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.:crazy:

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.

What?!?!! You don't transfer to a private, Christian school so you can graduate in the state of GA. My kids have been to both and a GA private Christian school is MUCH harder than Parkview would have been. Do you know that he played in almost every game this season? UT, among many, many others recruited him hard. Did all of these schools know that he "may not be smart enough to learn schemes"?!?!

Are you just making $#*% up as you go along?!?!

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.

Westminster and Pace are way out of the price range for most families, and they're in different areas of town from where he lives. I don't know why he transferred and neither do you, we're both speculating. I do know this for a fact though, since I've been through the process, the GHSA is very, very, very strict on these issues. They investigate EVERY case of transfers with a fine tooth comb when it comes to athletics. My son had to play jv soccer his jr year after transferring, even though he would have been a star on the varsity. We did everything we could to get GHSA to allow him to play but they would not bend one iota. He's now in his sr year and headed on to college to play. Now when I see where a kid transferred in GA, I know that it's above board. King transferred, he made his grades, he passed his SAT and he's at UGA, where I'd bet he will be very successful. Our debating won't change any of those facts. Thanks for the well wishes for my son. Good luck to the Vols on '09, except for one game.:good!:

I'm sure it was probably just a matter of a private school "recruiting" a player in return for tuition help and getting them out of the public school system.

There was not GHSA investigation because he left Parkview with the blessing of the AD and football coach. Why did they release their star player you might ask? Because he would not have been eligible to play his senior year and the AD knew that would hurt his college offers.
I have met Caleb, he is a great young man. I wish him well. But, to believe that the private schools in GA do not know how to "skirt" the rules and make sure all the paperwork is filled out properly, is just ignorance.

the private schools in every state know how to skirt the rules.

I live in GA and I've been through the process with my son in transferring from a lage public high school to a Christian private school, and I've seen how the GHSA investigates EVERY transfer to the nth degree. But apparently some of you know more about this process than I do.

I live in GA also. I am an athletic equipment supplier to every major school system in GA. I an very well "plugged in" to the GHSA and athletics in GA.

I understand that you and your son went through an "nth degree", I am beginning to like that phrase, process. This process must have been triggered by a formal complaint from the AD at your son's public school. When the school that a player is leaving gives written approval of the transfer, it is no big deal as far as the GHSA is concerned. So, yes, I probably do know more about the overall process, not your individual process, than you do.
