It is being reported that Tyrone Williams has been dismissed from the team...
1.) I know it's for a "violation of team rules", but what exactly did he do?
2.) Does this open up another scholly for the 2013 class, or did the 20-22 already have situations like this added in?
What??
I know there's a game saturday, and my ass will be there.
Tyrone Williams has been kicked off of the team.
Urban would not elaborate on what it was, besides being a violation of team rules. I doubt we will ever know what he did unless it gets leaked ("sources").
The estimated class sizes typically call for some attrition just like this.
Say it ain't so T.Y....
Shame.
typically this is included under the attrition that leads to the approximate class size of 22
I think just about everyone here always assumed that he would never make it onto the field.
vacuuming sucks
And then there were 19 spots open.
Some guys just cannot get with the program. Too bad.
Dissapointing to say the least. A 6' 5" reciever would be a great red zone weapon but it looks like we'll be looking for another. Good luck to Tyrone.
Damn I had such high hopes for this kid
Maybe he had some "high" hopes for himself...
EDIT: may i add that this is a rare, triple-entendre: The literal meaning, a height reference, and a speculation about drugs.
He was buried on that depth chart.
I'm starting to wonder if Chris Fields may be the next attrition casualty, but due to transfer instead of dismissal.

I called this one a long time ago. Kid was neve really going to play over guys like Devin Smith, Philly Brown and Evan Spencer anyway.
Run_Fido's favorite word is strawman.
I had high hope for that kid. I guess he couldn't turn it around and keep his head on straight.

He was a guy I was rooting for. Hope he clears his head and catches on somewhere else.

SMH. We see how harshly Urban deals with these things, and kids are still breaking the rules? Can't behave, GTFO.

Best of luck to Tyrone. Definitely was hoping he'd get it all figured out. As others have said, his size would've been a great asset in the red zone, but if he can't catch the ball or do what is asked it makes it all pretty moot. :(
I hope he wasn't Saban'd
Meyer was pushing him to succeed in the spring. He told him at practice he wanted him to play. Effort was demanded and it did not work out. Too bad. Good luck to you Tyrone.
"I hope he wasn't Saban'd"
Please.....Rod. Smith blows that theory out of the water.
Maybe this opens the door for a guy like Ryan Timmons.
Good luck to Tyrone.

I am not really suprised. Nothing will keep you straight and narrow like some PT. No PT, nothing to lose. Except for a free ride to tOSU and a BA degree payed for in full.
Unfortunate.... Anyway, TIMMONS TIME!!!
Follow me @jaythesportsguy
off topic, but I keep noticing people with downvotes for normal, legitimate comments that aren't deserving of a downvote. When I see this, I try to counter it by giving an upvote for comments that don't really deserve an upvote either. Anyway, to those of you holding grudges: Grow Up and own up to your downvote. And quit assuming it's a Michigan fan trolling! [steps down off my soapbox]

This is a kid who sent out a tweet last season asking if any other programs wanted a 6'6" receiver.
He was never going to make it if that is really a reflection of his attitude.
vacuuming sucks
MESTRO.......I was saying in response to a statement hoping he wasn't Saban'd that how Rod Smith got his attitude together and now turned the corner and is second team that it blew the theory of being Saban'd out of the water. Your correct in saying that after that tweet last year that he would never make it if that was a reflection of his attitude.
Gotcha GF.
vacuuming sucks
to mr. hailt2victors9 : I suspect the reason youre getting unwarrented d-votes strts with your avatar, screenname, and little schembechler "qoute". BTW, I'm not a d-voter to anyone unless they say something worthy of a d-vote.
"Get him a body bag, Yeah!"
Timmons. Please!!!
Maestro...alot of times I don't elaborate like I should which leaves others wondering what I was saying....I'll try to do better, sorry for the confusion.
I have given 3 downvotes so far and i totally believe they were warranted.
My buddy who is a walk on OL told me two players left the team this weeked. He wouldn't tell me any names, assuming one is T.Y. and since I haven't heard anything else I'm guessing it was just a walk-on quitting or something of that sort
Sorry Urban, Woody is still my favorite
How do you give downvotes and upvotes? Do I have to have > n posts?
What a shame. There was some serious big play potential for Tyrone with his physical size. I hope he lands on his feet somewhere else and gets his life on the right path.
