Legitimate concerns for drafting a kid that will likely be dealing with a wrongful death lawsuit during his rookie year.
And somehow Ga tried to keep it all under the carpet and lay everything on this kid recruiter- including taking a vehicle without permission in order to escort these kids out to a club.
Why was a person from recruiting even out with them that night- hmmmmm, I wonder if he bosses knew about it? lol
But also let's be clear- the player driving and this young lady driving(.197) are still the villains- no one made her drink fall down drunk and drive- same with the player...

We all know how Meyer protected Aaron H. What I always remember is my son telling me that AH was far from the worst the NFL was hiding. Every team had players you all knew not to hang out with and how almost every team had players that would be doing serious time if they were not football players.
And that most of those players you knew about, were SEC and mostly from the states of Florida and Georgia
Wut?
The young woman who was driving 104 mph while intoxicated is on the hook for that. The kid who died was a passenger in her car.
Do editors exist anymore?
"LeCroy, 24, who was reported to be intoxicated and driving at 104 MPH, was trapped behind the steering wheel and rushed to a nearby pronounced, where she was pronounced dead."
May have. But did he serve the young woman drinks and tell her to drive 104 mph while she was drunk? Sorry, I don't get it.
Yes, I know. But he was not drunk and driving the car that killed two people. I'm not trying to be crass. Some lawyer will bring some case against him, because he will likely be the only deep pocket (or only pocket). But at a certain point, the two people in the other car, particularly the driver who was drunk should bear a huge percentage of any liability.
Georgia is a comparative negligence State, and it is codified. As explained on a Georgia attorney website:
"if the plaintiff is found to be 50% or more negligent when compared to defendant(s), then he is barred from recovering anything."
Seems that the occupants of the other vehicle who died could readily be found to more than 50% negligent. IMO, this is a just result. It places responsibility on the more negligent party(ies).

The deep pockets is the university. You had a university employee at a strip club with player and recruits, some of which may have been underage. Then driving drunk while racing at speeds over 100 mph.Yes, I know. But he was not drunk and driving the car that killed two people. I'm not trying to be crass. Some lawyer will bring some case against him, because he will likely be the only deep pocket (or only pocket). But at a certain point, the two people in the other car, particularly the driver who was drunk should bear a huge percentage of any liability.

I agree with you on that point. UGA will probably pay mightily. Usually the court will review items such as was the employee acting in the scope of his/her employment, and in this case, it appears that she was doing that.
But this was about Jalen Carter. I'm not a personal injury attorney, but from my recollection from torts in law school is that Carter may not face any liability here.
Also, back to comparative negligence:
"Willock, who was sitting behind the driver’s seat, was not wearing his seatbelt and thrown from the vehicle."
"Recruiting staff member Victoria Bowles, 26, who was not wearing a seatbelt in the right rear passenger seat, suffered serious injuries in the crash."
Checked the strip club- patrons can be 18 to watch dancers. Not sure who was underaged, but certainly none of the people who were injured or killed. The fact that there MAY have been underage recruits is a non-factor in the accident. Just being objective here. Feel badly for the parents of the the player from NJ. This is a parent's worst nightmare.
