RB Maurice Wells (Official Thread)

if wells is a silent verbal, it helps osu.

even if wells were to come out and commit to osu, he is still taking his GT trip, and it wont deter GT from recruiting him at all.

Although it probably wouldnt make a difference to gwaltny or stewert, osu can still play the "we need a rb" card for as long as they can.

Also, it allows the staff to turn up the heat on other candidates. osu should have somebody camped on Gwaltny's doorstep. We havent heard much about osu pursuing him as of late. I dont know if that is good or bad.

Not for nothing but you don't rack up that kind of yardage in a big school Jacksonville league by accident. Thats the exact same league Ciatrick Fason came from.

Also IIRC the 3 big florida schools all wanted him but backed off when he made it clear he was going out of state. So that would make it USC, OSU, Miami, FSU and UF all after a kid who led the state of florida in rushing at a big school in the biggest city.

No such thing as a can't miss in recruiting but I'll put money on this kid being a player all day long based on those facts alone.

My ultimate: Wells and either Gwaltney or Stewart + Ringer

But I would take: Wells + Ringer and maybe a late qualifying Ford

And I would settle: Wells + Ringer


We should be on that McCoy kid from PA for '06 class yesterday...

C-bus Dispatch $$

A few quotes from MoW

"There were 100,000 people in the stands," Wells said yesterday from his Jacksonville, Fla., home. "I’d never seen anything like that before. I liked what I saw."

"I feel like I would have an opportunity to come in and play right away," Wells said of Ohio State. "That’s always good."

BK said that tOSU wants two backs (small speed guy and a big power guy)- the ideal scenario is Wells/Gwaltney.

BK also said that Snoop is not likely to happen and RInger's coach is quoted saying the lines of communication are still open regarding Ringer.

I will say, I tend to feel positive about the information. I think it's real that Wells is the next Maurice to attend Ohio State..

EDIT: Another BP Poster has corroborated my opinions and feelings on this as well. Multiple sources equal great things.
So... do you have sources or feelings?
