Brandon Morris ruins a nice offseason

This is not good.  But it sure had been a nice offseason until today, right?


Fox dropped hints about Brandon Morris' maturity last year after benching him for a few games.  Looks like there may be more maturing that needs to happen.

First, to state the obvious, this is not good for Brandon Morris.  Not many details have been released, but any day that ends with you being found with enough drugs to earn an "intent to distribute" charge is not a good one.

Second, this is not good for Georgia's depth chart.  I mentioned in a previous post that, if a few things fell Mark Fox's way, Georgia could be a team with real depth heading into the 2015 season.  What I didn't say, and what was probably understood, is that Georgia does not have great depth right now.

We will have to wait and see how everything shakes out, but even if Morris stays on the team, he likely won't be available until SEC play.  There are options at the 3 and the 4 (the spots you'd be most likely to find Morris on the court), but his raw athleticism and some of the unique things he brings to the court (an ability, in a pinch, to bring the ball up the court and run the offense, for example) will be tough to replicate during any sort of suspension.
