I just read where Wayshaun Ealey finally qualified for college and he will be donning the red and black next year.
Hold your horses.
I was at the Georgia Dome this year for the state championship where he was the second best RB...on his own team. Third best in the game.
Does he have talent? Yes. Was he injured during the game? Yes.
But he didn't look explosive like he did last year. And remember, he was explosive against Class-A competition.
I am not certain that we should be jumping for joy that this kid qualified because I haven't seen him on the college gridiron yet or even on the practice field against other college players.
Remember, we all thought Caleb King was going to be huge too.
I don't think this kid is the end-all, fix-all for the running back position. And that's OK. With Dick Samuel, CKing, Charlton Thomas and DJax (maybe the best of the bunch) I don't think this kid would be redshirting anyway. Let him get his academics in order before he starts thinking about football. And once he gets up to speed, turn him loose.
But let this O-Line and Joe Cox (with Aaron Murray) make the plays this year with a rotation of TBs and build for the future. Can this team win 10 games? Yes. 11 is also possible, but this team isn't contending for a title. Wayshaun isn't changing that.
He can be a part of the process but I doubt he will ever be the solution by himself. I hope I am wrong, but I don't think I am.
And if Cox slings it around enough to AJ and Michael Moore with Marlon Brown and the TEs, this team may not need any back to do more than 800. Maybe Caleb gets 800 with CThomas getting 650 and Dick Samuel throwing in 500. Heck give DJax 500 too and this team will be mostly a running unit. But Let Coxie throw it. He might surprise us all..... Alright fine. I'm a homer. Big shocker there!

Congrats, another great running back with outstanding academic credentials joins the mutts. He just might be exhibit the best of both worlds. The sticky hands of Samuel, and the toughness/blocking ability of King. Have the preseason publications gotten this news yet. It just might propel you guys to another preseason #1 ranking. 45-42, suck it!
I agree with you. i am not thrilled with this guy. As far as sucking it, you guys might want to pipe down. Since Mark Bradley of the AJC predicted GT's victory over the Dawgs, I am going to go ahead and chalk that one up for Georgia.
Mr suck it!,
Yeah, you go ahead and chalk that one up for the mutts. Ya'll only need to work on few things to keep from losing on the flats; toughness, stamina, tackling, attitude, fumbleitis, throwing the ball to your OWN team, defensive coaching, offensive play calling(when you're behind), and head coaching. Did I mention tackling? Take care of those issues, and you might have a fighting chance. It's not all bad news for you guys. Ya'll sure can dance well. 45-42, suck it!
