@Jeff Howeis it out of the realm of possibilities that Smith could get this all straightened out and be welcomed back to Texas at some point in the future?

[Jose Waring]

What do we think about Trent Hendrick from JMU?

Damn, this sucks

I'll trust Sark. I'm sure dismissing him was not an easy decision

I don't see it at this point.

All I'll say is that folks who assumed this was simply a disgruntled player walking out on his team jumped the gun with that line of thinking.

Really sad to hear for this young man and the team. I hope whatever is going on with him gets sorted out and he’s able to finish his career and get a great education! Wishing the best for him and whatever he’s dealing with.

Maybe, but there's also a chance that plan C isn't significantly better than the in-house options.

This.

He could be headed to UCLA to play for Bob Chesney.

It might be too late in the game for Texas to get involved. I have no idea what Hendrick would want for NIL either.

Seems that Texas has had a rough go of it at LB.  Liona Lafau, Bo Barnes l, and now T. Smith.  Is there something deeper going on in that position room?

BRADY SARKISIAN MENTION!!

FWIW, the official word from Texas is that Smith has been dismissed from the team.

Well you can’t just not go to practice. Consequences

We shouldn't speculate. With 105 dudes on a roster, I am surprised this doesn't happen more often. Coach Vic made the Final Four and yet three youngsters who played a lot, quit on Texas. You just never know what goes on behind closed doors.
