Ohio State football: Fellows, Hall, Newsome and more recruiting - Cleveland Sports News

Melvin Fellows, defensive end, Garfield Heights, 6-foot-5, 245 pounds, ranked as No. 82 prospect by Scout.com and No. 29 by the just updated ratings at Rivals.com.

Fellows is the type of kid who appears to be enjoying the recruiting process and the idea of being wanted. Who wouldn't?

"It's not tough at all," he said. "I take it all in stride, that everyone would love to have at least one scholarship offer. I take it like I'm blessed."

When Notre Dame joined the list of schools offering Fellows a scholarship in February, he made sure that word got out. That's what helps throw into question his oral commitment delivered to Illinois in December, though he takes some offense at any perception that he made a rash decision.

"Everyone asks, 'Did you commit because they were the first school that offered you?'" Fellows said. "They don't understand that I was offered after my sophomore year. So I thought long and hard about that."

And he's continuing to think. His visit to Ohio State's spring game on Saturday went well, but he's hanging with the Illini for now.

Um, yes it is.

The writing has been on the wall for a while and Zook & co. were expecting this for a while.

He is 100% Buckeye. I would love to laugh at your "in" who thinks it's not.

Bump.
Maybe we should just keep this thread toward the top for a bit.
