UPDATED: Georgia LB Jarvis Jones cleared to play by NCAA
ATHENS – Georgia not only got good news from the NCAA regarding the eligibility of Jarvis Jones, it got it fast.
Jones, a sophomore linebacker from Columbus, was determined to have not violated any NCAA rules and therefore will be eligible to play every game for the Bulldogs this season, UGA confirmed on Tuesday. Georgia received the news from the NCAA on Monday night, exactly one week after filing the report on its internal investigation with the SEC.
“I think the NCAA is making a concerted effort to turn things around as quickly as possible,” Georgia athletic director Greg McGarity told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “We’ve been hearing in these various meetings they were going to try to do a better job of that. So we’re just thankful NCAA was able to do that in this case. Whether the decision was up or down, we’re able to move forward now. At the end of the day that’s all schools want.”
Last year the Bulldogs had to wait until the second week of the regular season to learn from the NCAA that wide receiver A.J. Green would have to sit out four games for violating NCAA rules. UGA held Green out of the first game on its own.
“I appreciate the work of our compliance office for its time and effort in providing a thorough, comprehensive report and I’m thankful for the timely manner in which the NCAA reviewed and evaluated all the facts to reach a decision,” Georgia coach Mark Richt said in the statement. “We’re ready to move on with preparations for our season opener.”
Richt was not made available to reporters on Tuesday.
The NCAA’s decision is significant for Georgia as it prepares to open the season against a pair of highly-ranked opponents. The Bulldogs open against No. 7 Boise State on Sept. 3 in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game in the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, and follow that with a home tilt against No. 12 South Carolina in Athens.
Jones, a sophomore linebacker from Columbus, is slated to start at strongside linebacker for Georgia. He was having his eligibility reviewed after a police investigation into alleged corruption within the Columbus parks and recreation department revealed an administrator had provided benefits to him and basketball signee Kentavious Caldwell-Pope in the summer of 2009.
Jones’ relationship with that administrator, Tony Adams, was the center of UGA’s investigation. Adams reportedly paid for four flights for Jones to and from Los Angeles in the summer of 2009 as well as some other benefits. At the time Jones was a freshman signee at Southern Cal.
In its investigation, Georgia was able establish that Jones’ legal guardian, Shelley Stephens — who also worked for the rec department and flew with him to LA — had been in a long-term relationship with Adams.
“Based on the information that we reviewed, it was interpreted that it met the four-pronged test of an established relationship,” UGA compliance director Eric Baumgartner said.
The main criteria for meeting the stipulations of NCAA Bylaw 12.1.2.1.6 (preferential treatment, benefits and services) is that a relationship was established before a prospects ninth-grade year.
McGarity said Georgia has not yet completed its investigation of Caldwell-Pope. The five-star shooting guard from Greenville allegedly was using a cell phone that was paid for by Adams.
“We’re still processing that case,” McGarity said. “Jarvis’ situation was a little more urgent.”
Jones transferred to Georgia from USC — where he played in eight games as a true freshman — last summer and sat out per NCAA transfer rules. He’s a former AJC Super 11 player who was rated among the top linebackers in the nation.
Jones has not been available for comment but Tuesday night he addressed the news on his Facebook page. (Edited) “The right support, great mentors, friends/fans. I’m so grateful for everyone that’s in my corner. I put my trust in a higher power and not in man. No stressing, just hard work and dedication. Stand up Bulldog Nation, we have business to tend to. — #29″
Georgia launched an internal investigation earlier this summer and turned over its findings to the SEC office on Aug. 2. UGA declined the AJC’s open records requests under the Freedom of Information Act to view that report under the claim that the document was protected by a federal law protecting the privacy of students. The AJC disputed that claim.

Since I now live in Bama, I am fully aware that Bama Bill, like the rest of this state, cannot read. If Bama Bill could read, he would know that the person that paid for the trip for Jarvis was/had actually dated Jarvis’ mother. Therefore, there was a pre-existing relationship. Not an infraction in NCAA rules…now go brush your tooth Bill.

For those (Bama Bill) who have no clue, the person Jarvis was receiving the “benefits” from was his LEGAL GUARDIAN, an employee of the Columbus Parks and Rec.
A LEGAL GUARDIAN happens to fall into the category of “person whom a relationship is established before the athlete becomes a recruit”.

UGA insider, it’s been reported by only a few sources, It was reported on college football fix and it was also in USA today.
Alabama’s doing everything they can to make the story go away but it dosn’t look good for the Tide. They have a big decision to make on weather they should play alot of players and Trent Richardson is one of them. This could easily play out like the AJ Green situation at Ga last year but with multiple players. Here’s a link for the story.

Looked at the roster and JJ is up to 241; Ogeltree to 236. The mikes are about 220, and Washington is huge. All are very fast for LBs. Even the 2s are very fast. The 3-4 really shines with fast LBs. It is tough to pick them up and at least one is rushing on most pass plays. I would not want to play QB against this D. You want Ogeltree or Jones coming after you? As fast as some RBs and 240 pounds of muscle…nightmares are made of such. Moore is a great QB, but at 6 ft and 190 pounds and 4 tenths of a second slower in the 40 than these LBs, he better hope his line is as good as advertised.

I think Jones was cleared because of the prior relationship factor (it was his mom’s boyfriend at the time), him signing with USC during this time, and him already having red-shirted. Why punish him further? Caldwell-Pope is a different set of circumstances entirely. None of the above factors apply to him. Otherwise, I believe he would have been exonerated also. The investigation for both players began at the same time. Or, maybe since football is 3 weeks away, the NCAA and SEC wanted to close Jones’ case first. Anyway, I think Kentavious is either going to miss games, repay the money, or both.

Oh, and lest I forget. Things are looking up for the Dawgs if any of the reports mean anything. I have never known Chip to fluff stories. Getting Jones back puts UGA’s LB corp on par with the best in the nation. This group will be the bellcow for the team this season. They will either make or break this team. We can get all excited about the freshmen, the speed, the running game, blah blah blah. The UGA LB corp needs to keep QB’s running and heads popping from game 1 to 12

Dawgs on Fire – I understand your enthusiam – however, UGA will not be shutting down Boise St. Boise will score some points – I assure you that.
The questions are:
1. How much can UGA’s defense slow Boise down.
2. Will UGA’s offense have enough continuity so early in the season to be effective?
UGA has a lot of areas to improve and address.
I think UGA will be much inproved this year – but will need some games to develop the continuity on offense. Look for UGA to develop into a monster by mid-end season.
Opening up with UGA is in Boise’s favor – with what we are returning.
Should be a great game – but being a homer – I think Boise will find a way to win.

I went to UGA and loved it. Did i play ball? Nope but using this rules, GT should have been on probation for what my family did for me and they openly tried to get me at GT.

Actually I think the case against Pope is weaker. At least In the particular Jones case, an actual NCAA institution could have been remotely connected. What connection does a paid phone bill for a relative have with an NCAA institution, or recruiting in general? Why is that even their concern?
It seems to me that they would have to determine that either A) it was used AS a benefit on behalf of some member institution, or B) the guy who paid it did so specifically to gain influence TO steer Pope to some member institution. Acting as an “agent”.
I suppose amateur status could be at issue if the boy used his athletic standing to gain benefit for himself(mother), but that seems like a tough thing to prove.

@Whiskey Breath…put down the bottle for a second and maybe you’ll learn something:
Jones had a neck injury that cut short his freshman season at USC.
He played in the first eight games of his true freshman (Yes I said FRESHMAN!) season with the Trojans and was being talked about as USC’s next great linebacker. He finished with 13 tackles and 1.5 tackles for loss.
Jones, then a freshman linebacker, sprained his neck in the Trojans’ eighth game and had to sit out the rest of the year.
After USC docs would not clear Jones for spring practice, he sought a second and third opinion and was told he should be able to continue his career but the Trojans still relented. He finally asked for and was granted a release from USC.
Jones was medically cleared by UGA doctors. He will have three years of eligibility remaining starting in 2011.
Jones was a 2008 AJC Super 11 selection who signed with USC in February of 2009 after a rigorous recruiting battle between Georgia, Florida, LSU and Texas. These are some pretty decent teams recruiting what you call a “USC reject”.
OK Whiskey, you can jump back in that bottle now. And as Fred Sanford would say, “You big dummy!!!!”

This is great news. It’s about time the NCAA made the correct decision in a timely fashion. I don’t know whether to be more surprised by the NCAA getting it right or by the AJC actually reporting a positive story about UGA.
Who knows if the trend continues maybe the intrepid reporters at the ajc will run the story about all the dead bodies found in ga tech’s athletic dorm instead of the rumour that one of UGA’s walk on players was 3 minutes late to breakfast.

Nothing Could Be Finer, your Chickens better do it this year because after Garcia nd Alshon are gone, you don’t have a prayer. Conner Shaw?? LOL! Lattimore cannot do it all by himself. The way UGA is recruiting and will recruit, it is just a matter of time before we are back. Enjoy it while you can. Sure, you did sign Clowney and he is a stud but that was the only real highlight of your class. UGA signed tons of studs and more importantly we got the best players in our coveted state. Sure, we cannot get em all but we’ll get our share. I keep hearing how South Carolina has several GA boys committed in the 2012 class, but most (not all) are not kids that UGA wanted. For the record, we currently have the number one player in the state of GA committed to us. His name is Jonathan Jenkins, and he is a beast at defensive tackle.

I just read this on the Boise State Blog posted by Robert James:
With the improved recruiting in the recent year for Boise State the size and speed issue normally facing a non BCS against an SEC opponent should be a non issue. With 7 returning starters, expect the Bronco offense to move the ball with relative ease against the Bulldog defense. Georgia will have a difficult time establishing the run in this match up and will have to relay heavily on the passing game. The Bronco defense should win this match up, also returning 7 starters on the opposite side. If the Bulldogs offense has to become one dimensional, with the Broncos shutting down the young and inexperienced rush attack, they will have to relay heavily on the passing game, and should put Georgia at a huge disadvantage. This game should be a easy win for Boise State
He says final score Boise 34 UGA 20. We should just cancel this game!

Funny. That goes to show you that all fans are biased for their team, but good for them. Everybody has to respect what BSU has accomplished in the last few years, with a bunch of 2 and 3 star recruits! We find out the reality in a few weeks. But, look at our 4.5/4.6 220-240 lb LBs compared to the 6ft 190lb 4.9 Kellen Moore for an example. His line better block as well as that blogger thinks they can–he can’t run from them, and he sure isn’t going to run them over! He isn’t big enough to take a hit. I would be scared if I were Kellen Moore. I’m sure he isn’t scared, but I certainly wouldn’t be going into this thinking it would be an easy win like the blogger recommends…

Nothing could be finer, I’m not a big fan of Bobo but I like the rest of our coaches. Grantham and Olividotti are both proven NFL guys. Our problem last year on defense was transitioning from a 4-3 to a 3-4. I look for our defense to be better this year, and back to the type defense that it was in the early and mid 2000’s. I live in Columbia and hear all I want to hear about the Chickens. Like i said, you better do it this year because your window is closing faster than you may think. Grantham is recruiting guys that he wants specifically for the 3-4 defense UGA’s defense will be nasty next year and the years after that.

God will nover leave you nor forsake you and just when it looks the darkest, is right before the dawn. Richt hung in there, had faith, persevered all the arrests, injusries, suspensions, players laeaving early, losing so many close games, so many penalties, having a losing season. He weathered the storm, kept his faith and his confidence that it would all be OK. Went on mission trips, selling his lake home to show God’s love to the least of us. He kept the faith and NOW he will reap what he has sown and UGA will be the beneficiary. God is faithful. If you do not believe that, watch the next 3 years. How many of these 4 and 5 star recruits would have come to UGA without Richt to begin with? Many would have went elsewhere. Lemay, Drew, Mitchell for sure. Thank God for Mark Richt. You might be about to witness a “miracle season”!

Boise in Atl:
Fair comments. I think the answer is that we don’t know how good UGA is going to be, but we know that Boise will be well coached and well prepared. The Dawgs D could shut down Boise or it could go the other way, we will certainly know in a few weeks.
The same goes for the UGA offense against the Boise D., we just don’t know. UGA could run wild passing and throwing or it could go the other way. I think one of the biggest keys to the game is the number of plays Georgia runs on offense. If we only get 60 plays, I am concerned. If we sustain the drives, I truly believe we can wear Boise down. I hope we don’t throw a lot of deep passes on 2nd and 8 and that we try to at least get 2 first downs and maybe get in field goal range for our excellent kicker.
Agree that playing this one as the opener favors Boise. Even if UGA wins the game, I would project that UGA will improve more throughout the season than Boise will.

True, Jarvis hasn’t played a down for UGA yet, but he is the better player according to the coaches and Chip’s view as well when compared with Chase Vasser (the guy who would likely play if Jarvis couldn’t.
Being able to start Jarvis (who may or may not be a star) and having Vasser be a solid backup is better for UGA than if he were to miss the key first couple of games with a suspension.
This is very good news for UGA.

One thing to note about JJ, he started for Big USC as a freshman. He may not have played a down for UGA, but he’s played for school that pumps out NFL linebackers and was a force. UGA’s recruiting class may not have been much last year, but picking him up was by far the biggest get in 2 years. This is the best news of the summer, along with having no news on arrests.

But I also grew up in South Georgia and followed the Bulldogs first under Butts and then Dooley as a kid….my older brother played against Bill Stanfield in basketball when he was at Cario HS….and two of my high school mates…who were seniors when I was a freshman in HS….played and started as bookend guards on the OL at Georgia….and I followed them through their time there, cheering them on…..until I went to Florida and became a Gator….but continued to cheer them on when they didn’t play the Gators). After high school, I received a scholarship to attend the University of Florida and graduated from there….and therefore am now a Gator. But my fondness for Bulldog football is still within me and a part of my immediate family (sister)……after the Gators of course…….but sometimes them as my 2nd favorite school is challenged by some of those who come on hear and post things that are downright juvenile, rude, and insulting. Therefore, I sometimes come on and poke fun at those types….but more often than not try to post intelligent things about what I read and think….both about Georgia and Florida…..and the SEC in general.

Chip,
You asked why include this ?
“NO interaction with any prospective student-athletes, nor can members of The Georgia Bulldog Club do anything for any current student-athletes”
For myself, I obviously knew about not doing anything for our players, but no interaction with any recruit, I don’t guess even I still do not understand. We are not allowed to say to a recruit the facts as we see it, facts we can clearly prove our points on that would help him decide that we need him.
If you want to know the truth, Greg needs to tell us that all even again, and this time be more specific than just all caps on NO.
This is great news on Jarvis Jones. The other benefits must fall under the category that his legal guardian was sleeping with Adams or something like that when Jarvis was still in the 8th grade. It also serves as a grim reminder to Georgia tek the difference in UGA and tek, and that is very clearly that Georgia tek does all it can do to hide EVERYTHING from the AJ-C and the NCAA while UGA just said, here it is. Print it, post about it, make a decision, and let us know either way – just tell us quickly. He obviously had benefits and that normally affects the athlete whether in this case it was when he was at Southern California whom the NCAA already burned with an NCAA Probation for just such actions by their supporters. Adams is not a good person from what I have gleaned of him. And, Jarvis Jones certainly had other benefits given to him with monetary value.
Very concerned that there was no Summary Judgment likewise on such an important member of our basketball team Kentavious Caldwell-Pope; as these 2 athletes are in my opinion 2 of the most important for both our football team and our basketball team. I don’t think anyone would guess that what Adams did with either was not wrong. The question I still have is, what does this mean no interaction with any recruit. Because I am a season ticket holder, I cannot say anything to any prospective recruit.
This is just not clear. Sorry.
