I met him and Aaron Brown last night at the Touchdown Club, and I asked them both what they were thinking. Brown said he loved OSU and probably would go there, and Wells told me "he pretty much knew where he was going". Then he told me "you're probably not going to want to know, trust me" and kinda frowned like he was sad that he disappointed me. It was bizarre. He already knew then he was going to Ohio State, I guess, but I was kinda disheartened. I wasn't going to post it, though, because I saw his quotes earlier about waiting until after his season and I figured a lot could change.

Isn't a OL expected to commit this weekend too (Brown?)??

Gotta love locking up the key recuirts in State early, Jamario and Boone this year... Wells this year, This will probably add a few years to my life not having to worry about this for a year.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I totally did not expect this. Thought sure Wells would go til the end of the recruiting year. IMO this next class is 50% of the way to being a success.

Thank you Rich Rodriquez - don't know how I can ever repay you.

Now we have to wait a whole year to see if JT can close out this class in Feb. :)

As already announced, Chris Wells called the staff to give a verbal commitment. He loves everything about the school...the city, the coaches, the players, the academics. Beanie admits that he was following the Gwaltney situation but it really had no effect on his decision. He had been to campus before but getting a closer look at the academic programs and facilities closed the deal. His parents were both pulling for tOSU and the visit impressed them as well. Asked about coach Tressel's reaction upon receiving the news Chris said,
I think he was pretty happy," Wells said. "I think I'm really going to like it there."

Great pick up for the Buckeyes.
