It also helps SC...why would be "good" with helping a
SECE opponent?


yea not sure I agree with this at all.

Bad for you guys definitely.

If Clemson lost a guy I'd be happy, but if he went to UGA or Florida... I wouldn't be happy anymore.

At first, I thought you linked something that corroborated this wives' tale.




quote:

As soon as news broke that Belk was transferring, there was speculation as to why he was leaving, including that he did not get along with the Tigers coaching staff and that he might have gotten into trouble at Clemson.

But Belk’s lawyer, Everett Stubbs, told The State on Thursday that those rumors are not true.

“Josh has not been in any trouble. He’s been an exemplary student. He’s leaving with a 3.0 GPA. He’s done everything all the coaches have asked of him,” Stubbs said. “This is not one of those situations where the kid’s been in trouble or had-run ins with coaches. He just needed to make some moves that were best for him and his family.”




From The State newspaper.

He actually picked up his 5th star after the all star game by one of the services. I think clempson made a call and got him moved up so for that thanks.



CPC and the State both refer to him as a four star.

There you go. A lawyer said he's the greatest kid ever, so it's true.

I understand y'all are happy about the recruiting bump for your program, but why do think Dabo didn't care if this kid left the program and went to USCe? That doesn't seem odd to you?
A lawyer can't press charges, or whatever the hell you think he's going to do, because a coach told him he would be a starter and now he's not. That's not breaking any law.
This lawyer thing doesn't make sense on any level.

Dabo cowered down after the lawyer got involved. All these Clemson people who think Dabo is a saint crack me up. He and his brother Tracy (after a bucket of beers) wouldn't piss on a Clemson fan if they were on fire.

Like talking to a child.

Everyone knows Belk had a lawyer. The question is why.

You must be having one of those heavy flow days. Get you some Midol and a bottle of Chardonnay.

Good for SC but I am concerned what this new transfer does to CFb.


What changed? He isn't becoming immediately eligible because of a rule change.

By every account, Belk gained a tremendous amount of weight and initially failed the USCe physical.


This jives with what I heard. He weighed in the neighborhood of 370 lbs at 5'11" and is not anywhere close to playing shape.

Worked for Bama and USC.


And if Washington or Clemson had denied their waiver they would have had to sit out a year. Right?

Yeah its crazy that a player would sign with Clemson over USC... I mean Clemson obviously is terrible at getting DL in the league and Venables is a terrible DC... they must be paying them loads of cash. I am sure the big recruiting pitch for Belk was that after this year, he would be in prime position to start on a top 10 defense with some playing time this year. After this year with Wilkins, Dexter Lawrence and Huggins going to the NFL we are going to be thin at DT... his leaving didn't do us any favors. What are the odds that a kid just ups and gets a lawyer to leave his school? What are the odds that the school that finished second for his recruiting and was still reaching out to his family, just might happen to know a lawyer that could really help him out? And if you believe that our recruiting of him was dirty, which I don't think it was, then how dirty would you guys have to be to pull someone out of our program who enrolled in the spring?
Why can't a kid just change his mind ? Damn...you people get your panties in a wad over little of nothing. These 17, 18 and 19 year old kids owe you or me nothing...not a damn thing. If they pick another team then so be it ! Geez....

Please keep on. Makes it so much easier when I don't even have to do anything. Y'all expose your vile, disgusting, discount rent-by-the-day rv park true selves all by your lonesome.
