TE might end things soon

Alexandria (Va.) Mount Vernon tight end Justin Bell has scheduled his first three visits and could end the process this weekend if he likes what he sees.

"I go to Pitt this weekend (Dec. 13) and then I have Maryland on Jan. 3 and Virginia on Jan. 17," said the 6-foot-3, 250-pounder. "Virginia Tech isn't recruiting me anymore. They got a tight end recently."

Bell is also interested in Tennessee although the Vols haven't been in touch lately. The only school among his favorites to offer is Pitt.

"Maryland said they need linemen and they aren't sure if they'll take another tight end this year," he said. "They want me to visit because they said they're interested and should know more by the time I take a trip there. Virginia hasn't offered yet, but they said the coach doesn't offer until he gets to meet me. I've never been there so they haven't seen me in person."

So will he commit to Pitt this weekend?

"I'm not sure," he said. "I really want to take my Maryland visit at least, but if I like Pitt enough then I might."
