He says he is down to three teams (tOSU, GTech and USC). tOSU was supposedly visiting him last night and Coach T is set for an in-home visit on Dec. 8.

He said tOSU was a great visit and he thought about committing but he wanted to see GTech.

HH stated on Bucknuts that OSU fans "should go to sleep at night feeling good about" these two recruits (see below). Sounds pretty positive to me Wooohooo .. cross your fingers.

Elijah Hodge(LB).........................and ............ Maurice Wells (RB)

Its always nice to get 3-4 Florida boys at OSU. IMO we get wells but Hodge will be a Iowa/OSU battle.

HH's caption to that photo: "Two future Buckeyes!" He knows something we don't!

 

[OSUBasketballJunkie]

Anytime HH says something, I tend to believe him or his sources, sounds promising for the buckeyes...

We have to land Wells, he is the #1 priority in this class now.

 

[ysubuck]

I agree bucknuts!

The kid looks tough and has speed to burn. Haw, Pittman, and Wells with Troy Smith slinging the rock. Who's going to be able to keep up with that?

Everyone is talking about bringing in a big back, but Haw is 210 lbs. OSU might be in trouble if he goes down, but Wells looks tough enough to handle the load along with Pittman!! Pittman will probably be 200 lbs by the time the season gets here!! These kids are young and still growing!!

 

[CleveBucks]

We don't need a big back.... we need someone who can break a tackle or make someone miss. Lydell Ross was a "big back" that ran like a 150 lb'er.

 

[jwinslow]

Despite his height, Hart can make a lot of people miss if he isn't gobbled up in the backfield all day (like he was on the 20th).

 

[BrutusBobcat]

The guy looks like he's all business. We need someone ready to come in here with the right attitude and contribute, like Adrian Peterson and scUM's wonder midget, and Wells could be that guy. As much as I'm a fan of bigger backs for their blocking, I think with the Smith shotgun single wing whatever the hell it is offense we're running, that a quick back who can make cuts, read holes and get outside can do some real damage. Pittman got some mad YPC this year, and Wells looks to be even more talented.

Here is Helpinghand's post on the BN board.
Looks good for the Buckeyes. :)

Any updates on Wells?

Any updates on Wells?

He has a visit scheduled with Georgia Tech and will announce his final decision at the AA game. Not sure how many more updates there will be until then. As HH has pointed out the Buckeyes appear to be in pretty good shape.

 

[CriticalSteve]

I have begun to look at HH as the voice of the recruit.
But not the voice of the University.
But if these 2 have decided that they want to Buckeyes, then that's good.

USC hasn't called very much lately and according Mo it is probably too late for them to get back in the mix. MoW confirmed again it is between tOSU and GTech.

He says that he will likely make his decision shortly after this weekend's visit to GTech.

not sure if that means he will now announce before the AA game Jan. 15th??

 

[JCOSU86]

I would be shocked if he choses Ga Tech over OSU. But I have been wrong before.


Naw, he's gonna be a Buck.

Elijah too.
