DEL.ICIO.USWells not happy with FSU
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Published on: 01/08/08
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.”

Both of you need to come to Tech- we don’t have any players in the Rivals 250 list, so you would have a chance for A LOT OF playing time. You could be the star of our class.

Jarboe doesn’t have the grades to get into GT, plain and simple.

GT, forget any serious QB or WR commitments as long as Johnson and the triple option ground attack. p.s. thanks for Colin Peek!

Charleston Dawg, you’re stuttering again. Probably drooling, too.

FSU would love to have Keith Wells. We all feel it’s best that he make the best decision for himself. The coaches will be there for him if he has any questions.

Coachs are allowed to make one call per week during the dead period leading up to signing day. Anybody calling Wells more than that is in violation.

If Stephon Marbury can get into Georgia Tech, Josh Jarboe can get into Tech too. Why would a kid that talented want to play wideout for a team that runs the triple option. We ran various forms of the triple option(I,wishbone, vear, etc.,) in high school. The only thing the split ends were good for was killing grass!

What do you mean Jarboe had a great performance in the All-Star game - several deep balls were thrown to him but he never caught a single pass - short or deep… how was that a great performance?
