it was a real good visit, bell said. coach jones and everyone up here were great. Going to the basketball game and seeing all that was a great experience.
tennessee helped themselves with this visit. They really showed a lot to me and my family. This staff showed me a lot and i am going to talk to my coach about that when i get home and see how things go.
and not only is bell atop the coaches wish list at tennessee, he also has orange & white diehards salivating on what could be, which was evident as fans chanted his name inside of thompson-boling arena saturday night when the ridgeland (ga.) high school prospect was in attendance for the vols 54-53 win over alabama.
it was a really good experience at the basketball game, he said. i really didnt expect anything like that, but the fans here are excited about this tennessee program because it is coming back.
it was really good to meet all these guys, said bell. it was my first time really meeting coach jones. He came down to my house this past week and we met, but it was good to get up here and start to build a relationship.
not only was bell impressed with jones supporting staff, but bells parents, who accompanied him on the visit, enjoyed the new atmosphere on rocky top as well.
they are really excited and they were really impressed by coach jones and everything they are doing here, bell said. they really liked the family atmosphere. They were really excited.
