We’ve always done this kind of stuff for our players," Alabama coach Nick Saban told the AJC on Monday. "We’ve had players that had Hodgkin’s disease and couldn’t play. We had a guy last year who … couldn’t pass his physical and is still going to school here. So whenever it’s allowed by NCAA rules, we always try to do the best we can for the player.

"Elisha Shaw was committed to us for a long time. We thought he was a good player. Certainly, it wasn’t his fault that he got hurt. We’re all about trying to create opportunities for guys, and give them opportunities. Elisha was a guy, since he was committed to us, we wanted to see if there was anything we could do to give him the opportunity to get education here even though he was medically disqualified to play.
"We were really just trying to take care of our own."

Bulldog Jonathan Taylor Arrested For Aggravated Assault. - Dawg Sports via rbr

Weiszer has no details of the arrest, but you'll recall that Taylor was among the four players arrested this spring as part of that tuition check "double dipping" incident. Two of the four (Uriah Lemay and Tray Matthews) are already off the team, leaving only Taylor and his Jenkins County High School teammate James Deloach. While I earnestly hope that this is some sort of misunderstanding, if it's not then it likely spells the end of Taylor's career in Athens.


Glass houses and what not but here's yet another example of UGA's not-so-much of a discipline problem..
