paurfunkel 0 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Yeah, article on Rivals says he has a lot of interest in Auburn, connected well with coach Martinez over the phone and spoke with Vangorder briefly as well. He loves Cam Newton and people tell him they look and smile alike, it was a very good sounding article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunInRed 16,409 Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 Big time Safety picked up AU offer today per @KeithRIVALS.. Vonn Bell, S Rossville, GA 6'1 / 190 / 4.4 Offers: Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Georgia, Maryland, Oklahoma State, Ole Miss, Tennessee, UCLA and Vanderbilt, among others. The 6-foot-1, 190-pound Bell had 119 tackles, intercepted five passes, caused three fumbles and returned three of his five fumble recoveries for touchdowns in the 2011 season. He also had 31 catches for 487 yards and six other TDs. During offseason workouts, Mariakis said Bell was timed in 4.4 seconds in the 40-yard dash. ... "He's just that talented that he could make an impact on either side of the ball," said Mariakis, who has former players currently on the rosters at Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina and Oklahoma State. "He's the best we've ever had here. The things that separate him are his speed to the ball, his ability to lay a lick when he gets that and his knack for making the sure tackle. Tackling is almost a lost art because so many guys try to just knock people down, but Vonn locks up and drives them backward. He finishes the play, and he's also very dangerous with the ball in his hands. "He's a quality kid as far as his character and has that inner drive to want to be better on the field and off." http://timesfreepress.com/news/2012/feb/02/saban-calls-bell-with-alabama-offer/ Recruiting Profiles: 247Sports ESPN Rivals Scout Notes: - Vonn Bell was invited to play in the Under Armour All-American Game and has accepted. <iframe width="600" height="400" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/w7SbwTUHGdU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="600" height="400" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/N4G5YpbZgd0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pologuy24 0 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Kid is a beast... Watch at the 3:10 mark... A thick RB gets a full head of steam, hits Bell and knocks him back a couple yards, but recovers and slams the RB on his back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickeminthebuttbigblue 0 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 The way the rivals article sounds, he has major interest in us. I would not be surprised if he signs with AU. His numbers are ridiculous. 119 tackles, intercepted 5 passes, caused 3 fumbles and returned 3 of his 5 fumble recoveries for touchdowns in 2011. Bell was timed at a 4.4 in the 40.

kkolumbo 8 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 sounds like he's very interested and I couldn't be happier!! I've been wondering why in the world we hadn't offered this kid! He's a flat out beast and true safety. Easily top 5 at his position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trout54 55 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 If he's going to be at junior day, I would expect him to walk away with an offer. I'm ready to see some CBVG and CWM headhunters in our defensive backfield! (oh yeah, and some turning of the heads to see the ball, interceptions, and wrapping up at the point of contact.......................that's all, i don't expect much ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave69 1 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 This kid definitly has a nose for the football, whether its in the air, on the ground, or in someone elses hands. This is a most sought-after quality. War Eagle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunInRed 16,409 Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 If there's a better safety in the nation than Georgia's Vonn Bell, I want to see him. Kid's a stud.@JHokanson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
