If that's true, Bell is even more of an idiot then I thought. But he was going to redshirt at LSU, so he wasn't going to get game PT anyway.

Redshirt yes, but he would atleast practice with the team. Bell will be behind the 3 other receivers Bama signed this year. Way to run from comp and get burned.

National LOI arrives by Fax. Saban call Bell....

"So, how's it feel to be a member of the Tide?"

"It feels great, coach."

"That good. Hey, uh, about that scholarship. We're running a little low and I need you to greyshirt for me this year."

"What the frick? You're kidding?"

"Aight, listen Kenny, this is what you wanted, right? I mean, your LOI is in and recorded, so its not like you can turn around and go to another school now without all the transfer hassle."

"This is bullshite!"

"Look Kenny. We'll work this out."

"I could have gone to LSU, motherfricker."

"Listen, Kenny. Your arse is mine, aight? We'll work this out. If not, then you'll find yourself buried in the roster at Jackson State or Grambling, a'ight?"

"Alright coach. My mom is gonna' be pissed."

"Don't worry about your momma. We have ways here to smooth out those ruffled feathers. Does she like the name Benjamin? Like, Lotsabenjamins? She'll be fine. Who can you trust if you can't trust me, aight?"

He's signed 59 in 2 years. Someone's getting fricked one way or another.

I would be shocked if that were the case. There is no way that the guy switches from a full ride at LSU for a grey shirt at Alabama.
It would make more sense if he was offered a grey shirt here but from all indications, that wasn't the case.

Either way - wish him well but he is now tigerbait!
