Has there been any talk on Isaiah Bell?

Submitted by Gocannon16 on

I know that he is only a RS FR and wasn't the highest rated player in the class, but with the lack of talent at LB why haven't I heard anything about Bell?  Did I just miss it?

I was just reading my Wolverine preview mag (again), saw his name, and wondered the same thing.  I've heard NOTHING about Bell.

He has put on at least 30 to 35 pounds.He has to ajust to that weight first,then he will get on the field.Yes he was a nice talent at safety,a ballhawing safety turned into a linebacker time to light up the big ten!!!

I am not sure what has been most impressive...his ability to hit (as indicated by ESPN), or the fact he gained so much weight(muscle weight I assume)

BTW as anyone seen a safety prospect come in and leave a lineman? Could thsi happen with Bell?

Other than the fact that he's huge, I haven't heard much. But I like his long term potential. Don't know what his ETA is for PT, but I'll be watching intently when it comes.

I think Isaiah Bell is going to contribute as the year goes on.  I think at the present time he is just working on getting better and more comfortable with his new position.  Not everyone can be a Mark Moundros and be mint right of the bat.  Bell has a lot of upside and he also loves to hit people.  Hopefully we get to see his progressions as the season goes on.

Honestly, there's been remarkably little information about any players out of fall camp.  Most of what's been posted has been speculation.  We don't even have much information about the quarterbacks.

I was wondering the same thing, but I figured he was seeing the field some but was still a work in progress.  If he can actually yutn all that additional weight into legitimate strength and speed improvements, he'll be a nice addition to the LB core next year.
