    It's all about supply and demand, TB3.

    The way it's always been.

    Right now, LSU is in the driver's seat and can call the shots in a lot of cases.

    Bhelm makes great points about the you shop, we shop. It's fair.

    :geaux::crystal::helmet: Agreed. It's just protecting an interest. Simply put, if a prospect is wanting to still take visits after comitting, they may not come. If that's a possibility, you have to take steps to cover your interest in case they do go elsewhere. I'm sure LSU is doing that, although they are still recruiting WR's even if Bell doesn't go anywhere. If Bell is still going to take visits knowing CLM's policy, I hope he isn't operating under the illusion that his spot is anchored in stone. I don't think it would be and hope it wouldn't be. If he was told up front, "don't commit until you're sure and be prepared to not take anymore visits", he shouldn't be surprised if LSU "shops around" for a replacement. He's not indispincible to this class. I would love to see him a part of this class, but he is treading on shaky ground if he is scheduling officials at this late date. :geauxtige:champs:

    This was emailed to me this morning. This will be testing Miles no visit policy big time.

    Well, if Troy was his first and only game, it does not bode well that we fell behind by 28 pts and 2/3 of the fans left! That is not the Tiger Stadium experience we all know. AUB-ALA atmosphere will be electric, by comparison.

    Don't know why he said the Troy game was his 1st game maybe he meant night game because he was here for the LSU/Bama game.:huh:

    Kenny Bell was never pressured into anything. He set his own Commit timeline & his own date. Take note new commit ATL - Morris Claiborne, has just been graded out on ESPN as a better overall prospect than Kenny Bell. I know a lot of people say Claiborne will be a DB & the recruting services seem to be running with that. Guess we'll see.

    Here's the longer Gump version link:

    http://crimsonconfidential.com/news/story.php?article=223

    Bell said he’s visited both Alabama and LSU about four times each and also attended the Tide’s Independence Bowl win over Colorado last season.


    “I feel like I could have run a faster time, but I had bad technique because I hadn’t run it since my sophomore season,” Bell said. “But the coaches said they liked my time.”

    Bell, who’s being recruited to Alabama by assistant coach Bo Davis, said the Tide coaches talked to him about how he might be utilized in the Tide’s offense.

    “They were all right,” Bell said of the Bama coaching staff, “but I don’t feel like I bonded as well with them as I did the LSU staff.”

    Just like Perple posted KB's comment:
    Seems like a little Luther Davis in him I wonder how coaches are taking this.
    Question I have now is his spot/scholie open..maybe a Marlon Brown,Patrick Patterson or for another position,Best Player Available or even a sleeper player like Brandon Mitchell who I thought would've got a offer before Claiborne.
