DJ Donley

Well seems to me if it was school problems then we should of done what was needed to keep him here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keeping DJ Donley and the rest of our recruits in school should be first priority NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES!!!!!!!
now we have lost one of our biggest playmakers, great.

No matter what it takes?

With some of these SA's that might mean having someone else do his coursework for him. Wouldn't be the first time. Saw some of it myself a good while back with a tall BB player that used to wear gaudy (IMO) chains around his neck and who can now be seen on TV regularly.

First of all DJ Donley appears to be a very good football player...but he's done nothing to be considered one of our biggest playmakers. He simply hasn't played that much. Also, just what does NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES mean? If it's grades, do we give him an A? If it's not liking ATL or the school itself, just what do you expect. No one has suggested on any thread I've seen on any board, that he actually flunked out. What seems to be the picture that's coming out is he simply does not like Tech. Not the football part, but the school itself. So how do you fix that?
 
yes pass the kid if its his grades. You people are ignorant to think that Matt Stafford, Jacob Hester, Glenn Dorsey, Percy Harvin, ever even have the slightest chance of not passing. It is neccessary to win.
I think most of you are jealous of student athletes and wish so bad you be one and dont want to see any SA get special treatment until you become a SA.
 
If Jonathan Dwyer is struggling in classes what are we gonna do? Let him fail? Are you serious?

You must not remember Tony Hollings do you? Players fail out of Tech all the time. SAs get all sorts of help, but at the end of the day no one lets them fail or lets them pass. It's all on them.

You're the one who can't be serious? First we don't know that Donley was having trouble in class. But besides that, you actually think we should just give grades to kids no mater whether they go to class? Seems to me you're pulling for the wrong school. Whether you like it or not, we don't do that at Tech.

That's purely and simply asinine.

DJ was not having academic troubles. Stop with this bad speculation (not talking to you ncjacket...to the general thread). He was fully qualified and eligible going into this semester and was not at risk.

He left on his own accord, didn't want to be here, so bye. There doesn't always have to be a perfect reason for someone to leave. Sometimes...they just do.

Believe it or not, Tech isn't great for everyone.

Another dumbass post of the year nominee! And it only took you something like 28 posts.
 
Yeah, my neighbor in my dorm was one of DJ's closest friends and he was over here all the time. My neighbor and DJ left at the same time, and from what I could tell, they just weren't into Tech and had some things to take care of at home. They were both good guys though and I wish them the best.

It's always nice when people who didn't go to Georgia Tech try and tell us about how things are run there...

He may not go here, but he is pretty right. You really have to try to fail out as a student athlete here. Speaking from personal experience, they are often given certain advantages, one way or the other, in addition to the personal tutoring that they get where they basically get brought through step-by-step. Now, if you just blow off class every day and don't show up for tests or do projects, then yeah, you're going to fail. Maybe at other universities SAs can do that, I don't know. But if they put in even a little bit of effort, any SA can easily pass their classes here.

I agree. SA even at GT have tutors its not like they dont have any help to pass classes. That said I dont think he left because of grades or the course work was to hard for him. Not claiming I know why he left but IMO it wasn't because of grades.
