Is this a shock to everybody or has he been making noise? ANy speculation on where he would go?

Had to see this one coming. With Brooks coming in, he

didn't have a chance to see the field.

Helps us with our numbers crunch as well if we get lucky on a few oversign worthy prospects.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I hate to see him go.


Oct 10, 2011, 11:25 PM

I watched him at the spring game and liked what I saw. I know the coaches know much better than I do, but I thought he brought a different element to the ground game. Seemed to be able to power through where toher guys couldn't. We don't have another big back (210+)on our roster at TB. I wish him nothing but the best!

Best of luck!

Hate to see Demont go. I thought he would be able to help out this year.

Good luck Demont!!!! You'll always be a Tiger!!!***

Well, dang. I really wanted to see a true power back at Clemson. Howard is a solid runner, but it would be nice to have a true hard running back.

Best of luck to you, Demont.

Best of luck

Thanks for making Clemson your first choice. Sorry it didn't work out the way you hoped.

It took a lot of courage for him


Oct 10, 2011, 8:13 PM

to walk away from his Auburn commitment and come to Clemson. I always rooted for him to get some playing time and become a bruised goal line back. Good luck wherever you end up Demont!

We really need a big back. too bad he wasn't getting more time.

Re: That's a crying shame.


Oct 10, 2011, 8:28 PM

It looks like Ellington will be our physical/every down RB and Bellamy will add some quickness to the position.

Howard will likely be our backup.

Good Luck to Buice whatever he decides.

What's Chad Diehl?

Re: That's a crying shame.


Oct 11, 2011, 12:49 PM

a LB who blocks well as a FB IMO.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: Who??


Oct 10, 2011, 8:35 PM

I understand a guy wanting playing time but the only person holding him back is himself.

Stay on the team and get a first class education.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I was hoping that he'd be a Diehl that could run and catch


Oct 10, 2011, 9:21 PM

at the FB position. Hate to lose this one. Maybe DJ takes that role now.

him. He looked good in the O&W game.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

As hard nosed as Howard is (and he does run hard), he isn't


Oct 11, 2011, 2:15 AM [ in reply to I was hoping that he'd be a Diehl that could run and catch ]

a true bruiser like Buice can potentially be. Demont also has some decent wheels for his size too. I hate to see him go, he really did add an element to our backfield, but I guess there's not much room with AE, MB and DJ in front of him (HotRod still in the mix too).

Can't say I really blame him for transferring.

Best of luck to him for sure.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Good luck to Buice. Serious question though... why now?


Oct 10, 2011, 9:29 PM

why during the middle of the season. Same with the WR a couple weeks ago.

It seems to me with a team on a hot winning streak, # 8 in the country, these announcements could wait until the end of the semester?

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

May as well clear out the locker room and open up recruiting


Oct 10, 2011, 9:50 PM

slots along the way. Bad news early is best.

Go Tigers! Beat Maryland!

Oct 10, 2011, 11:10 PM [ in reply to Good luck to Buice. Serious question though... why now? ]

if you wait till the end of the season it's much harder to find a school. Most will have filled that slot with a recruit.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Funny, I was just telling my brother tonight that I hoped


Oct 10, 2011, 9:54 PM

Buice would be the power back of the future since Bellamy is more of a smallish skat type back. Oh well, good luck.

Very, Very Excited. Very, Very Proud.

Sorry to see you go, good luck ... try UF they need someone who can run...

guess he saw the writing on the wall with the spread offense and really no power running game..

I sign off to have dinner, spend some time with the kids and put them to bed and come back to this. Kind of a downer. I can't help but wonder if Sammy's success and playing time as a freshmen is causing some of the others to think they should be on the field making the big plays and being the star. Not questioning the coaches, they have a plan and it is working.

Looks like such a talent and wish he could have developed a bit, earnd some playing time, found a starting slot, if not this year then next year but if he don't want to be here and be in the program then best he rolls out now I guess.

We have way too many RB's. I'm surprised somebody hasn't already left. The good news is that we have two more scholarships open.

Re: Front Page Story: Buice to Transfer


Oct 11, 2011, 9:36 AM

The fact that Buice has not played much is an indication that he was not as good, in the coaches' opinions, as the ones in front of him. Unfortunately for him, but fortunately for our team, we have backs who are better. It really is that simple. I wish him the best, and I would bet he can find a program where he can be more of a factor, but at Clemson, we have better backs, and they seem to be getting the job done. God bless Demonte for wanting more. I know it had to be a tough decision for him. I hope to read that he is very successful in the future.
