It sounds like Bell is an ELITE defender. Killer shotblocker, but needs to work on his offensive game. I wonder if he's going to be a Luc Mbah-a-Moute type, which I would certainly love to have.
Recruit Scoop:
Jordan Bell lists USC, UCLA, Arizona, AZ St, Oregon, LSU, V-Tech, Cal, ND, Washington, Florida St, Marquette, Alabama, Oklahoma & Colorado
ESPN ranks him 51st in the 2013 class now
is he similar to Wesley Gordon?
Love great defensive players. We will see how next year shapes up, but I would prefer to find a good offensive player.

The secret behind Bell’s blocks
Jordan Bell (Long Beach, Calif./Poly) is listed at 6-foot-8 and he truly believes he’s that tall. If he’s 6-8, then our system of measuring height needs an update. Bell’s every bit of 6-6 and one of the best shot-blockers in the country. Seriously. Bell has fantastic reflexes and instincts as a shot-blocker, though his approach is nontraditional. At 6-6, he’s far from intimidating, which he uses to his advantage. Bell waits in the bushes, then explodes for rejections. If he were 6-8, he’d be more intimidating but maybe less effective.
