*This is an older interview and could be out of date.

I had the opportunity to conduct an interview with a power forward from the class of 2013, Jordan Bell.  (Jordan: L.B. Polytechnic and AAU:California Supreme – 2013) Jordan is a 6 foot 9 inch, 200 pound Point Forward out of Long Beach, California.  He is one of the best Power Forwards in the class of 2013; 93 Grade 4 Stars; 14^th Position, 5^th Regional and 5^th State (California). He is rated as a 4 Star on ESPN. I created a list of 10 questions that I believe our audience would find interesting about the life of a young basketball recruit. These are the questions that I asked Jordan, followed with his answers.
