Aurora [Ohio] lineman Adam Bellamy is one of the top prospects in Ohio. Bellamy has five scholarship offers and is finally starting to hear from Ohio State. The Buckeyes have invited Bellamy to attend the basketball game on March 9th as part of another Junior Day. Bill Greene has more on this prospect.

 Rivals - Bellamy enjoys junior day $
Most schools looking at him as a DT. Enjoyed OSU junior day. Heading to one of their practices in a few weeks. From OSU site so no MSU updates...

What would we do with a 6'4 270 lb guy on the bball floor?
He looks like he's got great size though and is a good student. He'll get stronger, I can bench 265,  .

This kid plays for my small small little high school here in the land of snow. He's the horse on our pretty darn good running team. I'm pretty sure he's not on the basketball team.....sorry.
Also, Aurora's colors are green and white....I'm just sayin'.

OSU is going to be select with OL this year. They signed a bunch last year, and many think they will only sign 2-3 OL this year. This leaves a great oppertunity for MSU

That couldn't work out better for MSU if it's true that there is a lack of line talent in MI this year.

OPPORTUNITY  . I honestly wonder if some of you actually went to MSU or if you are the spartan version of Wal-Mart Wolvies. If you did go to MSU, you guys really make Spartan graduates sound like ****ing idiots when you spell words wrong that 90% of high schoolers get right. Talk football all you want, but when you are representing a fine institution like MSU, why don't you try not to spell like middle schoolers?

Now say something about Bellamy or don't post in this thread

Scout - Bellamy in Holding Pattern $
Longtime OSU fan. Has not decided on other camps he'll attend other than OSU. Playing baseball. Really liked MSU spring visit.

Something else hopefully helping us is that Adam's high school principal is great friends with  (I believe they were college buddies). If OSU doesn't offer, we should have a great shot.

Per BP, he does play hockey, though, which means that he must be quite agile.

Alright I'm finally an expert on someone on here. I'm a senior at Aurora and have played football with Adam for the past three years and baseball for the past two years. I know how he blocks and plays defense because I lined up to him alot as a TE and beside him as an OLB. First of all this kid is a great person, he's very humble and he's gracious for his natural talent and strength. He is also a great overall athlete as he is not only a superb football player, but a good hockey and baseball player.
Football wise, he recieved an official offer from Akron last week, as the coach came to our school and offered him around the end of the day. It was pretty big ews around our school, because not many kids from Aurora go D-I. He also told me that he has heard from Wisconsin, Illinois, and some MAC schools. He also attended the Army All-American Combine in San Antonio, and I think he did fairly well there. As far as his height and weight go, he is actually probably about 6' 4'' 270 lbs right now, but definitly has the frame to put on some more weight. At the college level, I think he will end up on the defensive side of the ball. He always graded out high in blocking percentage, but his pass protection would need a bit of work, although he plows people run blocking. Defensively you can see from his highlight film his motor and his quickness off the ball. Once he gets better at using his hands, he will be even more of a terror.
As far as questioning the competition, it is true, we didn't play the most rigorous high school schedule in OH. Streetsboro is kind of a joke, as is Crestwood although they had some big boys. Twinsburg (white and dark blue on the highlight video) had some pretty good players, including a 6'4'' 300 lb. senior DE/T who me and him kinda abused just downing him to death. Beachwood was another interesting game. They really suck but their DE/T Evan Luxembourg (sp?) just verballed to NW and will play DT there. Bellamy held his own against him. Other than that, we faced some solid competition, but definitly not among the best in Ohio. Also something to remember for people questioning our level of competition... last year in the playoffs we defeated and physically dominated Walsh, and we beat Lake Catholic. Our DE who graduated last year and is in the similar mold of Bellamy (just about 3 or 4 inches smaller) absolutely destroyed current BC OL Nick Schepis. Also next year we are picking up Avon and dropping Streetsboro, which isn't a big upgrade, but and upgrade nonetheless.
As far as his speed goes, he can definitly run and has natural speed for a big kid, but the scary thing is he can be faster. His running style is kind of jerky and unnatural and all over the place. I think with some more form running coaching, he could get down to a high 4.7. Also he is and was one of the strongest kids in the weight room even as a junior. I'm going off of memory here, but I believe they just maxed out and he was at bench-295, squat-405, power clean- 265. Again I'm just going off memory but I think they are pretty close to his numbers. And those should get much better over the summer.
I'm looking forward to seeing how this all plays out over the next year and hopefully he will be one of the first football players from Aurora to go D-1 for football. I will provide my own updates throughout his recruitment as much as I can.

Another thing to note is that MSU and Cinncinatti (spelling?) assitant coaches went to a few of our baseball games this year to see him play. Also, I get the feeling that he's still kind of feeling out the whole process so I think everything will take shape for him more this summer. |

most of the scout network is under Tom Beavers control. He'd probably rank every uofm recruit a 5 star and every msu recruit a 1 star if he thought he could get away with it.
Scouts a rag mostly because of the subjective numb-skulls that run the site like him.
how many prospects does scout have at the wrong position every year. Everybody could be recruiting a kid as a Defensive end and scout would probably list him as a Tight End.
plus the sites themselves look like shyt. It's easy to tell that they're a nickle and dime operation.

OSU camp this weekend. Word here in sucknut territory is he will be offered at camp and commit. I kind of doubt that though. OSU is on Hall and Watt still and someone else I am forgetting at this time. I can't see them taking to many with who they got last year, plus Boren.
