Oregon, Auburn, and Uconn. Personally to me it souds like a race between Oregon and Uconn. He visited UO this weekend, and plans on visiting Uconn next.

Isn't UConn getting hit with a bunch of sanctions?

Oregon is his longtime favorite and he had a good visit. On the other hand, he did say a few months ago that if UConn offered, he'd commit. He's friends with Arik Armstead (former AAU teammate).

Don't think that Auburn is really in the conversation here.

I've seen Bell play in person and the guy is an amazing athlete and shot blocker. Still a bit raw offensively, but very talented.

Good to hear we've been the favorite. Did he say that about about UCONN before or after Calhoun retired? Might not make a difference to him but Calhoun IS uconn basketball so hopefully that will lessen the appeal of UC for him.

I see Bell as that important glue guy on a team that will do all of the little things really well, and be a top-notch defender. Hopefully he picks Oregon, but the UCONN threat is very real if they offer. Oregon leads, but that could certainly change if they offer...

Bell cancelled his trip to Uconn and is down to Oregon and Auburn. Visiting Auburn this weekend. Very good news for Oregon.

With this news, I'm very surprised that Bell eliminated UCONN. I really think Oregon ends up with Bell, and that is great to see.

Visited Auburn with his parents, he was blown away. Says they are tied, but on Rivals article he said.. "They are really both even. This decision is hard. When I got to Auburn I realized how hard it's going to be. I thought Oregon had all the new stuff, but Auburn has everything and it's just as good."

Getting Auburn vibes, but we'll see.

Apparently Bell's parents want Oregon, but I won't be shocked if he chooses Auburn. He said Tony Barbee (AU's coach) had a better resume than Altman, and that is pretty damn funny.
