PowerOfDixieland 3,227 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 "I am proud of the improvements Mike Bellamy made in the spring semester in a number of areas," Swinney said. "We gave him the opportunity to return to school in January and to grow as a player and a person and by all accounts from his teammates and coaches, he was doing well." Huh...

rockfordpi 91 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Seems like we recruited Bellamy hard and were in the running for him. If he is the one I am thinking about, I recall being disappointed when he committed to Clemson. Just another case of all the excitement and distraught we (me included) sometimes have over recruits is all for naught. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just another case of all the excitement and distraught we (me included) sometimes have over recruits is all for naught. You're thinking correctly. Bellamy was the top RB choice for me coming out of his class and I was disappointed we couldn't land him. On film he was in my opinion the most impressive back of that class.

milehighfan 1,240 Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I remember in 1977 or 76 AU had a freshman RB very few had ever heard of by the name of Joe Cribbs. As I remember, he turned out OK. Another point, in 1982 Auburn pulled in a RB by the name of Alan Evans, considered the top RB in the state. He never played a down at Auburn. There was a guy by the name of Bo Jacksom whobwat him out. And a Paul Harvey would say, "Now you know the rest of the story." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUGoo 2,666 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Don't get to big headed. Clemson historically has a stable of running backs like we do. They will still have some stud to fill their needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was curious about our recruiting him so I looked on Rivals. They say we never offered him. Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
