Sounds like sour grapes, Bama reporters say UGA rumors of grade issues are highly overrated. He suddenly developed grade issues when was getting serious about Alabama.


What? He developed grade issues the moment he committed to UGA. There was even talk if we should consider him a commit at all because he was considered a non-qualifier from the start.

I don't know why Bama got more involved, but the academic/off-field concerns are real. He's already had a drug possession arrest to go with those qualifying issues.


Either way, if rumors of Holyfield being a UGA-Bama fight are true then by all means, Bama can parade Emmons around all they want.

This

The second he commited our mods said don't get your hopes up he has grade issues and later on it came out that he wouldn't qualify. We would love to have him as a player but unfortunatly the staff can't control academic issues.

Nothing wrong with a lil weed...all the best athletes do it. All joking aside though all do seem upset. We don't need all of you to tell us he has grade issues and all that. We already know. Remember Eddie Lacy didn't have a chance to get in either.

Are you reading the same posts I am? I haven't seen one UGA post that comes off as upset. If he lands at Bama then I am happy for the kid and I would imagine most UGA fans have no ill will towards BJ.

We're just stating the facts around his recruitment with UGA. His grades are terrible and have been since before he committed and decommitted.

Its probably more GA post in here than Bama post for one and the first response is something on the lines of hope he gets his grades together or some BS. That's sounds a lil upset. No congrats or nothing.

why 247 has him rated as a 3*,


And they need to stop doing that. Its completely dumb imo. Id rather them put on his profile that he has grade issues or off the field issues. Don't make it look like the kid isn't one of the best at his level. That's fricked up.

Wanna know how I know you just heard of him?
















Because you have no idea his grades are a mess.

Y'all seem to be all over this thread, based on a kid that apparently never would have been admitted to UGA.

Seems like y'all should be happy Bama is just wasting their time on him

Probably because he used to be a recruit for UGA. Would you not want as much info about a recruit as possible? If we get one from another school we usually have a thread on here asking for details.

Sorry to break it to you, but if Lacy can get cleared so can this kid.

I like how it's repeated five times in this thread as if we couldn't read the first time a Georgia fan posted about his grades.

Also, about his drug arrest... Didn't he commit to UGA afterwards? If so, your moral superiority is slipping.

I never said it would or should prevent anyone from taking him. I said it's an issue, even if only for PR reasons.
