Jay Jones Transferring

[Adadu]

Jay Jones put a post up on Instagram indicating that he is leaving the program. Looks like its LJ and Quon.

Clues were there late in the season that LJ was#2. Wish the kid luck.

Too bad. I wish CPJ had played other QBs some real minutes this year, including Jay.

I'd expect about 5-8 current players with eligibility to leave this off season. It happens every year.

Goddamnit. So sick of this ****.

With LJ and Quon ahead of him and Tobias waiting this doesn't surprise me, wishing nothing but the best for Jay!

Goddamnit. So sick of this ****.

What ****? Assuming that he lost the competition to LJ, would you really expect a kid to sit for 4 years with no opportunity to ever start, except in an emergency role?

If a guy in your own class beats you out, your routes to playing time are limited, and I have a hard time blaming a 19 or 20 year old for wanting to play.

Slow your roll. It's not Jay I'm upset with.

Fair enough. Who are you upset with? LJ for winning the competition? PJ for deciding the winner of a competition?

Rumored that he was struggling with the academic portion. Hope he finds the answers he's looking for. Best of luck

Lucas Johnson could be the starter next year

 

[JacketFromUGA]

Nothing but good wishes for him

 

[Lavoisier]

Kid could be deadly in an offense that lets QBs improvise a lot like Louisville's system.

 

[Madison Grant]

Don't we still have the freshman Oliver from Warner Robins who redshirted too? Seems like I heard he had a good fall camp. Graham kid needs to come play for the home state team instead of VPISU.

Man that stinks, arguably our most athletes guy on the team.

This is why CPJ needs to go!

The part to be sick of as noted above is losing good athletes for things most schools don't have to deal with (Academics, drugs...). He had an almost guaranteed opportunity to have 2 years being the feature guy and face of the program. This transfer screams academics to me.

 

[SteamWhistle]

I’m so done. This sucks, tough times don’t last...

 

[flea77]

GT loses more to academics than the entire SEC does to weed... GT is a hard place.

Why? JJ didn't win the startin job. CPJ clearly stated that JJ is a QB. If he would have stayed, maybe he could have won the starting job in 2018 and been the starter for 3 years. I'm not made at JJ for his decision though.

Y'all are way overblowing this. Is Jay a special athlete? ABSOLUTELY. I would love to see him on the field for us, no doubt about it. I want him playing for us. With that being said, transferring is a part of collegiate athletics. If guys don't like where they are, or they need a better situation, they'll transfer. I don't see anything wrong with this; if Jay is happy, and this is the move for him, so be it. I'm happy for him. We will be just fine without him, and he will be just fine without us.
