As it relates to M (since Mitchell will most likely end up at M if OSU passes):
The other thing playing into this is that the 2017 WRs OSU brings in will be the best group in the country. It's a sign of the very, very good times when Ahmir Mitchell isn't a TAKE for OSU at the moment.
Personally, I like Mitchell and would take him.
The appearance of Ahmir Mitchell, a four-star out of New Jersey, is the big news concerning the wide receiver group for the 2016 class. The main question is: Would Ohio State accept his commitment? At the moment, I believe that answer is "NO."
Who is ahead of Mitchell on the board? There are three players ranked significantly higher in Ohio State's eyes, Binjimen Victor, Donnie Corley and Nate Craig-Myers. While the Buckeyes do not appear to be leading for any of the three, Ohio State might be willing to chase all three all the way to National Signing Day.
Do they NEED a second outside receiver? That answer would be a resounding No, especially with four-star Austin Mack already in the fold. The second wideout needs to be a home run, or they will pass. Is Mitchell a home run, or a double off the wall? Right now, he's not a home run.
How does Mitchell get in? That one is easy. He needs to come to FNL, and show them what they have not seen to date, be it speed, polish, route-running, hands, or whatever. Blowing the doors off Urban Meyer and Zach Smith might be the only way Mitchell puts his name in the "taker" category. It's easily one of the top stories of Friday Night Lights to follow.
