Man do we ever need Wells. life does indeed go on, and I'm sure we'd be fine next year at running back with Pittman, and Haw. However if Wells commits I truely believe he would play a TON, and in doing so he'd definatly keep haw and pittman fresh. I truely believe we need this kid. Mainly because of his vesitality, and his speed. Lets say this kid is a threat also catching the ball. If we move him around like they do bush over at USC, and are forced to cover him with a linebacker because Holmes, and Ginn are getting covered by Db's (sometimes doubled). Then Bush I MEAN wells would truely do wonders in the flats and catching the ball and getting those yards that we need coming outta the back field as a reciever.

Then that also leaves Gonzo and Lyons to be covered by safeties, and if Hall plays te, to be covered by a lb. Next year our offense might be aboe 80 ranked in the nation but you never know. :)

Oh, I'm certainly not trying to say Wells is unimportant... by far the opposite. I just think some of us are getting a bit too worked up about one recruit, especially one that HH says we're likely to land. I'm as excited as the rest of you when I consider the potential this kid has, and what he could do for the Bucks, but I'm not going to lose sleep over this decision.

Please don't think this is directed at anyone in particular... I'm just trying to articulate my feelings on this.

I was on the rivals.com site today and noticed that Maurice Wells wasn't even in their Top 25 RB recruits? What happened to him, last I recalled he was rated pretty highly?

Wells is rated as the #3 APB. I don't know what they mean by all-purpose-back, but I think it just means they're receivers and runners.

I'll be comfortable with the Well's situation when he signs a letter of intent for tOSU. He looks like a perfect fit as a Buckeye RB (APB or not), I'm hoping Maurice sees the same thing.

Till then I'll fret that HH's crystal ball is cloudy on the Well's front.
