Yeah, academics mainly. LSU didn't want him. I don't blame that decision then or now, makes perfect sense from our side of the pond. Grats to Bama for taking him, getting academics straightened out and having him live up to his potential as a star RB.

Why did they not want Lacy but did players like Lostin, Taj Jones, and Peterson? Hell Ford the back LSU took over Lacy had to appeal being ruled academically ineligible this year, and Jones was ineligible.

I could be completely wrong about this and would love to know the true answer if Bama fans know it, but I was told a while ago that Bama has a remedial program that tends to help guys stay academically on track. UGA used to, but I believe sometime after the Jan Kemp affair it was completely done away with at UGA. I have no idea if that was because of the JK thing or because the University finally decided it was F'n ridiculous to run a remedial program at a flagship state university, something I can completely understand. It was sometime in the late 90s, early 2000s I think so it might have been a part of the Adams push to improve the reputation of UGA.
