Are you just making $#*% up as you go along?!?!
Alright GA Homer, tell me why he transfered ONLY for his senior year? I guess you think it was to play at the football "powerhouse" program at GAC. NOT!

CRM said this year that the reason he did not play more was because he did not "know" the blocking schemes.

I know for a fact that he was GIVEN grades at GAC....period! He, in no way met the entrance requirements, except for his athletic ability.
GAC is not there for academics. It is there as an extention of the Church. I have family that attend and teach there. The info comes from the INSIDE.
You sir are the one that has no clue. (by the way, is the head football coach that brought King into GAC, still the head coach?)

"GAC is not there for academics" and the sole purpose of GAC was to give Caleb King grades!? I guess they can close the school now because their job is done. And your "family that (who)attend and teach there" are out of a job/school.
I have a second cousin twice removed who has a step-brother who has a son who attends Creekside who says Eric Berry got homecomming king because the principal (a UT grad's uncle) wanted him to go to UT. And that's from the INDSIDE

One more thing. You, a UT booster, knew that King was not academically eligible and you sat idlely by while UT offered him a scholarship?!?! Should I contact SEC officials and have UT investigated?!?! I'll direct them to your screen name.

Feel Better?
Facts are hard to take aren't they.
You did not respond to the FACT that he transfered from Parkview after his Jr year where he was having trouble making the grades to play. Them, all of a sudden, he has NO PROBLEM making good grades at a "higher standards" GAC, HUUUMMMM!
I never said he was not, on paper, eligible.

Tell me why your own coach said he could not learn the blocking schemes?

Dude, I don't know where you get your "facts", maybe you have a little fantasy world in your head and you think it's reality. But just because you dream something up doesn't make it a "FACT" now does it......"HUUUMMMM!" If you step out of your fantasy world for a moment and use some logic, if you have the ability, you'd realize that HS players who want to land in a big SEC school don't transfer to private Christian schools in order to do so. Parkview is a football powerhouse and they send lots of players onto college football, UGA in particular.

King is at UGA, get over it. And after the UGA/TN game this year you and I can discuss his ability to learn schemes. Until then, go back to Oz and see if the wizard has any extra logic.

DUDE, that is exactly MY point. King was not making the grades, at Parkview, to stay eligible to play. He transfered SO THAT he would be able to play his senior year and "land" in a big SEC school.
You seem to be confusing what I am saying here. Any SEC school would have taken him. I do not give a rip that he is at UGA. The original point that I made is still undisputed by you and your weak attempts to discredit me. He was not pulling a high enough GPA at Parkview and transfered to a private Christian school where he was given good grades so he could play and "land" at a big school.
Don't make it personal, UT would have taken him and he would be struggling to learn the schemes there also.
I will go back to my fantasy world now. Have a great day.

You're forgetting one thing, he qualified grade-wise and SAT-wise to get into the second or third hardest university to get into in the SEC.

And I don't know how they do things where you live, but in the state of GA, private Christian schools follow the rules to the nth degree. Trust me on that one. Some public schools and some non-Christian schools may bend the rules some, but as a father of a kid who transferred to a private Christian school his sophmore year, they know and follow the rules. Caleb King was much too high a profile for GAC to do something that stupid. You can believe that the GHSA had a magnifying glass on his transfer moreso than they had on my son's, which was significant.

We'll agree to disagree but I'll never believe that GAC gave King grades. And if they did they should be investigated and sanctioned.

GACS is not known as a difficult school. Their SAT scores are on par with many Gwinnett public high schools and they rarely send kids to so-called elite colleges. Unless UGA, Clemson, Lipscomb, Abilene, and Harding are your idea of elite. That said, I agree with you that King didn't transfer there to pass.

Once again, your wisdom is showing. Look under my avatar and see where I live.

I said he was elibible on paper. I never said GAC got in trouble for breaking any rules. He did make the SAT requirement.

Now, answer my question as to why he transfered after his Jr year from the, in your own words, "football powerhouse" of Parkview. When I called GAC a football powerhouse it was tounge in cheek because they are not. What GAC IS, can in no way be concidered an elite academic school. Which is why King chose to transfer there. Not Westminster, not Pace, not ANY of the truly academic private schools in ATL area.

I WILL believe the faculty member of GAC that told me he should never have been admitted into GAC because of his grades. I WILL believe the GAC faculty member that told me he was "helped along" in his studies.

Good luck to your son in his school.

NO, your right, he would have "passed" at Parkview. He just would not have been eligible to play football.
