UGA RB commit remains ineligible for 2024 GHSA football season
Bo Walker, a running back committed to the Georgia football program, can’t suit up for his team’s opening game Friday night because the GHSA has not approved his eligibility.
Comments
Seems to me he should never have been ruled to be ineligible. With a name like Bo Walker he has to be outstanding and somewhere out there is a running back named Herschel Jackson.
This definitely wasn't the case when I was in high school (back in the stone ages). We got a new coach my junior year and he brought at least 4 players with him.
He should argue that the coach followed him, which is not against the rules🤔
Hopefully he'll get to keep his NIL money. 😝 What!?
CHDawg54——really liking your ideas—he's got to be really good!
Key word here is “follows.” If he arrived first by definition he’s “leading” not “following.” This may be too complicated a concept for the GHSA folks.
Its a good rule to have and it should be used in college football as well. Also, you will never convince me that this wasnt arranged prior to the kid enrolling and the coaching change being announced. A greedy coach mucked up the kids eligibility.
the kid should be allowed to play. His family found a legitimate loophole and used it. It’s called a hardship. This shouldn’t be so difficult.
I hope he plays well if/when he gets to UGA, but we fans need to be honest about these things, even when it's a kid we support. This high school transfer is as bogus as a $3 bill. This is a 17- or 18-year-old kid moving down the road to help his GREAT grandaddy out? I'm not sure how that will be as he tries to play high-level competitive football, but that fact notwithstanding, I'm wondering where are his (Bo's) parents or, pray tell, his grandparents? Just seems like there's a couple of generations in the mix here that at least need to be accounted for in this story somehow. Also, just seems odd that great-granddaddy needed this help just a month before the new high school coach came aboard from, of all places, the same schll where his great grandson was a star. I'm shocked. Shocked, I say! Come on folks. Do the right thing. Go Dawgs!
Everybody get off your soapbox, he transferred BEFORE the coaching change! JHC!
