In his freshman year? Seems a little odd for grades to be an issue that early, but okay. I think he was in reality considering a transfer, especially after the quote from his mother in the MPR story:

Quote

"I had to get him to realize, 'You just got here,'" she said.

That tells me that he was considering leaving and she talked him down from it.

Add Ivan Matchett...medical scholarship

Oh and, word on the skreets is that Tyler Love and Barrett Jones (remember him? BJ was the best Center in the Country, in High School, that never took a snap at Center, in High School and was being recruited as a Guard by SPuat) will be going on a medical redshirt.

Tyler Love had a fucking stress fracture for crying out loud. As a lineman, thats a pretty difficult thing to just bounce back from. I can't even remember what the deal was with Jones. I'm thinking he had a shoulder problem or stress fracture as well.

He was expected to see playing time as either a cornerback or safety for the Crimson Tide this season, but Saban said this week that Lawrence was one of four players who violated a team rule and were not invited back to the team.

“That’s something that isn’t true, but I’m not going to say anything about that,” Lawrence said.

Hmmm, I wonder what that means.......

Oh come on, Prowler. You know he's just throwing a fit because he got caught breaking the rules. Bama doesn't need his kind around anyway. Better off without him.

I'm thinking maybe it means he didn't break any rules, but doesn't really want to talk about why he isn't with Alabama anymore.

I'm not sure though. That comment was extremely complex and could present a plethora of thought provoking responses.

Yeah but, he was singled out, along with the other three, to the media as being somewhat of a trouble maker.

Then he should explore his options from a legal standpoint.

Lawrence was a four star prospect, rated as one of the top cornerback prospects a few years ago. He did a great job against Julio Jones in the Alabama/Mississippi All-Star game and was considered a huge pickup when he signed with Alabama.

I've seen the comments about Saban cutting the Shula players to make room for his "studs". Lawrence wasn't a Shula recruit, he was a top recruit for Saban, so I doubt he was cut just because we needed room. Especially considering that Travis Sikes is still on scholarship. The only thing I know about him leaving is that Saban said he violated team rules.

Lawrence says he didn't. Something obviously took place for him not to be invited back. If that's not the case, then he should either hire a lawyer or just come out and say what really happened.

Anyone can say, "that's BS, but I don't want to talk about it". I mean, IF he did violate team rules that would cause him to lose his scholarship at Alabama, is he really going to tell a reporter what he did, so they can put it in print?

I actually had Sikes targeted to be cut in the offseason. Not sure why we're hanging on to him.

We knew there would be attrition, and there were alot of folks on boards trying to figure out who might not have their scholarships renewed. How am I such a fucking douche for that? Apparently you need to get laid as well.

Look, let me go ahead and get this out in the open. I NEED TO GET LAID!!!

Now, as far as the comment goes, it sounds like whatever happened, Saban thinks the kid did it and it's worthy of kicking him to the curb. Lawrence apparently disputes that it happened or that he was involved but saw the writing on the wall and transferred. Why fight it if the corch don't want you? He moved on.

So, rws, who do y'all have in mind for who's going to be kicked in the teeth next year? Y'all are already over the limit of 85 for next year, by five, even if no one else commits and y'all sign the ones that've committed.

I think its a little premature to try to guess if somebody might be gone next season, when this season hasn't even started. We lose a shitload of seniors after this season. I'm sure 2-4 guys from the 2010 class probably won't qualify.
