According to Gary H, Chris did not go to the game out of respect for the tOSU staff. He did call Gary to say he and his entire family were celebrating the win.

The kid understands.

That's a nice move. I can't say I'd do the same in his place. Every time I check this thread, I'm more and more struck by just how great a guy Chris is, and how lucky we are to have him coming down to Columbus next year.

I know it's been said before, but welcome home, Chris. One year at tOSU, and you'll never want to leave--at least I know I would love to go back :)

What a classy individual. I am really looking forward to him playing in the Army bowl and matching up with other big time recruits. It should be fun to watch. I am sure coach Ginn is going to get him the ball.

As Grad already posted......Wells did not attend the game. He called Coach Bollman after the game to congratulate him. Calls Antonio Pittman a great back.

AMP interview with Beanie. He talks about his USC visit saying "it was alright, but it wasn't THE Ohio State University". Wells says he talks with Robert Rose and Ray Small frequently and is recruiting them to join him at tOSU.

Beanie has admittedly been pretty quiet as a recruiter for tOSU so it's good to hear that he is working on Rose and Small. Next we have to get him working on Wallace and Hill.

I can't wait to see Wells at OSU. With him and Pittman at tailback, talk about having a loaded backfield when you add him with Troy Smith. WOW.

I don't know, if I was Chris I would be calling some of these O Lineman. I would be in Joe Thomas's year like crazy.. just a suggestion...lol

Nothing major here as Chris reaffirms his enjoyment of the USC visit but again says there is no place like home and tOSU is where he belongs. He averaged 9.6 yds/carry while gaining 2,134 yards and scoring 28 touchdowns. He will officially visit tOSU in December.

You have to love that remark.

HIGH SCHOOL NEWSWATCH

<H1 class=red>Rams RB Wells an All-American

</H1>

Wednesday, November 23, 2005



From staff reports

Akron Garfield running back Chris Wells was named to the inaugural College Sports TV Networks high school football All-American Team on Tuesday.

The team was selected by Tom Lemming, CSTV's football recruiting editor.
Wells, who has orally committed to Ohio State, was the only player from Ohio named to the team. Wells gained 2,134 yards on 223 carries this season. He scored 27 touchdowns.

I can't think of the last time I was this excited about a running back coming in (other than you know who.)

Maybe some of you who were able to see MoC play in high school can answer this. Who was farther along as a high school back? MoC was able to pick up blitz's and the play book pretty quick. Should we expect the same from Beanie?

 

[OSUBasketballJunkie]

I am no expert at evaluating talent but my personal opinion is that Wells is farther along than Moc at this early stage. Mentally he is light years ahead. Physically he is stronger and in my opinion, more gifted.
