Let he who is without offense throw the first stone. Sometimes the world seems overrun with stone-throwers. Let Kirby coach. If, instead of a stone, he decides to extend an empty hand to help reform a kid's life... It could be a wonderful storyline during a championship run, too.
Hey. if he can run a 4.3 !!!
No seriously, I'm all for second chances, my question would be: did the kid get the proper help he needed. He was either high(fell asleep) while holding a pistol(is he off the drugs and gotten rehab) or(and) he was afraid of someone harming him(who would that be, is he involved with some gang stuff) or he was thinking of hurting someone else(bad relationship with a girl) or himself or both. IF you don't know the answers then you are simply rolling the dice.
I assume CKS knows the details that we don't. Trust Kirby
For all of you who are saying, in so many words, "we must really be in trouble in the secondary", HELLO, the coaching staff and all knowledgeable fans/onlookers have been saying this since this year's secondary losses to the nfl.
Possessing and carrying a firearm in Georgia is not against the law. In this day and time, a "small amount of marijuana", come on, really??
Thousands of people in GA possess firearms, (legally), but they don't fall asleep in their car with it in their lap. Not the end of the world but speaks more to the kid's state of mind. What was his intent? Firearms are made to kill stuff. Only one person mentioned the pot.
I believe in second chances but I believe more in actions. I live by "words are manufactured but action is truth" you can say what you want but your your actions will define you. Now with that said, I do not know Derion so I have no clue as to his history other than what is said here. So I'll yield to Kirby and the administration to determine whether UGA is the place for him to get that 2nd chance.
My concern is who in house is reading the writing on the wall and about to enter the portal. Is this move going to be worthy and concrete enough to risk losing one or two of the guys we already have. Is this a starter issue or depth issue. You know Kirby likes them deep and plays a lot of guys. Can we keep them happy. We have talent and you need lots of it but you also can overload and lose some important pieces. I'm gonna trust Kirby to make the right decision and I'll remain a supporting fan!
yes...we definitely want this guy
