Vonn Bell has a final three of TN (his boyhood team), Ohio State, and Alabama. He is a remarkable talent at CB/Safety. Does Alabama have room for him?
There's only one good thing to do in Columbus and that's leave Columbus. I expect this is a Bama/Tennessee battle."He was trying to catch a redeye at 2:00 AM out of Nashvillr to get up to Columbus." Facts are going to ruin that story...
really? I think theres a pretty well respected college football program up there, with a pretty high profile coach...There's only one good thing to do in Columbus and that's leave Columbus. I expect this is a Bama/Tennessee battle.
My comment was more about the perception. There's no doubt that Ohio St. has a top-tier program and a very capable coach. However, this isn't Florida that Meyer is recruiting him to... that makes a big difference in my opinion (especially with a young man from the South). Does anyone know the reason for his interest there? Is it solely because of Meyer?really? I think theres a pretty well respected college football program up there, with a pretty high profile coach...
Love him or hate him, I'll never bet against Urban Meyer being able to recruit....
Not sure of how he feel about leaving the southern area, that would be a big driver in him choosing Ten or Bama
Three schools are still in the running for ESPN 150 defensive back Vonn Bell (Ooltewah, Tenn./Ridgeland), and according to Ridgeland head coach Mark Mariakas, each program will have a chance to host the 6-foot, 190-pound safety next month following the Under Armour All-America Game.
"He's taking visits to all three schools in January," Mariakas said. "Ohio State on Jan. 11, Alabama on Jan. 18, and Tennessee on Jan. 25. That is the plan as of this afternoon."
Ugh... if that holds true, you might get the dreaded late-verbal-commitment-that-obviously-doesn't-mean-anything-because-he's-still-taking-official-visits melodrama going here. Never what you hope to see.Snippet from a premium article on ESPN....this is the "free" part you can read
Feel great about it. No worries. The only school that can legitimately steal him at this point is UT.So yeah... Had he committed right away, Alabama would have won out... Now, though, he wants to meet the new staff at UT....and even worse, wants one more visit to tOSU. Not feeling too good about this one anymore...
