This does not seem right at all. He has his degree, he should be able to transfer regardless.

Yeah. LOL at people buying Kirby Dumb's line of ****. He's a raging cumbag scumbag just like his daddy Saban. They can both die in a grease fire, but I'm all about Saban in this beef because it might get us a player we need.
 
So now Maurice Smith has graduated and has a signed release to anywhere outside the SEC there he needs to come on down to Miami and get to work putting this drama behind him.

Maurice Smith’s mother happy with Smart’s comments, disputes Saban’s

Maurice Smith walked across the graduation stage on Saturday, and is now an Alabama graduate. The next step in his life, however, remained very much in limbo.

Smith still wants to go to Georgia, his mother Samyra reiterated, even though Alabama head coach Nick Saban is still declining to release him to sign with Georgia or any other SEC school. And she was gratified to hear Georgia head coach Kirby Smart say that he would allow one of his players to transfer anywhere they wanted if they had graduated from UGA.

“I applaud Kirby Smart for openly supporting the choices of graduate transfer students and their ability to freely make them without issue,” Samyra Smith said. “I also hope that student-athletes that are being recruited understand the difference. Our family advocates for student-athletes and believes in following the rules. But in the interest of doing so, one can never eliminate human compassion, wise judgement, and the balance between them all (the institution and student-athlete.)”

Maurice Smith did see Saban briefly on Saturday. A photo of the two together – Saban with the player in his graduation gown – was taken, as is standard when a player graduates. But the two did not hold a formal meeting, according to his mother.

Saban is exercising his option under SEC rules to not release a player to another SEC school. This has been playing out behind the scenes since mid-June, then became public Tuesday, when Samyra Smith spoke publicly following what she termed a “knock-down drag-out” meeting with Saban.

Two days later Alabama released a statement, explaining why Smith is being blocked but another Alabama graduate transfer, receiver Chris Black, was not stopped from going to Missouri.

“We adhere to the SEC and institutional policies regarding issues of this manner,” Alabama’s statement read. “Waivers are not provided without compelling circumstances that present clear non-athletic reasons for the transfer. We remain happy to assist Maurice to enable aa transfer to any non-SEC school, and have been doing everything requested regarding that throughout this process.”

That part bothered Smith’s mother. For one, Maurice Smith notified Alabama of his desire to transfer in mid-June, and it was only earlier this week, according to Samyra Smith, that Saban checked a box releasing Maurice to transfer to a non-SEC school.

For another thing, Samyra Smith saw the statement as Alabama hiding behind the SEC.

“No SEC rule is preventing Mo from playing at Georgia tis year,” Samyra Smith said. “Nick Saban is blocking him and he is also acting as the SEC commissioner with his comments. The SEC voted to include a waiver, that if five criteria were met, the student-athlete could potentially be waived to sit out a year. Why would any coach who tells recruits and their families that he cares about the kids, not want to help one of his own be successful?”

Dude is either gonna announce he coming in a few dayz or he going elsewhere. This gonna be ova soon one way or da other.
 
SI quote from Smart lolz...

“I wanted to set the precedent for the future that kids would not be able to go to Miami right away. It’s very important that we understand that, and that’s pretty much standard operating procedure when a coach leaves one place, that a kid can’t go there with the coach.”

"Kirby Smart says he will allow any Georgia graduate transfer to join whatever school he wants, even if it's within the SEC."

What a bold faced ****in' liar, he literally blocked all UGA kids from following Richt to Miami.
I wish those ****suckin SEC reporters would've followed up with a legitimate question & asked him about blocking kids to Miami, he would've stood up there and tried to sly talk his way out of it.
He learned from the best though, his buddy Saban taught him how to be a complete & total lying sack of sh*t in order to succeed at all costs.

Were any of those kids that wanted to follow Richt graduate transfers? That seems a different case than a kid that still an undergrad but wants to transfer.

Our posters are even apologizing for Smart now. We have some of the worst "fans".

Yeah dude, I'm sure Smart would never do anything to prevent a grad transfer from coming to Miami. Jfc you're delusional if you believe that

So becoming a fan means you now have to distort the English language? This doesn't make you a fan, just illiterate. Could care less about Smart. Just clarifying what he actually said not if he is lying.
 
Smart is an idiot and so is Smith's mother for believing Smart when he himself blocked players from UGA to Miami earlier this year!

Maurice needs to give up the dream of playing football in Athens.

I think Kirby is an ******* for how he has handled it. I think Saban is an ******* for how he has handled it. I think Kirby is a hypocrite. I think Saban is a hypocrite. In this situation I hope Saban's assholeishness lands us a corner we can use.

Fundamentally, I think the NCAA should allow ALL graduates to transfer wherever they want without any restrictions or permissions.
