ICE DOESNT GET ANY THINNER BELLAMY


Dec 13, 2011, 5:42 PM

OK MINUS THE FUMBLING (SOMETIMES) BELLAMY HAS AMAZING TALENT AND SPEED AND IT WOULD ACTUALLY BE A LOSE LOSE SITUATION IF HE DOESNT GET HEAD ON STRAIGHT. TALENT WASTED HERE AT CLEMSON (HIS OWN FAULT) AND SAD THAT WE COULDNT WAIT AROUND ANY MORE FOR HIM TO MATURE. BUT SOMETIMES YOU GOTTA CUT TIES NO MATTER HOW PAINFUL IT MAY SEEM.

SINCE WE FAILED IN GETTING RB RECRUIT MARSHALL THE ONLY THING THAT WILL EASE LOSING BELLAMY SPEED AND TALENT IS US GETTING THUNDERS LITTLE BRO MIKE DAVIS.

Color this kid GONE! He can't handle not giving the orders. As a high school player he told the coaches what he would do and now he is being told what he will do. Sad,but his reputation with his friends will make him lose face if he doesn't act tough and leave Clemson. Frankly he is too small and fragile to make a good inside the tackles back anyway. Just chalk it up as a recruiting mistake,let him go and concentrate on those who remain and those coming.One man doth not a team make!

Every college with a football program would have LOVED to have had Bellamy join them!

He needs to mature and get an attitude adjustment and Dabo is helping him see the light.

Dec 14, 2011, 12:17 AM

I am not sure there is much out there better than this kid. He needs a year to mature and grow in the weight room which will happen. He has a pretty thick lower body that can pack on some weight and he will quickly. I wish he would get it together b/c a couple more weeks in bowl practices would have done a lot for him. I hope for the best here and hope he stays b/c he is gonna be a stud. Remember guys, the kid is 18 and was a star a year ago where he could just run around effortlessly. Dwayne Allen was the same way and look at him now....

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

As far as age...


Dec 14, 2011, 6:39 AM

I believe he is 20 actually. He needs to calm down and focus. I think he will mellow out though and have a huge year the year after next. He will have his opportunity to shine the year after next. He will be stronger, more mature, and will feel more comfortable. I bet he has two huge years. I wish the kid could look at the big picture. He has a bright future and he put too much pressure on himself right now.

I don't know if there are better out there or not, but I really hope he rethinks his attitude and decides this is where he wants to be and becomes a real TEAM mate and TEAM contributor, both on the field and off. I really want him to stay and contribute, but he has to do his part, on the field and off. If he does, he never will regret it. If he doesn't he always will regret it.

Re: Coach Swinney is a REAL COACH!.***


Dec 17, 2011, 7:56 AM

We have a young athelete like many before that simply needs some coaching,structure and accountability. Dabo will ensure he gets all three. Its up to young Mr. Bellamy to decide if he wants to be a man on this team.
It takes guts to do what Dabo is doing because he could lose this high profile recruit. But Dabo is doing something that the high school coaches failed miserably to do and that is teach this great athelete how to take responsibilty!
If Bellamy honors his commitment and stays the course we will see why DABO is the CLEMSON FUTURE!!!!!!

Chances are left up to the beholder...Garcia was a drunk immature brat who was given 5 chances. Bellamy is not in that kind of trouble. However I'll admit that I don't know what he has done to win disfavor, he needs to grow up. If he is breaking the law then get him out...if he is being childish, hold on and lets see. But start rercruiting to replace him.

There are rules every where you go. He broke a major rule I would guess. Mike don't want to man up and take his punishment. Dabo has a very good thing going at Clemson. And the old rule is, don't let one bad apple spoil the whole bunch. Championship teams must have firm rules. Or your team will just be one of the other teams. Man up and be all in, or pack up and be all the way out.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-15yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


I agree, but let's give him the opportunity to man up and


Dec 13, 2011, 6:50 PM

be all in, and not just push him out of Clemson halfway into his freshman year.

Should Dwayne Allen not have gotten multiple chances to get his act together? What about James Davis?

I realize that they didn't fail drug tests (to my knowledge) but those are two very good instances where they needed to get their priorities straight, and they did.

I think you are using the wrong Nocatee in Florida. Mike went to Charlotte HS, which is in Nocatee, De Soto County, Florida. He would have been about 170 miles to Sun Life Stadium. Even if he were from the northern Nocatee (St. Johns Co.), he would have only been about 320 miles. Either way, that is not far in Florida.

Dec 13, 2011, 6:35 PM

out of high school said a lot of things that bothered many Clemson fans (myself included) He got a chance to shine, but it wasn't enough, and he complained. He then showed us flashes of brilliance, and lots of fumbles, followed by more arrogance, and a lack of concern for team rules. He has been given several chances. How many does he deserve? Yes, young men make dumb decisions, and do stupid things, but how many mistakes should be allowed before you get your act together? If he hasn't done what he should by January, then I am all for him being "relieved of his duties." I feel like this guy must have some parental figures, or highly respected people feeding him thoughts and opinions that aren't in his best interest. If not, then the kid just has some serious issues that obviously have been around for a while, and probably aren't going away any time soon.

Re: Let's be honest about this one. He was arrogant coming

I got "Land Blasted" after the GT game for calling MB arrogant because he was jawing after a five yard gain when we were down by two touchdowns. Some things you can blame on maturity, some are core issues that will never change. Let's hope his are maturity and he will change very quickly, otherwise we will put up with this crap until he finally wears out his welcome.

Re: Let's be honest about this one. He was arrogant coming


Dec 14, 2011, 10:01 AM

An example of today's culture. The kid was probably handed everything since middle school because he was a star in High School. Then he gets to college where everyone was a high school superstar. Some kids can't handle no longer being top dog and actually having to buckle down to studies and team rules. Happens at every school sooner or later. Good for Dabo for challenging him to get right, not like it's done at Richland Avenue Trade School.

I may be naive on this one, but I am calling that Bellamy stays at Clemson and has a huge year the year after next and matures big time. I really believe that. I think this offseason is going to be great for him.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: Football Player Update: Bellamy out of Orange Bowl


Dec 14, 2011, 7:54 AM

I, like most of us, don't know first-hand what he did.
The punishment seems pretty firm for just about any "team rules" situation and will hopefully be a wake up call for him.

If not, no biggie.

There are over 18,000 high schools in the US. Let's be conservative and say only 20% of them have decently competitive football programs. Then let's say we only have access to those in our region, and that 20 other division 1 programs are recruiting there too. That's still 45 top-tier schools/year from which Clemson can cherry pick for scholarships.

The line for a full ride scholarship to one of the best schools in the country is a long one, and maybe some kids would do well to be reminded of that. No kid needs to treated like some sort of demigod.
