I don't fault UGA - the kid didn't adjust. I also don't fault AU - he may adjust in a different setting. Coaches fail and get picked up all the time by other schools - why should the same not apply for a player?
Who knows what these kids are being told during recruiting cycles?
Whining like this dad is doing is silly. Almost embarrassing.
Also - one player leaving is different than several. Take each instance for what it is but Richt definitely has some things to deal with.

Look at the situations.
JHC: dismissed because he smoked too much pot. Something a lot of programs simply look the other way on.
Wiggins: didn't want to work. Plain and simple. Didn't like the way Pruitt coached and Pruitt didn't care for his attitude or work ethic. See ya.
Tray: arrested earlier this spring. Most fans gave him a 50/50 shot to make it to Labor Day. Not surprising that he was dismissed. Had a ton of talent but had a SERIOUS attitude problem. The incident with the professor was the last straw and was extremely telling. Kid has no humility and no respect. JUCO would have been better for him.
In summary, you can't make a blanket statement when all the situations are different. What it really looks like is we rid ourselves of some talent, sure. But we also got rid of guys who weren't bought in to what we were doing. I'd rather have guys that are completely invested in the program and not about themselves, which each of these kids are.
