OT: Jordan Bell

[tcf15]

Update on another 2013 recruit that the majority of the fan base was upset we didn't land:

Altman confirmed that Jordan Bell, a four-star recruit who committed to Oregon for the class of 2013, won't join the team this academic term. He declined giving specifics since Bell is still considered a "recruitable player."​

​

Someone who seems to be an insider on their 247 board says that there are SAT issues (still) and that it's most likely he will never play for Oregon. Might be looking for prep schools right now.

So it seems that XRM and Bell were both academic red flags that UConn backed off of at the last minute. I wonder if we'll end up seeing similar situations with the 2014 recruits that went elsewhere.

Since we're talking about freshmen who we recruited that won't suit up right away, anyone see that Providence has suspended Brandon Austin?

I've been waiting for someone to confirm this. I kept asking on the board but never got a response, thanks.
