Ohio State signs Andre Wesson; Andre Wesson has officially signed his letter-of-intent to become an Ohio State Buckeye, choosing them over Richmond and Butler.

Talent runs in the family of the 6-7 Wesson with his brother being the 6-10, 290 lbs., Kaleb Wesson. In fact the brothers' father is Keith Wesson - a former Buckeye himself in the mid-1980s.

Andre's prospects were boosted by a stellar senior year as part of the Westerville South team that won the Division 1 State championship with a 26-4 season. He was honored with being voted player of the year in the Ohio Capital Conference after a game average of 17.5 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.0 assists.

In reference to making his final decision, Wesson stated that he felt a good fit and trust with the coaching staff and players of his new team. As a guy with the will to win, no matter what it takes, potential playing time was also crucial.

After discussing his options with his parents, he finally decided on Ohio State and informed the ecstatic Matta.

Andre's decision was surely inspired by his attending several OSU games where he encountered the awesome atmosphere and developed a love for the style of coaching employed.

As the last and 14th South athlete to sign college forms, Andre is now feeling almost as good as he did when he won the state championship!
