Never oblivious to their $influence$ in SoFla. But I graduated from Belen and so did my brother just a couple months ago. I’m pretty involved with the school from an Alumni standpoint and keep up with sports in the school as I played baseball there. I honestly didn’t think Chaney would finish out his career at Belen. Figured he would’ve transferred to Columbus, Aquinas, or somewhere else, even with his dad working there.
The kid has honestly shocked me with his character in that he knows his numbers might not be as good as elsewhere despite his talent. Wherever the kid lines up, all 22 eyes on the defense are looking at him. The blocking he gets isn’t superb either especially considering Belen competes in 8A with the big boys and, let’s face it, we don’t have specimens on the line to block.
There’s a picture of the Kirbster somewhere out there with the coaching staff and his dad. A couple pics of the staff with Richt and some of the other Miami staff like Banda, Diaz, and Brown. Everyone except Saban and his **** chopper have stopped by the school. If this kid ends up at an $EC school it won’t be because of $. The dad and him pride themselves on high character over everything else.
