Yeah, Sapp says V. Bell liked the tradition and the academics, and really liked the people. "It all comes down to who you are going to be with" and apparently he liked the people he met.

Doesn't sound like he's coming here. From everything said in the interviews, the subtext is he's looking for an SEC style football program. Also didn't get to see us practice.......

I don't see us being a serious contender unless we win 10+ games and even then he'd be a very hard pull.

Even his quotes on II were blasé, "It was OK up there," he caught a glimpse of practice and saw that it was fast paced and up tempo but it was,"OK and not like a SEC practice" Sounds like he enjoyed meeting all the coaches and liked them a lot but I don't think by reading what he says that we "Wowwed" him.

What is an SEC practice like? How is it different than ours? Do they all bite the heads off of a bat or something?

The best wrestling team in my area when I was in high school used to get together before practice and smoke some bowls and then literally beat the crap out of each other in the room. Maybe that's the SEC's secret.

I'm fairly certain that's how TCU preps for practice.

When he said it wasnt like an SEC practice, it could be a good thing could it not. Is there a video that goes with the statement, because I dont know what tone he said it in...

At the end of the video he is asked some human interest stuff like favorite food, etc. When asked about what celeb he would take to the prom, he said Taylor Swift. Now if we can just get Taylor to show up, I think he's Irish. LOL

Vonn hasn't made very many tweets, but it looks like Jaylon Smith has been making an effort to try to connect with him and vice versa.

Is he?? I havent read he was an ND lean anywhere!;) My point is it will mean more if he committed, who knows, maybe Bell is tryen to sell him on going elsewhere (doubt it but maybe)

I know "Drew", the guy from Teardrops on my Guitar (As in "Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see.). Everyone who I've ever talked to from her high school really really disliked her. They said she was f****** nuts. When I asked if that was just like a jealousy thing, or if they wished they had become her friend in high school, they always just laughed and basically said there wasn't enough money in the world. I just always thought that was interesting and can't help but think about it when I hear her music on the radio.

In regards to his visits in general and specifically to ND, Vonn hasn't usually divulged to much information which simply leads to a little bit more speculation than normal. He hasn't said much about ND, but he hasn't said a lot about many of the other programs as well. He had been saying for some time that he wanted to cut his list down to 7 in the spring, it is now June and that still hasn't happened.

Here was his scheduled visits during his spring break
Apr 1 - Texas
Apr 2 - Ok St.
Apr 3 - Arkansas
Apr 4 - ND
Apr 5 - pOSU

Looking at the schedule of visits, I think we drew the short end of the stick in the sense that he had to drive probably 11 or 12 hours from Arkansas to ND and from what I can tell, he didn't arrive on campus until around noon. I'm guessing we had less face time then he had at the other schools. The main thing that came out of his visits was that he appeared to like his pOSU visit the most.

He is camping at pOSU this weekend but I'm guessing as long as Tennessee has a decent season, that he will end up a Volunteer. Hopefully Jaylon's commitment is enough to keep us in the running and hopefully get an official visit so that he has more time on campus.

He will be on a Chattanooga radio sports talk program with his coach at 5 pm tonight. Here is a link to the radio station's web site if anyone wants to listen this evening.
