He probably got hit in the head with a padlock. Oh, never mind, thats his special move.

In an article a week or so ago, when he mentioned that he was 60% LSU, he said he hadn't heard from LSU in a while (said the same about Bama fwiw).

It's pretty evident that he wasn't a top priority for this class.

We have 2 slot guys who redshirted last year in J. Taylor (who according to players on our D is gonna be a beast) and Chris Toliver. I'm not too concerned.

im sure it isn't the only reason, but it appeared that randle and a few other wide recievers were going to sign with us in this class, not to mention the former number 1 wr, tolliver and lafell were still on the roster, and it seemed like bell wouldn't have a chance to shine for a few years. thats what i think happened and it prolly was the smarter move as far as that goes.

His momma...my babysitters son was in on Saban and Miles's last meetings and he told me a week ago that Bell's momma had made a connection with Satan. True shite. I emailed DD and told him what I knew and he told me I was wrong....I guess not.

If Bell was worried about competition he screwed himself because LSU only signed 1 reciever where Bama signed 4.

K bell really didnt impress me that much - would have a tough time being more than a 3rd or 4th option at LSU.

When Loston introduces himself at the next game he'll know what time it is.

It was a depth chart issue.

He is a 18year kid that went where he wanted to. I rather concentrate on our class.

Heard they were hoping he would decommit, but think that was before the Benton situation.

For a team that has had great success without superstars, Mr. E. Randle sure has set his son up for a much tougher road.

I think Sabian pulled a Meyer. Before he commited to LSU Bell visited Tosalooser. He commited to the gumps but Sabian told him to keep it hush and commit to LSU so RR wouldn't think that there was too much competition, get RR and then switch to Bamma. Just a theory, With dirty recruiting these days who knows. But if it were the jokes on them.

Poor kid got used and abused and will prolly never even play at Bama.

It's pretty funny, except for Kenny and his family.

Depth chart working against him.

Lafell + Tolliver + Mitchells + RJJ + RR + Shep playing some H-back, and not even including kids like DPeterson, JTaylor, etc. means Bell wouldn't see the field next year, if ever.

Besides, he gets to go carry Julio's jock around for 3 years over at Bammer.
