No.....Gabe Wright said UT was right there for a while vs AU and some reported the night prior to NSD that UT led and he would sign with UT. I never saw UT as the leader for a few reasons.
1. Where he grew up was minutes from AU 2. AU did lead for more of his recruitment...UT never really led 3. He "secretly" visited AU again the week prior to NSD unofficially IIRC.
IMO he is a bit like Ford......but Ford is just not the talkative type Gabe was (hope I am wrong and we get Ford).......maybe something like that WR Ambles that went to USCw over UT/UNC.....he ran his mouth more than anyone should and of course he never panned out. Bellamy is not a bad comparision but I think Ford is closer a we are close but most think AU leads and he might have made the late unofficial visit to AU. Ambles would be my other choice if you are talking about running their traps

Easily the most vocal of the players we have or are trying to get. Odds are he will probably commit to our staff and UGA's. He will probably commit in some flashy where If we don't get him he will be up there with Gabe Wright for me. Gabe Wright is easily my least favorite recruit of all time, and I can't wait for our O-line to destroy him next year when he comes to Knoxville.

I don't understand why the pic with the bong was a big deal. It was in Oregon, everyone forgets the weed laws there are minimal. Weeds not even a big deal. It's so frowned upon in the South because we're considered the Bible belt. Unfortunately the south will be the last region to legalize. That being said he would help our defense yeah i want him.

Speak for yourself. I was hooked on it for 3 years, and it made my life miserable. It's frowned upon by me because I know how it's capable of dragging a man down. I think the reason it's become a big deal on this board is because posting the pic to twitter displays poor judgement and poor judgement often times results in negative news headlines or the dismissal of a player.
The thing that stands out to me about Bellamy's recruitment is his quote after the UT visit about him not being the only "big name" player strongly considering Tennessee. That doesn't exactly scream humility. If anything, it screams false sense of entitlement. He's not a big name player. He's a 3-star who wasn't offered by Florida, LSU, or Bama. Accordign to 247, there is 34 DEs better than him. If it wasn't for our desperate need at DE, we wouldn't be hanging on his every word.
We need him, so I want him, but if he decides to play LB at Georgia, I won't lose sleep over it.

My personal feelings about the chronic aside, i dont think it's a matter of the legality of MJ.. Getting a pic taken like that is just plain poor judgment, number one. Number two, if you want to do it recreationally on your own, that's certainly your perogative, but for a D1 recruit, im pretty sure it's not a performance enhancer on the field, and if you test positive or are caught with it at school, you can get booted from the team. Those are the things that would raise red flags for me.
Oh absolutely I agree. I'm not trying to be his defendant, but how do we know whose bong it is and more than likely has nothing to do with him. It is his responsibility not to tweet those kinda pics, but hell he was prolly too high to make sure the picture was straight. Or he didn't see it on the table cuz of those sunglasses.
