Jordan Bell

This is the PF from California, the kid who has said he would commit if we offered. Well...

I've had a few questions come my way regarding Jordan Bell. All schools in his final 4 HAVE offered. UConn, Kansas State, Oregon and Auburn.

Notice UConn listed first.

I think Rico's question, is one that crossed my mind too. If you make that comment & have an offer- why do you even need a list. Pull the trigger, young fella. Or is the (offer) one of those, wait til we tell you to commit deals, pending other priorities.

When did Bell make the statement that he would commit if we offered? Not doubting it, just curious on the timing (i.e., before or after JC retired?).

August 3rd, before Coach Calhoun retired.

Interesting point-

I doubt the staff wants to take 3 power forwards in this class. I'm guessing they like Bell, but obviously not as much as they like Vonleh. Don't want to take Bell unless they're sure they have no shot at Vonleh....but also don't want to insult Bell and make him feel unwanted.

Hmm. I like 3-4 year players over 1-and-done's. I like Bell and Facey, but Vonleh is too good too pass up. How many scholarships we have left? If we have 5 (if Boat leaves or another) I say we go after both PF's and try and snag Brandon Austin.

This team 2013-14 could be a FF contender with a key addition. Hopefully that can be articulated to someone like Vonleh to get his attention.

PF's, C's if they are all decent size and good athletes they can play at the same time. Playing PF's at C is typical these days although we are not used to it as of late. When it comes down to it neither Andre or Ao were true C's at all and easily could have co-existed if they worked at it..........Facey, Vonleh and Bell at the same time some day? Why not.......at least 2 of them..........

Having said that I would like a true C on the radar for next year but not for the sake of losing a real good athlete......maybe 2014

Hell, Facey, Vonleh, Bell could be our starting front line.
