BOL Round Table

I was able to see Belue play several games in high school and he was the most dominate player on the field by far.

He was amazing at returning kicks too

Didn't he have like an 8 game steak where he took a punt to the house his Sr. year?

Or has he Belown you away?

The only knock I have on Belue is him falling alseep at times. it seems like if a someone gets beat it's always him or Sunseri. Belue has tremedous upside though.

I think it was mostly so he could focus on picking up the defense.

Agree completely I was at the Bama ut game and it was like a thing of beauty seeing him in the receivers hip pocket all night. Yes I know he got beat once but other than that he was amazing. Plays the ball just as good as milliner and has some major hops and quick twitch muscle movements to him. If I had to bet on it I would say milliner will be a first round corner this year and belue the next. Yes he's that good and it's his first year in the system.

Belue has definitely impressed. Hope to see some more picks from him down the stretch!

pretty sure this is the case, I remember it took Belue being enrolled in January before he was added to our commitment list last year, even though he has re-committed during the season, or maybe right at the end, last year. I think it was due to the fact they weren't sure if he would qualify.

soap box moment, and slight high-jack, but one thing i have always had a small problem with is the notion that a player that is academically questionable gets downgraded due to eligibility concerns. IMO, if a player is a stud, and say a top 50 player, rank him as such. Just because he isn't as likely to make it to a university as a guy a few spots below him doesn't make him any less talented. It also leads to other players being over-ranked, even if only slightly so.

Dareus was no doubt a top 250 player, probably a top 100 player, or close to it coming out of high school. He was raw, and needed coaching, but most everybody (poster-wise) who saw his film just hoped he'd make it on campus because he was going to be a player. But he was ranked a 3* because the evaluators thought he wouldn't qualify - which kind of makes me wonder how they know this information, since isn't there some privacy issues there? In any case, it seems to me it would be more accurate that they rank him based on his ability, and let his eligibility play out however it plays out.

Belue I think suffered some from eligibility issues, but I think he was also a little more of a question mark on how his game would project on the SEC level. I think he always had the athleticism to be a player - like somebody mentioned, many thought he'd at least be an immediate option as a return guy. Just weren't as sure as how he'd play out as a DB, kind of like Javier Arenas.

Fact is there are a bunch of players to grade, the folks are gonna miss some and nail others, but it appears CNS and staff nail a lot more than they miss, and as long as he is good enough for a scholly from CNS then I'll count him as a chance at being a stud (Chance Warmack immediately comes to mind)
