-Rivals."I've really enjoyed seeing each school," he said. "Alabama has a great staff and I had a good time there. They are coming off a national championship and are a top program. I've also seen Tennessee, and they are in rebuilding mode and trying to be a program on the rise. Auburn is another place that is real cool. Coach Gene Chizik is a good guy and I had a good time there too."
Umm pretty sure Vonn Bell has been a Vol fan since he was like 6 or 7, so pretty much most of his known life he has been a fan of the Vols??
Yeah, but that doesn't mean he's dreamed of playing for Tennessee. Maybe he has. I'm just saying being a fan growing up doesn't mean that's all you think of. Saban calls you at your school...that's gonna mean something. And it's gonna give you more to think about.
Not me
I would be more like Austin sanders and tell saban and anyone else thanks but no thanks. I'm all vol
But I know everyone is not the same.
Everybody isn't Sanders. Like I've said all along I would love to play for UT but if I were a big time safety I would want to know how I would be used. If UT isn't playing the style of defense I want to play then I wouldn't go there.
Yeah alright. You would commit to a set of Defensive coaches who haven't even coached a spring practice session. I would be waiting just like Bell to at the very least see some of the product I'm buying.
Like I said everybody is not the same.
Just saying how I would be. At least in my mind. If I was in his position I might feel different. But not towards bama.
But was responding to VG's statement that if saban calls you would listen. Not necessarily. Just like sanders I am die hard all-vol. and been going to games since i was a little guy and there is no way I would end up at bama. A la sanders
But maybe bell is different. Doesn't make him a bad person
He may be alright with watching the O&W game. We'll see I think our fans are a bit too impatient. Even though his crew did bring some of this on with the nonsense.
As a die hard Vol fan myself and UT Alum, I would have to disagree on not listening to Saban. I would highly doubt I would ever go to Bama but right now Saban is the man on top of college football. You have to take that phone call and listen to what he has to say. For a 17/18 yr old football star, having Saban "showing you love" is one of the largest compliments you can receive. Saban can get just about any defensive player he wants (especially DBs) and he is interested in Bell. There is two ways I see this A) Bell is a huge pickup if we get him and B) Bama will scare me til signing day...
BB, I just said the same thing in the Donnie Miles, Jr. thread about hopefully VB giving us his commitment after the O&W game. I hope that he will see enough about what his role will be in Sal's defense that it satisfies him, and he commits so that he can start recruiting for us. A 5 star recruit can help convince a lot of other studs to come jump on the UT train.
To each his own.
Not saying I wouldn't speak to saban at least once to say i did but would say thanks but no thanks. I personally wouldn't go to bama.
And as far as DBs and saban he doesn't get anybody he wants. Deon bush for just one example. And bama has a current 2013 commit Artie burns that doesn't even list bama in his top two (remind you of anyone for us? Ha)
Anyways again how bell wants to handle it is his business. And obviously there are differing opinions from vol fans. Which is fine. It's a message board. But I know I can't be the only one that would commit to UT regardless of the coaching staff.
Enough arguing in circles and clouding up his thread.
We all want bell in orange no matter when he pulls the trigger. And I think we all hope sooner rather than later.
GBO!
Yeah I wouldn't answer that one either. But I do want Vonn Bell in Orange and I've got a feeling it'll be sooner rather than later in the process.
