OT: This Jaheim Bell post is vile and disgusting. I wish him nothing but the worst.

If you were looking for something that embodies all that is wrong with college football, I present Exhibit A.

"Standin' on business"

"Takin' my talents back to the crib." (or whatever that last word is)

I wish we could purge this piece of scum from the pages of Gamecock football history.

I wish him luck. Let's move on. If we pick up the TE out of Arkansas, it will be an upgrade.

Maybe I'm just already becoming numb to it. But I am way more disappointed than disgusted.

This is going to become so much more common very soon.
I shook my head after viewing that. I kind of like FSU, especially since they could threaten clemson. Not sure I could pull for him even against clemson.

Speaking of clemson, thank you again for providing the schedule. How someone could call you a clemson fan is beyond my understanding. I spit out my drink in laughter when I read that accusation. It was another "shaking my head" moment.

I don’t see anything “vile” or “disgusting.” Those are words I’ve heard used for heinous crimes and criminals.

It’s obnoxious for sure. But that’s no different than big high school recruits making a big to-do on signing day and we’ve had plenty of signees do that. Calling him “scum” is an overreaction.

Let’s start putting some things in perspective here.

Hmm a 20 yo who’s talents were under utilized decides to go to another corporation and get a raise and hopefully improve his resume for his career. How vile and disgusting! And he publicly thanked you for his opportunity at your company

I had to laugh pretty hard too. I'm a Clemson fan because I posted the schedule?

Overreact much. Just a kid making a decision that he thinks is best for him. No biggie. We move on and get someone better. At least scholarship limit is no longer an issue where we can replace someone quickly. Alao, we no longer have to be saddled with someone for 4 years that doesn't want to be here.

I stand by my assessment: vile and disgusting. He deserves nothing but the worst.

His post epitomizes all that is wrong with college football. I will be actively rooting for him to fail in the most spectacular fashion possible.

One day the history books will include Jaheim Bell with the likes of Hitler, Hussein, Ivan the Terrible and Stalin. And deservedly so.

He gave all his efforts to USC - and I too would have left if I were him. He has no idea what kind of offense the new OC will run (does anyone?), and USC basically made him lose a year of playing his position (either by not throwing to him, or putting him at RB). Dude wants to get back on track. He is already 21, he can't waste any more time at USC.

To wish for a 21 year old to fail because he doesn't want to play football at your school anymore is shameful. Nothing was wrong with his post... wish he would've stayed but I can see why he didn't...he moved on & so should you.

I kinda agree. He’s a kid getting a lot of attention. It’s his 15 minutes. Who cares?

He and Lloyd get nothing and will never be able to claim to be a Gamecock. They lost that privilege when they walked. We don't need **** like this in the program.

Really though? I saw a ton of effort to get him the ball in the back half of the year, and quite honestly he was blowing the roof off or breaking games.

He complimented Juice, Rattler, Brooks etc. Without those three, we don't win. Adkins outplayed him at the TE position. When the game was on the line, our own guys called for Juice to get the last first down. That speaks VOLUMES.. over Lloyd and Bell.

Better enjoy it while it lasts. If he goes to the NFL, he'll have to grow up fast or find another job.

It's really no big deal to me. He's a kid trying to do what he feels is best for him. Kids express themselves in different ways and I don't personally have an issue with it. Let him go and try and move on.

Hard to blame the kid. We wasted his talents this year. I'd be pissed if I were him. Complete incompetence on our part.

I think what many people here are feeling but aren't able to articulate very well, is that these young men lack emotional stability and the idea that the team comes before the individual. Some of the greatest players have had to wait their turn. I can sympathize with them leaving for money, especially if they don't come from means (I'm not suggesting they didn't, I don't claim to know anything about their financials), but a committment is a committment. There's something about seeing things through even if they don't suit your personal feelings. I tried to quit teeball when I was a kid because I hated it, and I wasn't that good; however, my parents made me finish the season and I am glad I honored my committment. I realize our season is over, but my teeball team wasn't connected to a 4-year university with the expectation of a 4-year committment. So I can see how it seems like they're quitting on the team. Maybe they don't have the mental toughness to accept the change. Maybe they're not emotionally mature enough to accept that they can't always get their way. Maybe they have overinflated their importance and feel that they're irreplaceable, but nobody is irreplaceable. It doesn't necessarily have to be those options, but that's sort of what it feels like. Honestly, I don't feel like Marshawn is going to be any better anywhere else. Guys like him remind me of J Williams and RJ Roderick, who were hurt more than they were healthy. Perhaps he'll fare better in the Big 10 on the injury front. He wasn't the game-breaking talent we were hoping for, and I think he's pretty easily replaceable on that front.

What's wrong with it? FSU offered him more money and he went there and posted a video about it that didn't say a negative word about USC. And if you "purge" him from Gamecock history, comrade, thats means we didn't beat the taters and the Viles game was a lot closer.

A huge problem is that these guys don't believe in themselves and they don't have any long-term vision. Look at someone like Peyton Manning. He was going to be the #1 QB taken in the draft, and maybe the #1 player overall after his junior year. But he stayed for his senior season. Why? He believed in himself, and he had a long-term vision of his career. He knew he was going to be successful in the NFL. Do you think he's ever lost a wink of sleep over that 1 year of salary he left on the table by returning to college? I would guess "no." In the big picture, that one year was nothing. But the players today just don't have that vision and don't have self-confidence. And they have mommas and uncles and aunties pushing them to make that coin. These are the guys who end up broke despite making millions in the pros.

Is Bell your nephew or something? Him leaving was a statement about him, not SC. That video shows it’s all about him. Good luck and don’t let the door hit you is the way I feel. I get where 18 was coming from.

But the video wasn’t offensive or anything like that so hope he enjoys his new team. I will enjoy his former team.

Today we got a TE who blocks and runs and catches the ball consistently….win win for us.

Uh no, he is not my nephew, Did he run off with your girlfriend? We love capitalism, the young man changed jobs for what he thought was a better opportunity.
Sports is a business for conferences, schools, coaches and players. To think otherwise is naive. If you are starting at a P5 school getting to The League is a dream, goal, and life altering real possibility. Why wouldn’t you carefully evaluate your career?

Downright serious. Spoiled little brat. Didn't get his way on something. Boo hoo hoo hoo. What's he gonna do if he gets to the NFL (IF) and is locked into a contract and the coach chooses not to play him for a few games. His momma can't solve solve all his problems on Twitter. A few angry momma Tweets ain't gonna change nothing. Up there you just gotta knuckle down and FORCE your way to play. "Madea Takes to Twitter" won't cut it. Can't just be a thumb-sucker and decide you want to play somewhere else.

I have stated that I do not like the transfer portal the way that it is. Did these kids quit on their schools? Absolutely. The transfer portal should not even be open until the end of the year.

What I don’t understand is all the name-calling directed at the players who have left. Do I like it, no. It sucks. But you can’t have your cake and eat it too. You can’t trash these guys personally for leaving but then openly accept transfers from other schools. That is just hypocrisy at its finest.
