Thanks. Been seeing all this other crap come up and wondered if there was anything to it.

Playing time, plain and simple. He's an uber-talented player, no doubt and I think he will do well at tOSU. When he was recruited, he said he was fine with redshirting and, had he done that, he'd have gotten good separation from Fromm and the team would have been his for at least two years.

Unfortunately, whether it was ego, or family, or people in general in his ear, telling him how great he was, he ended up not redshirting and ultimately being displeased with his playing time.

He is trying to use the "racial slur incident," wherein a former UGA baseball player yelled something to the effect of "put my n**** in the game," during a football game to get a hardship waiver and play immediately. UGA fans had no issue with him leaving, but him trying to get a waiver based on that BS is what has many irked.

His sister just enrolled at UGA, FWIW, so kinda hard to really buy that he felt he was in any sort of hostile environment.
