Five-star Bell talks Tennessee trip

  • Hearing rumors that Bell notified someone within the UT orginazation that he's commiting and is going to be a Vol! Hope it's legit! GBO!

  • Bell committing would be a huge momentum swinger. On the other side, we need North to commit. Any word with him. After his NC visit, I haven't heard anything.
    Vols!!

  • MegaVol7, I just read a similar post 'by a reliable post on VolNation (via FB) that "Vonn Bell will be a Vol. The coaches were informed tonight"!! REALLY hope this is true!! Whether it was a love of UT, CBJ, the staff, facilities ... or a 'snub from AL - either way, IF this is true... this is GR8 NEWS for the Big Orange!! I'm VERY impressed by the effort, representation, energy and passion that this coach and his staff have exhibited on the recruiting trail in SUCH a short time!!

    I also expect that they will be well conditioned, trained, coached, prepared, disciplined and passionate on the field, between the checkerboards; in life; as students; and as young men with character in the community. We'll see. I'm SO excited (AGAIN!!!) about UT football and our future! GOVOLS!!!!

    North committing along with Ryan Jenkins' flip from Clemson. Can you say Wide Receiver U once again? We used to dominate in recruiting in the very area that North is from.

    After the Derrick Green let down, im hesitant about getting my hopes up, but dang it all, after reading that article it certainly seems like we are in the drivers seat with him..He's a huge vol fan, he has friends here, its a family atmosphere, he plays a position of need for us....i mean, what am i missing? If he is coming, i would love to see him announce ASAP to get the momentum rolling for us on other recruits..

    You can tell he wants to be a Vol deep down! Good luck to him...

    Yeah, he's got 35 posts in 7 months

    So, he has spoken with every poster on the Vandy website. His post must be a general consensus.

    BUTCH IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART. GO VOLS!

    That's the thing, though: I don't think Alabama's coaches see Jackson as a "diamond in the rough" or a guy that they would be taking a chance on. They just see him as a really good player — a five-star type of talent — who has all kinds of potential based on his one year of high-school football. And, again, Jackson isn't a three-star prospect on our site. He's a Top247 prospect, now ranked No. 157 nationally and the No. 5 athlete in the 2013 class by 247Sports.

    OK, I'll trust you on this. If this is all true, sounds like this will work out for both schools. I hope he picks us over OSU.

    Well I hope you are right. And if you are, then what is he waiting for? The silence is deafening.
