Tre Bell Transferring To UConn- Confirmed

[Drew]

noticed a while back that Tre Bell- current Vanderbilt CB was following a ton of UConn coaches and accounts on Twitter. Now Jamar Summers has tweeted that he's coming. Is there any actual news of this yet or is it still wishful thinking? Kid's Twitter account is @T_Bell4

 

[gampelcrazies]

Maybe. There have been rumors of it.

"However, there have been rumors that Tre Bell is transferring to UConn. If that happens the Commodores would be allowed to sign a 17th player, something that could pay off in this class."

If true, on paper, where would he stand on depth chart? Knowing he soul have to sit.

Think they have to wait until tomorrow (recruiting dead period ends after today) to announce anything.

There was quite a bit of discussion on the Football Recruiting Forum back mid-December on Bell. He's a Jersey kid who went to St Peter Prep and who's dad is the head coach @ East Orange High where T. Beals and O. Stephen's went. 21 FBS offers coming out of HS (including ND, UF, Michigan, Nebraska, and the usual East Coast suspects.

He's coming here. Just need to wait on the official word.

He already used up his rs and played two years so I assume that if he sits out next year, unless a waiver, he has only one year left to play.

The SBnation article, if I read it right, said he played as a true freshman in 2014 and last year was his sophomore year. That would give him 2 years after using his RS year to sit out.

Then again I could be wrong.

 

[Duncan Idaho]

Bio on the Vandy site had him rs as a frosh and playing the last two years.

Class of 2013: RS 2013, played 2014, played 2015. Would have 1 year left after sitting next year unless he gets some sort of waiver/grad transfer agreement.

...and so it goes. Wrong again...

That's odd... IIRC when you transfer to another FBS school you have to sit a year.. You don't lose a year because of it, only, in some conferences if you transfer from one school to another within the same conference... In this case, he's going from SEC to AAC... so he sits in '16 and plays '17 and '18...

Am I wrong?

 

[ktuck911]

BTW dead period ends today.. Tomorrow all will be revealed...

 

[ruthetiger]

He's already there.

 

[rich1122]

No way he transfers to play one year.

 

[Exit 4]

No way he transfers to play one year.

Shakim Philips did it for one year in his return to BC.

 

[Stainmaster]

Shakim Philips did it for one year in his return to BC.

Wasn't Phillips a grad transfer though? Playing a final year right away is different from sitting for a year then playing a year.

 

[ruthetiger]

He chose uconn

 

[ruthetiger]

As a matter of fact it was recommended.

He did not sit though. This kid has to sit.

I think you've got five years to play 4 and the clock starts when you enroll as a full time student regardless of how many years you've played. So if you enroll in 2010 and play two year and take two years off you've got one year left to play - unless you get a waiver. Been a while since looked at the rules, but it used to be that way, it may have changed.

The difference behind that was, Shakim Phillips, was a grad transfer mentioned previously in the thread.

 

[ktuck911]

His situation was different.. He transferred to UCONN and sat out a year then went back to BC as a GS transfer...

A good get for sure. Believe he has years of eligibility left after sitting out next season. Not an immediate impact on game day, but could be on the practice field which could benefit everyone.
