Considering the height, the frame, and the modest 40 time, anybody else thinking All-American tight-end instead of WR for this kid?

Great point OSUGrad21. I have to admit I would have loved the speed-power combo of Wells and Gwaltney, but make no mistake about it, Maurice Wells was the staff's #1 priority at running back all along. The kid is solid at 5'9" 185 lbs, a has a compact body which lends itself to durability. He...

Wow. Everybody grab something to hold on to. Let's hope when the roller coaster is over the Buckeyes end up on top. First OSU on top thread for Ashley that I've seen in a month or so.

Hey Mili, how about treating people with a little respect around here? Mine was meant to be a positive post. Are we supposed to believe everything 17 and 18 year old kids say? I imagine Alex will sign with Minnesota, but neither you nor I know exactly why he's still talking to OSU. If everything...

I respect W-stripes for the accuracy of most of his predictions. Kudos especially for Davis and D. Jarett. I have no doubt that Jason did silently verbal to USC while in L.A. or that he does talk to Brian Cushing about rooming together at USC. But the kid consistently stops by OSU recruiting...

Nevada says there's reason to keep hope alive! That's all we can do. Tell me, if he's 100% Minnesota then why visit OSU yesterday? Why take OSU calls? Why not ask OSU not to call anymore? If you think "burning bridges" is the answer, then I've got some ocean front property for ya' in...

Duane Long confirmed offer on bucknuts. Visiting this weekend.

TSteele- Actually, M. Wells was quoted in one of his updates as saying the reason USC had fallen behind OSU and GT was that "they had stopped calling him." So, I don't think your logic holds up. He basically indicated the initial reduction of interest came on the part of USC so he followed by...

Every school has to have a competitive advantage in recruiting a certain position. At OSU there are a number of positions we recruit well. However, running back has to be the single most prized position on an Ohio State football team. Being the starting tailback at THE Ohio State University...

Agreed. I would love to land Gwaltney but the guy I had as #1 from the get-go was Wells. Amazing vision and cutback ability and speed to blow the doors off. I don't care what Newberg and his buddies want to drop his ranking to, he's going to be a very very good back at OSU.

I have long thought that Jason Gwaltney to USC was inevitable. But I can't shake a couple of the things that have been reported. First, the "insiders" come back from San Antonio saying OSU has a real shot. Then he visits the Rivals board and sets an announce date for this Wednesday. Then he...

As per Alan, the member NevadaBuck is a bit of an insider. At 3:30 on Bucknuts he indicated that "it looked pretty good" for McCoy and to "keep the fingers crossed." Also, there is supposedly a picture of McCoy in San Antonio to be posted later today (bucknuts) that Buckeye fans will like...

Guys, let's get back to the topic at hand. I think Snyder's comment that "we (OSU) should be getting what we need," speaks to Maurice Wells being "in" and the staff feeling they have "a fighting shot" at Gwaltney. If Jason goes elsewhere staff turns all eyes to Chris Wells ('06). With Grady...

I felt better about the kid after reading his side of things in the Rivals article. Seems like he's been thinking about things a lot. I think the distance is the main factor, the allegations were the straw that broke the camel's back. Didn't rule out a visit with his mom to OSU yet. Though...

Call me crazy, but the timing of this really bothers me. First, I don't want anything distracting Wells from OSU. Now we have Collins saying he wants to be a Buckeye just days before Wells announces- more fuel for GA Tech coaches. Next, I love Collins and want him very much to be our "big...

Don't be surprised if both Walker Ashley and Jason Gwaltney end up USC Trojans. When you're hot, you're hot. Pete Carroll is quickly becoming a legendary recruiter. He's certainly getting the best of JT in head-to-head matchups. Consider these recent recruits: Dwayne Jarrett- USC from New...

I just don't think Jason will be a Buckeye unless something happens with Maurice Wells, sending him to Ga Tech. Even then, I'm just not convinced. He's had 2 leaders, neither of which was OSU, and both of which are in his final 3. Believe it or not, I think he's another one that's going to end...

I continue to find it interesting that OSU pulled Adam Myers-White's scholarship partly for (and I'm paraphrasing now...) "stringing OSU along," yet Alex Daniels has rarely had anything nice to say about OSU and continues to get a lot of love from OSU. There are obviously some things I, as a...

I can understand a recruit in CA getting cold feet based on all the stuff being said. Again, I think ESPN has been shameless in its attack on OSU. The Alamo Bowl coverage was a disgrace. Mark May and Trev Alberts have abolutely no sense, let alone class. I do not believe there is a lack of...

Let's hope there is no relationship between the Hardesty recruitment and the Maurice Wells decision, which is almost imminent.
