Terrell Bell , who signed with Virginia Tech last November, turned in a fine senior season at Stone Mountain High School (GA). The 6-7, 200-pound guard/forward helped his team to a 26-5 record and an appearance in the quarterfinals of the state playoffs. He demonstrated the versatility Tech fans will be able to see over the next four years.

“My senior season went real good,” Bell said. “We ended up losing in the state playoffs to the state champs. I averaged around 15 points and nine rebounds per game. I felt like I played more dominant. I played stronger. I felt like a leader. We had a new coach who gave me the freedom to let me play. In close times, I would run point. I moved from the one to the four.”

Bell is already where he needs to be in terms of qualifying academically and he feels his game is where it needs to be to be able to contribute significantly in his freshman year at Virginia Tech.

“Right now, I feel like my game is where it needs to be,” said Bell, who is being recruited by Virginia Tech as a small forward/wing guard. He will arrive at Tech in early July. “I probably will put 10 pounds on before I head up there because I know they want to put more weight on me once I get there. I feel like I need to work on my ball-handling, too. That’s the next step right now.”
