Adaris Bellamy, 4 star RB

[broeli]

Former USF commit. Sounds like there is a good chance he'll be signing this weekend!

Perfect fit to back up Pead. I like the video, get the tough yards!!!

[broeli]

Supposed to get a lot of yards between the tackles. He's 5'9" 215lbs, with a 4.55 40' time. He would definitely fill a need.

[Racinejake]

Definitely need a RB and he appears to be a pretty good one. Definitely more of a power runner based on his videos and should compliment Pead nicely.

[dbernie41]

This would be excellent.

[catscratchfever]

wow! very nice!! The lack of a power back to pick up the 3rd and 1 has been glaring ever since Greg Moore graduated! Remember the goal line stand VaTech had against us in the orange bowl?

[Thegreatone]

Certainly adds a different element to the offense. Got to like that.

[Forsure21]

This would be biggest pickup of the class IMO. We needed an RB in the worst way.

[xlax1306]

Just watched his highlights and this dude is goooood.

[shaunsimpson]

Sounds like close to a done deal from a football perspective. As long as visit goes well then this will take the sting away from losing brown for sure. If we end up with him I would then be confortable saying the case is equal to the class kelly had +

Did you watch his highlights on rivals shaun? if not, check them out.

Adaris Bellamy Highlights (http://rivals.yahoo.com/video/recruiting-football/Adaris-Bellamy-Highlights-1-30454;_ylt=Atq4J.r2GYb71aqAJJV.qxEh7qB4)

[Racinejake]

Some highlight clips from youtube for those who don't have premium on rivals. Definitely a between the tackles type of runner who does not go down on first contact. He's no slouch in the open field either. Extremely intriguing prospect.

was bellamy here this past weekend? pead's twitter recently had something about how he was 2-1 with recruits and his twitter page earlier today said "3-1 ;)" not sure if bellamy was here or had some contact with him or if its someone else totally unrelated, anyone have any ideas?

Sounds pretty promising to me. I imagine Pead would be the one hosting him. Watching his video, all I can say is wow. This is a great pickup if he signs, and how huge is it that he can start classes and practicing with the team now?

I love how he takes pride in that.

I do not like the fact that he is leaving USF, he must be scared of getting hit.

Not sure what that means, but Bellamy was told he no longer has a scholarship offer by the new USF coaching staff. He didn't qualify in 2009 and was set to join the team for 2010 until Holtz and staff came in.

LOL was a joke, their old coach hits players

[bearcatfan80]

So the Bellamy thing is not dead yet. He will be visiting UC this weekend.

[colocat]

This article, from last August, makes me really like this kid. He seems to have learned his lesson about working hard - http://blogs.tampabay.com/preps/2009/08/adaris-bellamy-to-former-team-work-harder-than-i-did.html

That is awesome. I sure do hope we get this kid...we need a good RB to compliment Pead and the others, seems to have matured and hopefully ready to work hard and produce at a very high level. Hope he is still coming to Clifton for a visit, multiple rumors both saying he is coming and that he is not and that it is dead?!?! IDK? Go get 'em Butch!

Go Cats!

What I don't get is where are the rumors coming from that he isn't visiting? Everything I've seen, lke the article posted by his former coach just two days ago, says he's visiting this weekend and will likely commit.
Someone please show me a link where Bellamy or another good source like a family member or coach say he's not coming.

I think everyone was speculating that since Bellamy did not sign with UC on signing day, even though he wouldn't be a part of that class, they were assuming he was not coming? Idk.

[shaunsimpson]

I don't think Bellemy would ever sign a loi. I think he would enroll and sign schlarship papers.

[bearcatfan80]

Yeah I thought so too

[daap_bearcat97]

The guys from BearCatLair were saying that the reports were premature and that it was unlikely that he was coming. I am sure Tim or Todd can clarify. I hope he is coming and will sign, but again, others are reporting that it is unlikely (this was from a few days ago), not my words.

Cheers.

I remember the same thing. But the quote from his coach saying he's coming to visit confuses things a little. We will see I guess if he is added or not.

We should see if Freddy Lenix is available - he could play some RB.

Didn't Lenix leave/get dismissed from the team almost immediately?

[Thegreatone]

Mister.......Simpson.

[MST83]

I asked Andre Revels Mom and Uncle about Mister and they just shook their heads and said "He has PROBLEMS"

So do we, AT RUNNING BACK!

Didn't a commit/decommit/commit/decommit who went northward also have a coach who said he was going to be a Bearcat? Perhaps a little subtefuge...

I am sure they are happy that you posted that.

[jadam222]

I am sure they are happy that you posted that.

My sister married his Uncle about 1 1/2 years ago. So, she is Andre's aunt through marriage and obviously I know them all. I agree with you that he might want to delete his post. Not to big of a deal but that is why people don't like making any statements at all. Something told in private you should keep it that way. I know all kinds of things about Bengals players, former Bearcats and coaches but I will not disclose. I am sure many others on this forum know things as well and have kept their mouths close at least on an internet board.

[Dannyboy]

Well, its not a secret that Mister Simpson has problems. Really, really big problems.

i tracked down a lead found in an article re: Bearcats 2006 class on the football forum

http://www.notredamefalcons.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=623&path=ftbl

He's only a Sophomore unbelievably.

[Racinejake]

Thought I'd close the loop on this guy. He signed with Youngstown State today. I'd love to know the full story behind what went on with this kid.

Great find on Bellamy!
I'm thinking it's grades or more percise, lack of grades/test scores. I'd like a stud RB but I'll take the OL recruits we picked up over a back any day. It is amazing how good a back looks behind a great OL.
