As we all know, Miami fans wanted badly to keep Jeremiah Smith home. That never happened, and Smith has already spent two seasons at Ohio State.

But during today’s College Football Playoff Cotton Bowl press conferences, Smith admitted something that will grab the attention of Hurricanes fans.

Smith said that if Miami was where it is right now back when he signed with Ohio State, he believes he would’ve ended up at Miami.

Smith was asked, “If Miami had won more or played in games like this during your high school career, would you be a Hurricane right now?”

Here’s exactly what he said:

“Most likely, yeah, I’d have probably ended up at Miami if things were on the right track then. But I chose to stick with Ohio State.”

Now, Smith will get the chance to play against his home state when Ohio State faces Miami on December 31st in the College Football Playoff Cotton Bowl.

I’m so sick of this storyline. Respectfully, I don’t give a **** about what J4 almost did 3 years ago. It’s history….time to move on.

Let’s go win this game with the guys that bought into Mario’s vision. The focus should be on this team exclusively. Time to shock the world.

I’m sick of this dude

The media is getting into his head (pause).

U can tell that OSU doesn’t tell him what to do or even suggest things. They are scared of him and try to stay on his good side. No one has directed or told him how to handle these questions.

It’s pretty wild to even admit that, he should’ve just said Ohio state is where I really wanted to be

This dude needs to be treated like an ex. Why are we talking about him, hoping he comes back home, checking his social media?

One step further. I don’t give a **** what he’s ever done or ever will do.

I also hope he never transfers here.

I wouldn't blame any five star for running for the State Line after the famous No Kneel game.

That said, he missed out on Cam Ward and Heatherman's Defense. He's got a ring, though. So there's that.

You guys are completely obsessed with JJ. He had a choice. We have won 10 games both seasons he has been in college and now we are in the playoffs. I personally don't care what comes out of his mouth. I have no problem with him, good kid, great player and great work ethic. I wish him the best and a loss Weds with less than a 100 yards and no TD's. Go Canes!
