Yes, I look forward to a conversation in the future as well, Fever. I've made my comments. People will get to see him live in the playoffs and should he come to YSU, they'll see him first hand everyday. Then my judgement can be viewed openly. There are a number of sites with film on Wells. If you see them , let me point out some obvious problems -- first , he doesn't throw a "rope". He throws "rainbows". That's a dead giveaway to lack of arm strength. Next, look at the distance or pattern that he throws to. Short. Then there is the question of accuracy and ball placement shows up well in that. And last but not least, the "quality" of competition also sticks out ( and the lack of speed). Must not forget these films are "highlites", the "best he has". Given the speed at this level ( both of the rush, which he hasn't seen and the DBs closing speed), I expect him to be in trouble early on in the adjustment. He'll be red-shirted. At least two current YSU QBs ( Wargo & Davis) I would judge to be better than him and neither is nowhere near being a back-up here much less the starter .
Now. lets address the recruiting here. Its no secret that Wolf has recruited a QB or two EVERY YEAR he has been here. They have been looking for a needle in a haystack annually. He has yet to find a replacement for the current starter. Oops, take that back. He HAD the replacement for Hess but didn't play him ( Angle) , so the kid transferred out after last season. At last glance , he is the Captain and immediate starter at Ohio Northern and threw for 233 yds and 3 TDs on 17 of 24 last Saturday. However, since he isn't around, I'm going to chuckle when your boy fails to beat out the current backup who is a 6' former Wing T H.S. QB from W. Pa. they tried to convert to a Safety this year. YSU has the problem that none ( including your incoming boy) of their QBs are D-I starters and will be at a serious disadvantage on O next year. But then, no one has to take my word for it........ the peanut gallery will get to see it first hand. There will be a serious problem at QB here next year.
Then I'll get to come back on here and tell you I told you first what was going to happen
BTW, I'm aware that several schools looked at Wells but none offered EXCEPT YSU. Wells quickly accepted his only offer. Can't blame him for wanting a free education. I hope he is successful in that endeavor. But really........ lets review...... a RECORD setting QB.......... from STARK COUNTY.............and he has a scholarship to YSU ? People recruit Ohio heavily. Not a MAC school ? Not a CUSA ? Not the Big 10 ? YSU must be getting a "steal" ?
Where have I heard that before ?
