*** DE / LB Christian Bell Commits to Alabama ***

He's rated as a WDE, but some say Bama recruited him at SAM LB.
I've seen him up close in person. He is built more like an OLB than a DE. He is like an Adrian Hubbard.

This kid is looking good against those big Miami Cental lineman in this game. He's going to be a good one.

Bell had a solid showing in his 1st game against good competition. Glad to have on him on board. If he continues this upward trend, look for him to earn his 4 * star.

I'm assuming he's just keeping his officials? May be wrong though.

What are the odds Bell is allowed to enroll in June now Taylor is gone?

From al.com

Bell -- who was an AL.com Super Senior this year -- wasn't able to sign with Alabama back in February because of academics but he plans to either enroll this summer once his grades in his core classes are finalized or he will wait until January to enroll with next year's signing class.

His status currently fits in as a commitment for the Class of 2016 under the familiar "grayshirt" label. Bell told AL.com he expects to graduate from Hoover with a 2.4 GPA in his core courses and an 18 on his ACT. There is a chance he could enroll in Alabama over the summer if the scholarship numbers allow for a spot, but that is not the likely scenario.

"I am 100 percent sure I am going to Alabama," Bell said. "Coach Saban sent a letter with his signature on it saying that I would be able to enroll in January. So that is a for sure thing, there. I was never really worried about it, but I know there is nothing to worry about it now with that letter."

Bell said he plans to "stay busy" during the summer and fall before he reports to Alabama in January. He said he will be working with a trainer before he reports to Alabama.

Bell tells Scout.com he signed with Alabama this morning. Also told Scout's John Garcia he's weight 240 now.

Saw him a couple of weeks ago. He's every bit of 240 but wouldn't be able to tell it because of his frame.

I like this guy. He was a four star player and certainly didn't have to accept a grey shirt but apparently knew what he wanted and listened to the coaches and I expect it will pay off down the road.
