Wells not happy with FSU
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Categories
Gainesville defensive end Keith Wells appeared a lock to sign with Florida State in February following a commitment announcement at his school last summer.
But the 6-foot-5, 270-pound Wells now appears determined to spend the next four weeks testing the waters around the ACC and SEC.
“Right now, I’d say I will visit Tennessee, Miami and FSU,” Wells said. “And if anyone falls through, I’ve got schools like Clemson, Notre Dame and Alabama.
“I’m still not exactly sure which remaining three visits I’ll take. More than likely it will be FSU. If not this weekend, it’ll be my last visit. I’ll probably go to Tennessee next weekend and Miami on Jan. 25.”
Florida State’s prospects of regaining ground with Wells might be as simple as picking up a telephone.
“They’re not communicating with me a lot,” Wells said. “I guess they’re just wanting to see what I’m going to do. Me and the guy who was recruiting me at FSU just haven’t communicated like we used to.
“I don’t like that. It shows that they’re not concerned, as far as recruiting me and getting me to come there.”
If Wells withdraws his commitment to the Seminoles, he admitted that winding up at Notre Dame might be a long shot.
“Notre Dame still hasn’t offered,” he said. “I guess they want to get me there on an official and evaluate me and my game film.
“But I won’t seriously consider going up there unless they offer me a scholarship.”

Cedar Grove’s Jarboe shines in Orlando

Cedar Grove receiver Josh Jarboe’s outstanding performance in Saturday’s Under Armour All-America Game didn’t go unnoticed around the country.
Recruiting guru Jamie Newberg listed Jarboe as one of the players who saw his stock rise following last weekend’s all-star activities at Disney World.
Jarboe’s acting abilities were nearly as good as his efforts on the field.
Just when Jarboe appeared set to sport a Florida hat on ABC, Jarboe broke the hearts of Florida Gators fans when an Oklahoma cap suddenly appeared.
“I came up with that on my own,” Jarboe said.
Jarboe said he was pleased with his performance last week in Orlando.
“I’ve been knowing I can be rated higher than I am,” he said. “I wasn’t complaining. I just went down there and showed what I can do.”
Jarboe said one major factor led him to choose the Sooners over the Gators.
“I think I have better chance to play early at Oklahoma,” he said.
