SEC still deciding ex-Alabama DB Smith's case
Former Alabama defensive back Maurice Smith's wait continued Thursday, as the SEC was still deciding whether to allow him to enroll at Georgia as a graduate transfer and play for the Bulldogs this coming season.
On Wednesday, Alabama coach Nick Saban granted Smith a full release from his scholarship to transfer to any school, after initially refusing to allow him to transfer to SEC schools. But Smith must still receive waiver from the SEC, which has restrictions on its schools accepting athletes with less than two years of eligibility remaining and those who transfer within the conference.
