    Oh, well then he needs to wake up and realize that going to another team isn't going to change his lack of a career playing football.

    Am not an insider. Do not know the reason he is gone. Good luck to him if he transfers and I hope he finishes his education. Watched him his entire MSU career. He was given chances to succeed throughout his time at MSU, WR and punt returner ( took 5 years off my life watching his attempts to field punts) as a Freshman, more recently as a DB. Didn't I read on this board that he had threatened to leave b4? I know a DB has to have a short memory after he has been burned on a play and I loved Smoot, but I saw Smokey running his mouth against receivers in games when we were no doubt not going to win and also making hand gestures that could have led to a penalty if seen by the refs. Maybe we have just reached the point that the best now play, not play based on seniority. Good luck to him and Hail State!

    Great. We are now at either 79 or 80 schollies (depending on whether Eliss gets in) with 4 whole months to go before Fall camp even begins. This is 3 years in a row of self-imposed probation of 5+ schollies per year. Embarrassing. Granted, none of that has to do with Graham specifically, but we have done a miserable job of roster management since 2014 and this just further highlights it.

    I think he saw the writing on the wall. I bet JSU gets a 4 star.

    Agreed. Graham was not SEC grade. I watched him many times be burned by receivers and once saw him calling for help from his teammates moments after the snap of the ball as the WR burned him bad from the the get-go. Granted, he was getting better at his position but in the SEC West you need to be at an upper level or elite to succeed.
