UGA is imploding…again…
Posted by hoopsknowitall on July 9, 2008
More loss for Felton at Georgia, this time in the form of Jeremy Jacob – a sophomore-to-be that saw six games before enduring a stress fracture in his left foot and missing the rest of the season who has decided to transfer out of the program.
Jacob, a 6′7″, 210lb. forward, averaged 5.2 points and 3.3 rebounds per those six games in just 14.8 minutes per game.
Jacob was set to serve as the sixth/seventh man in the lineup this coming season and likely moving into the starting lineup as a junior.
This leaves Felton with just seven scholarship players returning next season, and just three of those upper-classmen. While this seems like an unfortunate circumstance for the Bulldogs – I’ll imply this again…this has been nothing short of a trend with Felton’s program and eventually the blame has to be put squarely on his shoulders.
This man’s lack of success has simply been his fault, and things need to change at that program.
And this begs the question…was Georgia’s miracle run in the SEC Tournament good for that program in the long-run, or was it a hinderance in the form of allowing Felton another year at the helm?
I’m inclined to believe the latter.
