Bell earns Elite status
Sooner QB recruit Blake Bell, the Wichita standout, can add another level of accomplishment to his stud status.
Elite 11 quarterback.
Bell is among 12 quarterbacks picked to participate at the EA Sports Elite 11 camp.
As for the math, 12 QBs/Elite 11, it must require some newfangled calculator. Or the 11 stands for something beyond the number of players in the mix.
But the consensus is that Bell belongs.
Here’s the take of ESPN’s Tom Luginbill on Bell:
“Bell’s physical measurables (6-foot-5, 212 pounds) and upside are enormous. He did not have a great regional workout, but his tape does not lie. He’s been a starter at quarterback for only one season — he was an All-State wide receiver prior to that as a sophomore — but there are lots to work with here.”
Bell will be among some premier QBs at the camp, working alongside, among other touted signal callers, Nick Montana, Joe’s son.
The experience should be invaluable, not only as a checkpoint to measure himself with the nation’s best, but the instruction there is outstanding.

Bradford was with who?
Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford was hanging out with another former Sooner quarterback recently.
Not Jason White. Not Josh Heupel.
Not Paul Thompson and not Nate Hybl.
Bradford was recently seen at Bungalow, a rooftop lounge above Joyce Champagne Lounge in Dallas.
His companion there, according to the entertainment reporter Alan Peppard of The Dallas Morning News, was former Sooner quarterback Rhett Bomar.
One year after Bomar was kicked off the Sooners’ team for an NCAA rules violation, Bradford became OU’s record-setting quarterback.
Bomar recently signed a 4-year deal with the New York Giants.
What could they have been talking about? Your guess is as good as mine.
