Wells Checks Out Auburn

By Phil Kornblut
LB Keith Wells (6-5 220) of Gainesville, GA made his official visit to Auburn over the weekend and liked a lot of what he saw. "It was pretty good," Wells said. "It was better than I expected it to be. Their practice was real exciting and intense. It was good watching the coaches coach the players and I got to hang out with some of the players." Wells also has visited Ohio State. He remains committed to Florida State and will visit there January 11th. And he's planning to visit Tennessee January 18th and Clemson January 25th.

ND called to see if Keith was interested in the Irish, but Keith says he needs an offer before he can have any real interest.

Wells no longer a Florida State lock; Loftley down to two

Despite committing to Florida State in August, Gainesville defensive end Keith Wells said Thursday night he?s back in evaluation mode.

?I?m still verbally committed to Florida State, but at the same time I?m still taking visits to make sure Florida State is where I want to be,? Wells said.

?I?ve visited Ohio State and Auburn. I?ll visit Florida State in January, and possibly Tennessee and Notre Dame.?

The Fighting Irish haven?t yet extended a scholarship offer. But Wells believes he is only a visit away from receiving one from coach Charlie Weis? staff.

?Notre Dame hasn?t offered, but [assistant] coach [Bill] Lewis wants to see some film of my season this year,? he said. ?Hopefully, if my film is impressive they will offer.

?They may offer; they may not offer. I just want to get up there on my visit.?

Wells said he?s trying to keep an open mind when it comes to the academic scandal that rocked Tallahassee earlier this week.

?I think about it,? Wells admitted. ?But it really doesn?t effect how I feel about Florida State because that?s only 20 or so individuals who decided to make that decision.

?I don?t think a school should be judged by a group of individuals who made a bad decision. But it does have me thinking ?what is going on inside Florida State with what the recruits can?t see or the parents can?t see.??

Wells, who says he will take five official visits prior to national signing day, said he gets mixed signals from his recruiting coach at FSU, Jody Allen, when they discuss him taking visits to other schools.

?I spoke to coach Allen after I visited Ohio State, and I don?t think they were too nervous then,? Wells said. ?But I know before I took my visit to Ohio State he didn?t want me to go on any trip. I guess he was nervous then.

?We have three other defensive ends besides me committed, so I don?t think they?re too nervous. They just want to see what I?m going to do. I?ll make a final decision two weeks before signing day.?

In regard to his comments... a school should be judged on instutional control... and FSU has none right now.

Has elephant chimed in since his UA visit?

[BGriffBuckeye]

There are two places to go for that info..

Either through this thread, find where he posted last, and check the date on it, or....
The Rumor Mill.

Sounds as if Keith plans to announce in fairly rapid order after his last visit, so hopefully we'll know something in mid-January.

Aww, man, whichever Mod deleted that guy's post... I had a GREAT retort back at him, one so great it would have been GPA worthy ... oh well, hopefully he was banned.

His rubbish had nothing to do with Keith Wells. It may have been "appropriate" to get in to that issue on another thread (and by appropriate I mean stupid, but at least within the topic).

Back to Wells.

From the Clemson site. Wells says he is still committed to the Seminoles, but wants to be 100% sure of his choice. He has taken visits to Auburn and Ohio State, and will also visit Tennessee and FSU. His final visit could come down to Clemson and Notre Dame.
