A Change of Heart

As the February signing day period nears things will begin to get more and more hectic. You will have players deciding on choices and coaches scrambling to make last second offers and tough decisions as scholarship numbers dwindle.

In the case of the University of Georgia an one of their 4 star prospects, BJ Butler, it seems that someone had a change of heart. Some sources said that this was the University deciding to drop Butler and others say Butler felt more comfortable with Louisville. Only the two sides know the real truth. BJ Butler is going to be sorely missed on the field, this 6'3 240 lbs. defensive end who played quarterback has quickness and speed that is tough to find on the defensive line. I mean the kid can really run and once he gets a chance in the weight room he will be a terror off the edge.

The big concern with BJ is his issues that had him suspended for his final two high school games. Apparently, he was dismissed because coaches thought he was un-coachable. Some sources say that is why Georgia dropped him. I hope this isn't the case, because in college that is the quickest way out of a scholarship. I mean BJ has all the talent in the world and coupled with great coaching by new head coach Charlie Strong, and a great work ethic the sky is the limit for BJ.

Whether it was the right fit at Georgia or not is irrelevant. It is the nature of the business kids will come and go within programs. BJ has chosen another place to play and now Louisville has a great chance to improve their defense. I hope the best for both schools as well as BJ.
