thanks Monk. It will come out soon enough in the media. 10 more players to cut or greyshirt.


This just sucks! these guys prob could have have the chance to contribute in another D1 school. I know Bell ultimately made the decision to sign but you have to wonder what kind of mind games Saban is playing w/ these greenhorns. Most of them prob don't know who to believe.

quit downing saban. Those kids see the roster and who is currently signed with the program before they make their decision. Kenny Bell had all year to make his decision. If you are good enough to see the field, you will see the field.

You need to blow Saban? Go to a Bama site.

I heard Saban asked him to grayshirt


this is impossible. Kenny Bell was supposed to be at least second string slot this year!! (....according to most posters on BOL )

+1

Not every coach pulls this shite. I know this was debated ad nausium in an earlier thread bout Nutt and Saban. I know when I was 17-18yo I would not have been able to tell if experienced adult was lying to me or not and I seriously doubt anybody on this board would have either. We don't know what kind of parental support Bell has... could suck like a lot of these kids!

Not downing Saban, actually giving him a compliment. He got the job done. Not too wise of a decision on Bell's side though.

I thought we knew about this back on signing day?


I agree, this was all over the board after signing day.

Saban's job is to run his football team to the best of his ability. Kenny Bell's job during the recruiting process was to make the best decision possible for himself. If he had no help, I feel for him, however it shouldn't be too hard to look at a depth chart.

At 17 years old I routinely discerned whether adults lied to me. Most others on here did so too.

If Nick Saban hung the bait in the water, and Kenny Bell was too stupid to see the hook and the line and bit, then shame on Kenny Bell for biting and getting caught.

You can't blame Saban for fishing. Kenny Bell could have made a good decision and stayed in the pond. Instead, he bolted.

Good riddance.

You guys are speculating way too much on this one.

This kid was not in the most enviable of positions. I'm fairly certain that the staff was indifferent on his choice and didn't show him near the attention as the process continued.

I hope things work out for him and you guys need to realize his situation has no similarity to some of the others that deserve a true bashing.

What does the depth chart have to do with this? Wasn't he fricked over by Bama getting more receivers on signing day than anticipated?

Well BOL did an update with Bell a couple of weeks ago and he didn't seem to be pissed about anything then. It is from May 5th and if you have a Rivals account you should be able to read it.

LINK

Bell states in the article that he graduates today, the 14th, and that he is moving to Tuscaloosa next week.

ULM is an upgrade over BAMA.

ULM beat BAMA.

FWIW this was reported on NSD last year so this isn't the 1st time this rumor has come up.

If not Kenny, Bama going to have to grey shirt some recruits. Just way to many kids at this point.

Kenny Bell should have stayed out of the cell phone stores and listened to his mommma and come to LSU.
