If he put on 75 pounds, he'd be a GREAT offensive tackle!
(In the track and field world, there's a running joke about the common backhanded compliment some people make about white sprinters: "If he moved up to the 400 meters or 800 meters, he'd be great!" You see this even with people like Cristophe Lemaitre or Adam Gemeli, both of whom were near-world class as 19-20 year olds as 100-200 runners.)
Certainly this is legitimate. Even though he has not played a game since November, was not in any post-season all-star game I'm aware of, and so nothing has changed except he flipped to Georgia. Maybe they gave him a star for the length of the leap?
As I said in another post. This scholly was all about money and politics. Shades of Burt Jones.Remember him. He is now in politics. I think a state representative from Butts County. UGA will probably not lose a scholly because he will probably pay his way in some sort of donation, but get the publicity of a UGA Scholarship.

Bobby Godd never, not once, ever blamed his boys for a loss. It was always on his shoulders, and his shoulders alone. That is greatness. This is not. --YukonWreck
