Caleb King?????

A buddy of was telling me that he has heard that Caleb King may be ineligible for the bowl game. Has anyone else heard of this? And that it maybe due to grades and that he will possible have to pass 15 hours in the spring and another 6 in the summer to be eligble for the 2011 season. Can someone out there with an inside source verify this? Wlayton????????

I don't know if it's true or not.

BUT

On my flight back from Jacksonville I did sit beside a certain family member of a current dawg and she is close to the King family and said that Caleb was starting to go down the wrong road. And it all goes back to when he got in trouble in walton co and was arressted for his drivers license. That it all has to do with his brother that is getting him into trouble.

So I would not be shocked if this was true.

I heard he's academically ineligible but not from a good source.

Update:

From Hedges to Hardwood:

In particular, those three to four that gave two members of our football team F's on their grade report. One of these fine specimens of academic achievement is reportedly starting RB Caleb King. Of course this is third/fourth hand info from us and was originally reported by Anthony Dasher of UGASports.com (We're one of those bloggers who does, in fact, give credit to sources). The other player has yet to be named, but if I had to venture a guess, I'd say it's probably a guy on defense who doesn't play much.

Before my head explodes, I'd like to state again that I don't like to call attention to players for things out of their control, which includes football ability, etc. Just as you were expecting, here comes the "but". To Caleb and whomever else couldn't keep their academic house in order, this is inexcusable behavior. Sub-par performance on the field is one thing, but a general distaste for abiding by the rules and being a good STUDENT athlete are a real cause for concern. Unfortunately, conduct like this is becoming a trend in Athens.

Heard the guy from UGASports.com say he wont play this morning.


One more reason for IC to come here maybe?????

Well I've been a CT fan all season time for the little guy to step up!!!

Checked with my guy and he also confirmed he's out because of grades.
