'19 IN WR David Bell (Offer)

[NDCrusader]

He REALLY loves Brohm. I wouldnt count Purdue out even with the big boy offers.

Most coaches are trying to talk him into converting to DB, and he has no interest in that. Brohm has been square with him about being a WR from the get go.

You see him every day... Is he a full 6-2? I saw the Prime 25 pic of him standing next to 6-0 (listed) Bryce Kirtz and they looked identical in height.

[NDMIA]

That's not what is in the article. It says Del Alexander is going to visit him this week, at school, and try and peak his interest so he does come back for a visit. Seems like this is one last effort to get traction. If not, we're moving on. Right way to play this, IMO.

Yea didn't mean to cause confusion. I posted the article, not having any idea what was in it, hoping someone would have an idea like yourself, and then wrote a blurb of what I did hear which was that he is/was supposed to visit this coming weekend and that I hope he does. We'll see if any of that happens, but thanks for the clarification and sorry for the confusion.

[Luckylucci]

They are trying for a visit but he’s said he was going to before and never did. So we’ll have to see.

Im 6-2, and feel like hes close to that, but not there. MAYBE 6-1. Its no secret heights are embellished on programs and profiles.

However, it wouldnt shock me at all if he wasnt done growing. He looked like a little kid compared to now just a year ago.

Allen Trieu with a Purdue CB. Anywhere but That U in Ohio

[Edge]

Bell, Kiser, and Tracy play for Indy Select
I believe all three end up at Purdue with Karlaftis
Wouldn't surprise me to see another top recruit from Indiana flip and join a Boilers

Elston going to see Bell today. Second trip to his school this eval period (Del Alexander in later April). Staff seems to be really trying with him.

ND sends two different coaches to his school during eval period (max amount), try and get him on campus for an unofficial at some point, and now this article where there's not even a whisper of ND and he's going to visit Ohio State this weekend. Some kids just don't want to be at ND...

Would that be because of the website it's being posted on?

No question, but I think the list of Penn State, Michigan, Iowa, Purdue, Indiana, and Ohio State were not just made up by the article, but they probably asked him which schools are coming after you or something boilerplate like that and that's what you get.

Some of these are never meant to be from the beginning. Most kids know from the beginning that a commitment to ND, Stanford, Northwestern, etc. means you will be devoting a lot more time to academics than you would at some other schools and they don't want that. Even if their grades are acceptable, they may not want the rigors of an ND education. Not sure if that's the case here or he just thinks OSU gives him the best chance to win a natty.

247 shows an unofficial to ND on June 10 and another unofficial to OSU on June 15. Kind of glad we got the earlier date this time around.

Don't think it will matter. Proably visiting simply to have the experience.

[IrishSteelhead]

[NDMIA]

He’s a troll. To finally lock in a visit to ND and then two days before he pulls this stunt. And it’s not as if it’s the top 5 “right now”, but instead he calls it his final five. I actually hope he makes it to campus this weekend and goes to the coaching offices and finds them empty lol

[Irishnuke]

This kid belongs at OSU

[OhioIrish31]

Seems to prefer Big10. Purdue...LOL.

Don't be surprised if he ends up at Purdue. Brohm is getting some kids and given the improvement he made in one year without his recruits, I suspect they'll take another step forward this year.

This year should be an interesting one for Purdue. They should be 4-0 going into their first away game vs Nebraska. They have both Wiscy and OSU at home. Last year was a nice step for them, but it could have been even bigger. They hung well with Louisville and Wiscy, and should have beat Nebraska.

[IrishSteelhead]

I would put the odds at:

75% Purdue
25% OSU

*Everything Ive heard is Purdue all the way, but Im giving OSU 25% just because if they REALLY want him, they will find a way to get him.

[NDCrusader]

CB's swinging to PSU today. Wiltfong and Trieu included.

I'd be ok if Penn St was better than OSU in the near future.

Good. I have been rooting for Purdue.

[IrishLion]

In two years (or maybe even next year) they’re gonna have Bell-Moore-Wright on the field... that’s pretty good lol. That’s a video-game receiving group.

[SouthernIndianaNDFan]

Wow, good for Purdue. Brohm wouldn't be a bad hire in the post-Kelly era. Seems like he definitely gets it done on the recruiting trail, and at a school like Purdue that's impressive.

He missed quite of bit of practice with a hamstring injury, but yes, hes gonna tear it up sooner rather than later.

Would of been nice to see him in a ND uniform. Had a day today and would of been a great focus for us this season. 9 receptions, 122 yards, 1 TD.

[FightingIrishLover7]

Averaged per game this year...
104 Yards
1.3 TDS

Are we making a poaching list yet? If not, I'm adding him first.

One more year at PU and he gone! Barring injury, he'll opt for NFL after next season. But yeah, IF the Irish could get him for that one year, I'd be all in!

[irishandy]

I had Bell on my fantasy football team this year...he got me a lot of points. Too bad he didn't end up at ND.

[Irish2155]

Is there any smoke here? Can’t tell ...
