...love the headlines. Unfortunately for them, it seems to be negative headlines most of the time. Ealey and King are a frustrating pair. They both came in with such promise, and yet they always find a way to underwhelm. Caleb King will apparently not be able to play in the bowl game due to academic ineligibility. Color me not surprised.
So, we've seen King suspended for two games for an arrest, missing two games for an injury, fumble issues, and now he's academically ineligible for a bowl game. Then there's also the rumor-run-rampant about the NCAA investigating a "loan" he received from his girlfriend, and did not repay, but - as it turned out - nothing came of it. So in the spirit of Cam Newton, he's innocent. Then you've Ealey, who was also arrested for hit-and-run and suspended, fumbling issues, that full-on punch he took at his own teammate in front of the home crowd at the spring game, and a very public missed block in the Arkansas game. Many thought these guys could be a monster tandem that accumulated 1,000 yards each this season with a young QB at the helm. But they've only totaled 1181 yards between the two of them.
These guys just can't seem to get it together, despite some fleeting bright moments in both of their college careers.
I don't think it can be overstated how much we need an Elite RB--maybe even more than any other position. Neither guy runs better than a 4.6...and if you cant outrun 'em, you better be able to run OVER them---which then cannot do with regularity either. So, slower than average without lots of power= not good enough for UGA.
ReplyDeleteLet's hope a certain Carver RB comes to Athens...
Ealey rescued a bus driver from a bus crash. DON'T JUST REPORT THE NEGATIVE!!!!
