"My trip was a lot fun," Wood said. "I just got a good feel for the players and what they are all about.
"I was obviously tempted to commit, but I want to take other visits before I make up my mind," Wood said. "My next visit will be to Arizona State on September 29th.
"I' will probably visit Colorado when they play Baylor (October 7th). I am also interested in North Carolina State, Wake Forest and Washington."
"I will probably make my decision after I take my visits," Wood said. "I'm planning on taking all five."
"I could end up making my decision late in the season."
