    I keep up with all new players, my son doesn’t. When Cox was in the game, I’d tell my son “watch this guy, rush specialist, gonna pressure or get to the QB.” Cox would apparently aimlessly rush upfield, no pressure, no sacks. As I tend to do, I’d say “get him out of there, he brings nothing.” Watched him in run support and saw average.

    Not sweating losing him when we seem to clearly have 2-3 better options and his history of lack of discipline with teammates and such. And I don’t wish him well because the move to Florida seems “revengeful” to me.

    I thought Cox was awfully slow compared to his competitors at UGA, but a tough kid and a fighter. I think Grantham will put 20-30 pounds of muscle on him over the next twelve months in the gym and make him a DE. At any rate, he is right where he needs to be--fighting with Georgia players and coaches will make him a hero. Of course, they have their share of dope issues, so he should get a lot of support.

    I too was never really impressed with him last year as he appeared to be pretty lazy, but he has the potential to be a big pickup for them. Being dismissed from UGA probably gives him a chip on his shoulder that could very well prove to be the motivation he needs to reach his full potential.

    If everything that has been said about his attitude problems is true, I'm glad he's no longer a part of the team. However, I hate to see him land at UF. If he is able to get his attitude right, he could very well turn out to be a great player for them...with a little extra motivation to "prove them wrong". Especially in the WLOCP.

    With that being said, if he was really as disliked by the UGA players as has been suggested, I'm sure our big and nasty offensive lineman will have a little extra motivation also when he lines up against them :). Should be fun to watch.

    I just noticed this from back in May. Did he really not crack the three deep team?

    Why do you think he up and left. He had attitude issues and was PASSED on second team.

  • Bulldawg1982Bulldawg1982 Posts: 4,573 ✭✭✭✭✭ Graduate

    Yeah that looks about right to me...Of course the gator fans are going by Athlon sports mag. where he was listed with the 1s.

    If you don't mind me asking, is there a certain website you use for this info?

    Key part

    n cases where an athlete was run off by a coach or essentially had their scholarship pulled for non-disciplinary reasons, the NCAA will require a written statement from the athletics director at the previous school stating whether the athlete would not have had an opportunity to return to the team and why the athlete is transferring. The committee is being instructed to deny cases where the athlete can’t document that they’ve been run off. That marks a change from prior protocol, where a key determining factor in "run off" situations was whether the previous school objected to the waiver request

    My comment - If the player quits obviously he wasn't run-off. If the school dismisses him they would have to show it's for disciplinary reasons. In these cases as with employment they would have to show it's consistent with past practice to avoid discriminatory charges. Without knowing why he left it's hard to know if he would have a case. For instance is being a disruptive influence in the code of conduct handbook as an offense that results in dismissal. I know the spring charges alone would not be consistent with the handbook. If he got into an argument with another player or staff and said "I can't play here anymore" then he quit. All of this is conjecture but if he quit it is harder to claim he was run-off.

    I have no idea why he is no longer on the roster and wish him well.

    He may not play in 2019, but he’s likely already downloading everything he knows to the UF staff. This may require signal changes and some scheme wrinkles when the Cocktail Party rolls around.

    He was apparently replying to some info stating he basically quit. But that tweet was deleted for being paid info (247 I would guess). Anyone know what said info is

  • Bulldawg1982Bulldawg1982 Posts: 4,573 ✭✭✭✭✭ Graduate

    Sorry, didn't realize that. They took it down quick but I made a screenshot of all 4 pages that were up. I'll have to summarize it in a little bit when I get a sec..

  • JayDogJayDog Posts: 5,558 ✭✭✭✭✭ Graduate

    I meant the decision to attend Florida. Given the culture of that program, doesn't seem as though he will get the discipline he needs. And I hope he didn't choose that school out of anger against Georgia's players or coaches. That could also be unfortunate in the long run.

  • RetiredRedcoatRetiredRedcoat Posts: 754 ✭✭✭✭✭ Graduate

    Oh I gotcha. It's clear we were referring to two different things. Yeah, I agree with you. If he picked Florida just to troll Georgia, I have two things to say about that.

    First, that would be enough to convince me that Georgia is consciously trolling Florida via recruiting. Otherwise why do the same thing in reverse? He would have to get the idea from somewhere.

    Second, he's's thinking emotionally and not rationally. Dunno if that's a recipe for success for the young man, regardless of where he goes. Here's to hoping for the best.

    @KetchupDrinker Although I really apperciate the info please don't post screen grabs from other websites. Just summarize what was said and provide a link to it.
