13' GA S Vonn Bell (Ohio State signee)

[hep]

Vol20202020 told me Vonn wasn't gonna be a Vol, so that's that.

95% sure that if they were playing call of duty, they were playing zombies.

Go back and read my original post. I said nothing negative, just reported what they said. Now in my opinion I definitely think this in not a good sign and said so after my original post after I had a chance to think about it some more but again I originally just posted exactly what they said on the radio. I don't think that's very hard to understand.

The coaches were hanging out with the Bell family, just chillin', talking a little football to mom, playing video games...ya know, getting to know each other like folks do. That way when they come up this weekend for a 3 day stay at UT, they already have a nice feel for one another. Seems pretty positive to me. I don't think that's very hard to understand.

If a coach came into my house and played CoD with me, I'd like him a lot more than before we started. Of course, If a coach came in and made a Lord of the Rings reference, I'd commit in the spot

I'm 48 and play video games. Why? Because they are fun.

These kids are smart enough to know that once they are on a team and in practice....the fun and games will be all over then. It will be time to get down to business. Can pretty much guarantee the coaches won't be offering to play video games with them later on. Take advantage of it while you can.

I guarantee you a good amount of CFB players play video games at least once a week.

I saw your original post. You are right. You didn't. You have in every post since then, to include this one, even though others have tried to explain why it isn't necessarily negative. Really not trying to dog you man, just saying, you are looking at it differently than some of the others (myself included) are.

You may be the one that's right.....so may we.

You sir, need a Valium. He did not say he tried to play with him. He said he played with him. And maybe the visit was scheduled to get to know his parents. Just a thought. But Saturday is Vonn Bell day at The University of Tennessee. :hi::hi:

I didn't say he tried to play with him I said he was probably trying to connect with him by playing with him. Do you think they went on the visit to play a damn video game the whole time? Or were they there to talk to Vonn and his family and try and sell UT?

 

[AF_VOL]

I do...it would explain why a lot of things slipped through the cracks. Such as recruiting, game planning, etc. If you think about it, him jumping on an XBOX at halftime would explain the lack of adjustments that seemed to never be made.

:loco:

My first guess would have been weed.

At least. Probably several times.

You may very well be right (and I hope u are) that's just not the way it came across to me.

Well I definitely hope you guys are right as Vonn is my favorite prospect in this class he is a game changer (no pun intended). I was just kind of shocked when they said that on 104.5 as they didn't see it as a possitive thing either. Hopefully I just took it the wrong way.

It's probably something taken completely out of context. I would imagine if Bell completely blew off the entire defensive staff, there would already be rumors of some changes in the upcoming Von Bell Day.

You may not have taken it wrong....who knows right now. I'd take it with a grain of salt, for now at least. It did come from 104.5.

Vonn's a Safety?

"You.. Shall.. Not.. Pass!!"

 

[Volinnooga]

Here are my thoughts on it.

1.) He is either very shy, and didn't feel comfortable opening up with all the defensive coaches there.

2.) He already knows where he is going and doesn't give a flying *****.

There's a third option:

3.) its just another wild rumor.

It's not a rumor though. The words came straight from Vonn. He's the one that said he was sitting around playing call of duty most of the time.

 

[Volinnooga]

his wife is a short troll.

Well we definitely know it's not a rumor as there is an article in which Vonn talks about it himself. I may be wrong and it may not be a bad thing tho. Who knows at this point.

It was suggested that he played video games and ignored the coaches. That isn't at all what the quote says.

 

[Dr Dread]

So you think that the fact that he was not involved in the coaches conversation with the family during their only in home visit is a possitive thing just because one of the coaches probably tried to connect with him or get his attention by playing with him? You would rather him sit and play Xbox then actually being involved in the visit and talking with the coaches? How in the would can you say that it is a very possitive thing that he couldn't put down the controller for a couple hours to talk with the coaches after they came to visit him at his house. He had more interest in playing a freaking video game than getting to know our coaching staff, figuring out what kind of defense they will run, and how they see him fitting into it. Not only does that sound disrespectful to me but it sounds like a recruit who is not interested in what our coaching staff has to say. I don't know how in the hell you have convinced yourself of anything else.

How in the world can you say you're not trying to put a negative spin on it? If you read his quote, he talks about how the coaches talked about everything BUT football, and how impressive they were in showing a family environment. He also stated how important that type of environment was to him and his mom. To say that didn't have time to talk football is to ignore the fact that nobody was TALKING football.

 

[pierce60]

Or were they there to talk to Vonn and his family and try and sell UT?

Is there any evidence that this did not happen? You may have addressed that at some other point in this craziness, but I didn't care to look.

Also, your first mistake (as someone already mentioned earlier) is listening to Paul Kuharsky about anything related to college football, especially recruiting news. He might know some NFL stuff, but he knows very, very, very little about college football recruiting.

Chill pills need to be passed out up in this thread.

Ive already addresses this but I'll say it again. Don't get me wrong I definitely don't think it's a possitive thing. As I said, I could very well be wrong and hope that I am. But in my original post I did not put any sort of spin on it, just posted exactly what they said on 104.5. I later went on to give my opinion of why I thought it was not a good thing but my original post was nothing but passing along information. Again, I'm not sure what's hard to understand about that.
