Agree. There was no point in Eason applying for a waiver with Browning still there as a sr. It would have been a wasted year of eligibility if he had played in mop up duty. Ive seen several people make the above comment regarding Eason not getting a waiver. It’s an altogether uninformed thought.
Did any one really think he would not be eligible? Once they granted Felicia, then the writing was on the wall. NCAA could not be totally outright bias with Tate and Miami.
^ Similar to a fan of one team, joining a message board of another ?
Because Browning was a senior QB that had lots of PT. He was the pronounced man. Even if Eason could of beaten him, I'm not sure the result would of been worth the team turmoil it would of caused. Eason knew the door would be wide open for him this year to step in and show off what he's got.
When Martell was interviewed before the Rose Bowl, didn't he say that Day had promised him the starting job? I wasn't totally paying attention but I thought I heard a reporter asking him if he had talked to Day and Day had promised he would be the starting qb. If that is true then I could see how he got the waiver.
Also has anybody ever looked up info on JF1's quaterback guru? I tried and couldn't find anything in his past jobs that could possible make him a guru in anything much less a quarterback guru.
College football free agency is upon us. Some may think it "fair" for the players, but we'll soon see how bad it is for the sport. It is quite possible that what we think is, "fair" ends up hurting not only the sport, but many players. The grass is not always greener on the other side of the fence. It will be a hard lesson as careers and potential is wasted.
it seems like all it takes to be granted eligibility is a player’s desire to show “an absence of trust”. Hard to argue how someone “feels” in any environment, similiar to an HR review in corporate. When someone drops “I feel”...argument over. I’m sure they’ll be some rule changes within next 24 months, but this current process is a new form of free agency.
I hope that someone, somewhere in a position of authority in college football reels this back in somewhat, or to some degree. This current "Free agency" in college football (in the long term) is not going to be a good thing IMO.
The grass may be just as green or greener but it's still got to be mowed. That's what a lot of these kids don't want to do.
So, Eason could play this upcoming season, and earn an undergraduate degree. Then, If Fromm decides to become the a first round NFL pick and thus leaves after his junior year....
...Eason could come back to UGA as a graduate transfer and play on the big, big, big stage for the Dawgs a year to make himself into a first round NFL pick.
I said "If Fromm decides to become the a first round NFL pick" because it seems apparent to me that Jake Fromm can do anything he set his mind to do.
Go, Dawgs!
YEEEEES!!!!
NCAA is totally milquetoast on transfers and doesn’t want to offend anyone over their supposed “hardship”....but break some silly, nit-noid recruiting rule and they will throw the book at you.
They have sent the message that you need to lie, cover up, and stand up to them... otherwise you'll be made an example of. I hope UGA got this message in case it's ever needed.
