It would be dope if we could grab him but all reports says South Carolina due to health issues with his mom I believe.
 
5* DT Josh Belk is transferring from Clemson UM should Reach Out and see if something can be worked out. His mom is ill and Clemson gave him a unconditional release (kudos to Dabo for this one). I would guess that UM hospital would offer better medical treatment than any hospital in Lewisville, SC (which is Belz hometown), or Columbia, SC his expected landing spot. Charlotte, NC is an hour north of Lewisville, sc so if Belz went to USCe he would traveling an hour home, than an additional hour north to Charlotte, NC to get expert care for his mom. Were as in Miami the trip would be mere minutes away for his mom to get world class medical treatment.

Yes, they apparently have a huge medical bill on the horizon and they're going to uproot to head to a much more expensive city to live in. Sure makes sense to me.

Edit: I thought Clemson was all about that bag life. He spend it already? Sarcasm.
 
I appreciate people providing different potential candidates for transfer and what not. But use some common sense.

There is already a thread about this, still in the top half of the first page. 5 seconds would have avoided this spam. Nice work OP.
 
Guy transfers in-state to be closer to his sick mother. OP believes family should instead relocate to Miami to get treatment. Makes perfect sense.

Now I have seen everything.

This kid will likely transfer from Clemson to South Carolina. Based on his family home being in Richburg, he will be AT MAX an hour closer (driving from the USC campus to Richburg, vs. driving from the Clemson campus to Richburg).

Good lord, what is the world coming to...look, I have no problems with this kid doing whatever he thinks is right, but he's saving AN HOUR DRIVE at best. And Dabo is giving him an unconditional release.

Sorry, but something else is going on here...

Hmm surprise surprise Belk said he wants to look around and take some visits to a few schools so he won't pick a school until July. Now this could be Belk posturing for a bigger package from USCe or he could be genuinely looking at other schools, either way it doesn't hurt for Miami to kick the tires.

What's probably going on is that the kid originally wanted to go to South Carolina and, given the unfortunate circumstances with his mom, he now needs to be at South Carolina to be closer to his mom. What's Dabo's motivation for giving him an unconditional release? He doesn't want the bad PR for blocking a kid's transfer to be closer to his sick mother when he has 46 other 5* on his DL already and 240 other studs who want to commit to him right now.
