Ummmmmmm…….a 2.9 GPA, 920 on the SAT, and a 19 on the ACT is not that good. So, he’s a c student that does just ok on tests.

Darren - take your time and visit Bama, LSU, Auburn, Purdue and Notre Dame -do what is right for you.

At the end of the day - I hope you will have a sense of pride after comparing these good universities to your own State’s flag-ship university. I hope that what you will see that UGA has an incredible campus, incredible well rounded athletic dept., a heck of a good football team, an amazing staff that is dedicated to the development of their players - both academically and athletically - and is a program that will be in the national spotlight for several years to come.

However and more important - the academic reputation at UGA is top notch. A top 25 public university - and within 90 minutes drive so your family can visit and watch games….yet far enough from home that you are away and have a sense of being on your own.

Best of luck to you.

Come to UGA so that they can put you in remedial studies (don’t even think that you are going to be put into any kind of worthwhile degree program), live in Butts-Mehre,totally seperated from actual students, where you will learn to play pool and video games with the best of them. Hopefully you will keep your head on straight and not get arrested like many of your teammates.

Hey Lewis Grizzard. Perhaps he could go to GT and get one of those worthwhile Management degrees. Oops, that’s right. You CAN”T get a Management degree from GT. Instead, you get a nice, framable “certificate”.

Live in Butts-Mehre? Did they build new dorms in the basement or something?

Do any of you know it all Dawg fans know that Darren Myles, Jr is originally from Louisiana and has plenty of family there? Enough already with the “your state flagship school. His father was born anr raised in Louisiana and the kid was raised in Louisiana. You figure out the rest. **LSU-BCS NATIONAL CHAMPIONS 2003,2007

Well, Well….As a marginal student, this guy should probably go by the Clarke County jail and talk to the High Sheriff and get a special cell made ready. I smell trouble for the program and several other recruits at UGA. UGA Poodles!!!!

Wow Ogeechee Dawg, it is a good thing you came on here and explained all that to the player. I’ll bet he will commit as soon as he reads such wise words!I’m sure he has has Never heard all of those very astute points before. You should become a coach because your recruiting skills are amazing!

920 on the SAT? Is that based on the old 1600 scoring basis, or the new 2400 basis? That’s pathetic.

Kid, if you go to UGA in the following years (even after your out of school), you will always be remembered and loved by an entire state. Go somewhere else and you probably just need to moved to that state to be remembered.

This kid should take his time and visit all of these schools. Make the right descision for yourself young man. As far as the test scores and GPA are concerned. I have seen students apply themselves and do really well, at UGA. After not doing well on the SAT. Just remember coach Richt and his staff are class acts. They care about their players as a total person.

Darren:

Yeah, make sure you stop by Bama and pick up some spending cash for your trip from Nick Satan. I am not a LSU fan but Bama is about the easiest SEC school to get into that is not in MS.

Yeah, Ohio State is gonna beat anyone in the SEC in a bowl game - it has never happened and it won’t this year, too. OSU should be banned from any NC games - period (I am not an UGA fan either).

ND and Purdue & others in the Little 10 - are you shying away from playing the top competition? You might as well go to Duke with those great scores and then you can focus on the easiest conference (ACC).

Ok. I made a 940 on the SAT in 7th grade(Seriously) and Im by no means a real smart guy. Maybe the dawgs should recruit people who have a chance of passing.

This is wonderful for a school like Carver. It has been a long time since the Panthers had a good football program. Hang in there young man and get your free education. While your at it play some good football.

Hey, all you Rhodes Scholars out there. I see constant criticisms of an athlete’s GPA and SAT scores, be it a UGA recruit or any other recruit for that matter. What was yours?

Come to Georgia Tech Darren…With Johnson at the helm and his fabulous staff we will pummel the ACC and SEC foes. Paul Johnson loves to coach hands on. He won’t quit until the cream rises to the top and that’s where he’s going to take us…to the top.

Come to Tech!!!

Hey rainbow jacket. Put the cork back in the bottle and drink some coffee to sober up. The only thing Johnson has accomplished so far is replacing Gailey. GT will pummel the ACC and SEC foes? Wake up and get back to your game of dungeons and dragons.

Would love for you to stay in Ga and play your college football. There many advantages to staying close to home and making good contacts.

Whatever you decide, best of luck, it is an exciting time in your life, enjoy yourself.

Rainbow. How can expect Darren to play at GT? After all, you guys constantly beat your chest about your superior academics. A kid with these grades will hardly become a “helluva engineer”.

I bet you have been kissed before though….You probably could make this kids cream rise to the top just like you claim Paul Johnson is going to do for Tech.

The young man may not be a genius, but having a top-flight SEC footballer and a star student at the same time is one possible harbinger of the apocalypse. I say he can get as good an education at UGA as he can anywhere else if he really wants it. That’s entirely up to him. His dad seems like a responsible type, so he’s way ahead of the game on that score. I hope he comes to Athens. Oh, and that remark about Ohio State beating the Dawgs for all the marbles - you might be right. Nobody can lose forever! OSU is bound to beat an SEC team someday, if only because of the laws of probability, and they’re certainly overdue.

Absolutely, go to UGA where your 2.9 will fit in quite nicely in your pursuite of Nutrition Science or perhaps Health and Physical Education or maybe even a degree in Wildlife.

Roony. If UGA is so bad, where would you suggest he go? GT has their crip “Management” program. Have you ever looked at it? You can’t even earn a degree. All you can “earn” is a certificate. I’m sure it will look cute in a frame, but what will that get you? I recently received a certificate for a free kids meal at Burger King.

Why are some of you putting the kid down for having a 2.9 GPA? If it were a 3.0, I doubt I’d hear as many of you knocking him. Plus, some kids aren’t the greatest test takers so get over the SAT stuff.

The bottom line is he qualifies to go to UGA or any other big time program. I hope he goes to UGA, makes good grades, and becomes a successful citizen. If he doesn’t go to UGA, I still wish him well.
