas?
however, troy smith was recruited by OSU because of his talents, athletic ability and his potential. If they were similar in any way other than "style" dont you think lemon would have had interest from other bigtime schools?
