That's an opinion, the previous was an unsubstantiated statement.

ok....not going to waste anymore time arguing on an internet forum. Hope the guy comes to OSU but it's my personal opinion based on what I've seen and heard that he will end up at Alabama. And no I do not consider myself some sort of recruiting guru wannabe. You can move on to the next guy to bash for having an opinion. Next time to please the GODS I'll include IMO. SMH.

I used common sense and deductive reasoning to come to the conclusion that his original post was an opinion. I tend to agree with him. I just haven't seen or heard anything that is otherwise indicative. Good luck to the kid wherever he goes, even if it is to play for Satan down in 'Bama. I will continue to hold out a glimmer of hope based on Urb's recruiting prowess, the allure of tOSU program and the direction the program is heading, but if I were a betting man.....

Knowing there is a lot of ground to make up in a short amount of time, new University of Tennessee football coach Butch Jones found an unusual way to make a big impression on Ridgeland High School?s All-America safety Vonn Bell.

On the day of his only in-home visit, Jones brought his entire defensive staff to meet with Bell and his family Monday.

?It was a great visit with all the defensive staff and Coach Jones when they all came to my house,? Bell said in a text late Monday night. ?Coach Jones approached everything very good with my parents and me, and we?re just fired up about the visit this weekend.?

On the day that Rivals.com officially elevated Bell to a five-star rating, its highest level for a prospect, the Vols contingent met with him and his parents for nearly four hours.

Since Rivals began its five-star rating system in 2002, Bell is only the third area player to earn the top rank, joining former Red Bank and UT running back Gerald Riggs (2002) and former Calhoun and UT receiver Da?Rick Rogers (2010). Bell is rated the 32nd overall prospect in the nation, the third-highest ranking ever for an area player.

?The way he performed in the UnderArmour All-American game really showed how versatile he is,? Ridgeland coach Mark Mariakis said. ?He showed that he can play either safety position or even be a one-on-one shut-down cornerback, and that just made his stock rise even more.

?He was pleasantly surprised when all five assistants showed up with Coach Jones. He said he was impressed with how Coach Jones shared his philosophy of what he?s bringing to the program and the changes he will be making for the future. He is selling the Bells on the environment they?re trying to create and how Vonn can help move things in a positive direction.?

Bell will take his official visit to UT this weekend and will talk with his family and coaches early next week to begin deciding among UT, Alabama and Ohio State. He will announce his choice on national signing day, Feb. 6, at a news conference in the Ridgeland gym. That decision will be broadcast live on ESPNU at 10 a.m.

Bell will visit the Knoxville campus this weekend with his family. He already has visited Ohio State and Alabama and had an in-home visit from Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban last Monday. Coaches are allowed only one in-home visit, and Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer used his one-on-one day when Ridgeland played in Georgia?s Class AAAA state final, spending time with Bell in the locker room before and after the game and sitting in the stands with his family during the game.
