I think we need a BELLcentric rock this weekend...

Playing off of either "Saved by the Bell" or "For whom the BELL tolls"

Who's feeling me?

Yes, but if we're going to get back to the top, we really need to move on from this moral victory phase of the last few years...

There is elite talent looking at us right now that wasn't previously. That's a good sign. I totally agree with you though, it's time to land some of these impact players, being a finalist for their pledge isn't going to win us any games.

So what is the general feeling on Bell?

Bammer: 50%
tOSU: 20%
UT: 30% ????????????????????

What do you think? I beleive we have passed up tOSU but that is just my gut. I am no recruiting guru.

He said there isn't a leader right now, it's an even race. Assuming he's being honest, you have to like UT's chances. Having the last visit and all.

I think we have a very solid shot. I've also always felt assigning percentages to schools is silly. It's a really weird way of doing it imo

That last visit aspect is huge imo. My brother went to central with Bell and talks to him sometimes. He doesn't want to bug him and come right out and ask. Von's cousing is good friends with my brother but doesn't seem to know anymore than we all know. If I do hear any news this thread will be the first place I show up.

I don't think he is being truthful when he is saying there isn't a leader. The Big Orange is out in front in this one!!!

I say right now:

Bama- 45%
Tennessee- 40%
tOSU- 5%

Vonn Bell Day should help :)

I'd have to say Alabama is leading if anyone is. The in-home visit has closed the gap and having the last visit may lock it up for us.

We can only hope.

Been hearing for weeks now that this is jones' to lose. Love where we are here!

I think we can effectively eliminate the notion that he isn't trying his hardest to land him. So if what you say is true, the final visit may just be a formality.

Agree here. Landing Bell, flipping Lawson and keeping Carr. That's my trifecta.

Add North and Green and We'll all be dancing to Rockytop. The fact that we are so closely in this with all these players boggles the mind.

So the visit this weekend isn't just a show of respect?

What did the whole staff being at this house do....convince him he was really wanted? Or be sure every aspect was covered when explaining to him how they are going to take Tennessee back where we belong? Both?

Bell is a self-admitted life long Vol fan. I'd say feeling wanted by the staff is something he wants, just like every other recruit. Dooley failed epically here. Jones seems hell bent on not letting effort be the reason he fails.

As far as the pitch, I'm sure they threw the book at him and his family. Late in the game with ground to make up, you gotta pull out all of the stops.

Both, Vonn needs to know he is key to the restoration of a dominant Tennessee defense!

per TFP:

Bell quote - “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.
