Scott really never looked at any other northern schools last year than us and still came to OSU...even at that, he is the exception and not the rule. As it pertains to Wells though, a lot of the sites seem to think we have a good shot, especially Scout from the articles I have read. I think he stays south but I really do think OSU will be a major player in his recruitment.

better be a heck of a visit because the article didn't sound real good for OSU.

Could have changed...it was before he took his UF visit when all the site insiders were saying it would likely come down to us and UF. It still seems as if we can get back into things...he has only seen GT, UNC, and UF, so he really doesn't have a ton of schools to compare yet.

National powers court Wells

Gainesville defensive end Keith Wells said Wednesday evening he?ll likely play football for Auburn, Florida, Florida State, Georgia Tech, North Carolina or Ohio State.

The 6-foot-5, 222-pound Wells had been scheduled to visit Notre Dame this week, but the trip was cancelled at the last moment.

The odds are against Wells being able to fit a visit to South Bend into his summer schedule.

?Honestly, I won?t be able to make it to Notre Dame to one of their summer camps,? said Wells, who has approximately 20 scholarship offers. ?And as far as taking a visit, that will probably be impossible because we?ve got so much going on team-wise.?

Wells, who is being recruited as an outside linebacker by Auburn, Alabama and Notre Dame and a defensive end by all other schools, figures he will commit no later than October.

Wells critiques his contenders:

On Auburn - ?I haven?t been there yet, but I plan on taking an unofficial visit there soon. I hear they have a great campus, but it?s not in the best area. It?s in the middle of nowhere. They do have a legacy of winning in football.?

On Florida - ?As far as an all-around school with a great campus, academics, coaching and all of those things, Florida is probably my top all-around school because they have top points in almost everything, not just football.?

On Florida State - ?I?ve never been there, but from what I hear the facilities are great. They have a legacy of winning and a lot of big name players have come out of FSU.?

On Georgia Tech - ?The feel when I get on that campus is a feeling like everything and everybody is so close. It?s a great atmosphere. And I?m from Atlanta and very familiar with the city.?

On North Carolina - ?Their coaching really stands out more than anything. They have [coach] Butch Davis and arguably the best defensive line coach in the nation in John Blake. They have a big business school, and that?s what I want to major in. The campus is beautiful and nice.?

On Ohio State - ?I haven?t been up there to see it, but a lot of people are telling me their facility and campus is amazing. I want to see it for myself. Football and academics are two important things at Ohio State, and so is basketball.?

Wells plans to visit Florida, Florida State, Auburn and Ohio State in July.

7/3

By Kevin Noon...Wells talks about his off-season training and his goals for his senior season. He also addresses the fact that OSU is the only Northern school in his top 6 (Ohio State, Auburn, Florida, Florida State, Georgia Tech and North Carolina). He says he texts back and forth with Brewster and Sweat regularly and is aware that tOSU just had two DE's leave the team.
