If we got played by Josh Belk and attorney, then the sad

thing is that he used an excuse that could be legit for many other athletes across the country. But he has used illness, which is very low. I'm sure we had no choice but to go along with it just to get him out of our hair. But it is one thing to just comply and another to pronounce someone and their family "great".
The entire situation is a waste of a huge amount of time and resources. I really hope another school wasn't complicit in pulling this stunt.
I think he will end up at South Carolina, but the fact that he is even visiting Georgia exposes this entire scenario as BS.
This is much worse than simply flipping as a commit. This type of charade has the potential to completely change the scholarship system and turn it into a free agency that will not work.

I agree with your opinion. I hope Belk is telling the truth but so many things don’t add up. I don’t know for sure so I can’t say what he is thinking. I just hope his case is legit because if it’s not it could help set a new precedence in CFB. Kids need to understand what commitment means. They need to understand loyalty. I hope what we are seeing is not the result of the NCAA catering to a lack of character. Time will tell. Honestly though what can we expect in a world where over signing and cutting players to make room for new recruits is commonplace. I’m glad Dabo doesn’t do it. I wish our signees would show the same amount of loyalty to our program as our program does to them.

If we got "played" then Dabo did the exact right thing

Not giving him a release would be the same as saying "Ya know, Doc, I see the risks but I think I'll just keep these cancerous cells"
The team that ends up with him is the one that is going to have trouble.
The only time I see being wasted on him now is on this board. I doubt the coaches talk about him at all.

the fact is the kid tried several times during spring to quit then went and got a lawyer who told dabo that he would release a statement that dabo really doesnt care about families if he did not give belk his unconditional release. fact is it was just the kid wanting out for whatever reason. work ethic, depth chart, several things. plus it was pretty evident that lance thompson stayed "in touch" with the family. we as clemson people should wish him good riddance and be glad the bad seed is gone. this topic should be dropped.

He's a waste of time, energy, and effort at this point. He had a poor work ethic at Clemson and tried quitting several times. He will be a paper weight at his next school. Dabo is doing the smart thing by dropping dead weight and allowing this kid to poison the next program. Laziness is not the standard at Clemson.

Nobody got played. It was known what the truth was it was just too big of a problem to need to deal with. He was a detriment to the team and it was best he left. Bad seeds spread through any program and we don't need that, the attorney and everything was just an excuse.

True,"we got played" does not really fit. If anything, Dabo
