Dwight Smith says...

[ShreveFrog]

to KTBS 3 Sports in Shreveport ... "I was fifth on the depth chart and did not want to waste another year." Says he's enrolled at Navarro and plans to return to TCU in January.

Reading between the lines, sounds like he needs to get the grades up. I hope he succeeds.

 

[Big Frog II]

Good luck to him.

The myth continues in my book. He will be back!

 

[JugbandFrog]

You know, even Luke Sywalker had to take a brief hiatus.

 

[SnoSki]

In The Myth we trust.

Live long and prosper!!!!

TCU needs to start acting like it's a big time college football program and get someone to do his homework...geesh!

 

[froginaustin]

Best of luck to Dwight.

 

[Frognosticator]

So he's going to Navarro and NOT going to play there?

 

[Lone Frog]

Good luck indeed. Still want to see him on the field one day - hope he can make it back to TCU.

 

[ShreveFrog]

Yes, he says he's playing football at Navarro.

 

[Trelvis]

Do you have link or was it on their news broadcast?

 

[FrogAbroad]

Yes, he says he's playing football at Navarro.

He's had no PT for, what, three seasons? That would be hard to take for a talent like he is.

A season at Navarro...then "no waiting" to get back into D-1, right? I hope it's TCU, but if not I wish DS only the very best werever he lands. He has the kind of perseverance needed to keep on keepin' on.

 

[tcumaniac]

Wouldn't surprise me if he left simply because of grades. Best of luck to him!!! Fingers are crossed that he comes back someday!!!

Yes, because this is exactly what big-time college football programs do... And here I thought TCU football enjoyed a very high graduation rate compared to other big-time programs.

 

[McFroggin]

Bummer. Hope he gets things straight

 

[FeistyFrog]

Thanks for the info!

 

[UnderToad]

Best of luck to Dwight.

+1

I'm really glad there's a glimmer of hope there. I hope we get to see him do his thing at TCU one day.

That being said, although they're both great backs, neither Ed Wesley or Matthew Tucker are first/second round talents, and will more than likely be back for their senior seasons in 2012. So the depth chart will likely remain the same.

Facetiousness appears to be lost on you.
Good luck, young myth. Come back to us.

What didn't he just red shirt last season?
