Thank You Thomas Bell III

[UNTLifer]

Great career. Thanks for coming back for one more run. Crazy athletic and a match up nightmare that we will miss more than I think we realize. Thank you for representing us so well and being part of our first ever wins in the NCAA and NIT. Hall of Famer in my book.

This better get at least 20 upvotes, hearts, trophies, etc.

 

He was our MVP.

Great career! You gave us many smiles. Thank you.

Perry got the most hype, but Bell was the team’s MVP if you ask me

[Green Otaku]

The fact that he got 2 threads should say something. 😉

Really going to miss TB, not often a player like him comes around. Athletic, strong, boundless energy, and he carried himself like a great man on and off the court. Thank you.

What did I miss? 
 

Bell has been my favorite player for a while. Wish he had a better outside shot. I always enjoy those NBA ready body guys like T. Bell or J. Williams. I loved having Bell on the team.

TB3 is a beast!

Loved TB III. He’ll be hard to replace!

The part where you have consistently bad takes and get confused by just about everything.

Best wishes in everything he does going forward!!

There were several newer starters or major role players that shocked us with their leadership and incredible athletic abilities, but TBIII set the leadership standard. He's one tenacious son-of-a-gun.

I look forward to following him in his professional basketball endeavors, and even more so as he returns to be active in the Letterman's Alumni chapter.

Well, you need both too.  Your most important player isn't necessarily the guy who takes the big shots all the time.  For instance, one could argue Shannon Shorter was the MVP of a couple of JJ's best teams, but Tristan, George, and Josh were the guys that got the love.

I love the balance that Bell and Coach Mac gave each other   Bell was always so calm. Coach Mac so exciteable.  I think they helped each other out actually.

That block was a huge reason why we got to OT, MASSIVE!

As well as his offensive rebound resulting in the Perry shot!

Same thing in January in Ruston!

Bell was like a Bull in a china shop....sometimes not too graceful, but so athletic with no fear of going inside against anybody, and I loved those one-handed sky rebounds!
