Sounds like it's an OSU/MICH race. OSU just offered today, Michigan has yet to offer.

Witflong had this to say today about Bell in an article he posted on the 247.

I flipped to Michigan a couple weeks ago because I thought they were going to offer. The Wolverines may still be tough to beat if they offer but OSU is in the driver's seat right now.

Visiting Saturday for Stanford. #1 player in Indiana in the Class of '19. Plays at Sheldon Day's HS. #1 team in Indiana now and historically the state's greatest program. Read that OSU was his favorite team growing up.

Ben Davis High school would like a word about your “states greatest program”

Recent action has been for Purdue. I wonder if they are on him for basketball too?

For ND, I wrote him off. I was getting the strong, I'm not down w/ the homestate programs vibe that far too many elite Indiana athletes have.

The Purdue CB's were a welcome sight. I want ND's next HC to have enough weapons to guarantee he waxes Fleck's azz.

This one is going to be a flavor of the week recruitment. We don't fair well in those.

I mean, I'm shocked that Petrino is still there

He went through the ringer before he got back to that cesspool and got learned. When the hookers, staff member's wives & cash were being passed around he said, "Been there, done that, then headed over to Papa's house for a schiddy pizza.

Not the first time I called it. Brohm's the star PJ pretends to be.

The variable is, who moves on quicker... Kelly or Petrino?

Louisville is dumping Petrino ASAP in order to get Brohm... aka, their second ACC loss next year.

The question after that is if ND can hire Brohm away from his alma mater, or if Brohm will want to stay home and build a power.

I was told that the above is one reason they hired BVG... it was kind of a DGAF hire.

Nooooo, they must keep BVG through at least '19

If he gets back there, ND can't touch him.

Hopefully the Ville wins 10 games and beats an SEC team in a bowl.

Brohm's the best realistic coach in the market for me.

He's supposed to visit this weekend. Hopefully the staff can knock his socks off.

I'm a Warren alum. I'll start driving down 16th street daily and yell "Go Irish!" until he tires and commits to Our Lady.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...
