After the 6 games next year, he could enter the draft.

I don't see why he would do this... he has to sit out an extra 6 games. So that leaves him with two seasons of eligibility. Why not sit out the first 6 games...practice with the team and come in and do great. Is he really that scared of Del Rio or any incoming true freshman?
Assuming he actually transfers, I imagine it's pretty hard to come back from the embarrassment of what happened here. Easier to start fresh someplace new where fans like MJM and t don't hate your guts for making a dumb immature mistake.

I guess... I have seen some things on twitter saying he is gone... I think the majority would welcome him back, but maybe this is why Mac is going for Franks and Eason...?

What FCS school is he going to channel his inner Ingle Martin (who had a good stint at Furman) and transfer down to and play right away after six games?

North Carolina schools? Western Carolina, Davidson, Gardner-Webb...

Mac cant sit and wait for what might be half way thru next season. He needs to get the best he can and if Grier doesnt like it or doesnt think he can compete then oh well. I prefer he comes back but either way we are moving ahead....

Disappointing if true. I really thought the kid had the potential to be very special here. He has all the physical tools and that QB swagger.

Cam # 2?? :barfaway:

Yes, but bringing in two top QBs vs. stopping at one is the surprise. That puts a lot of QBs on the roster, especially when you include Trask. Theoretically you have Treon, Grier, Del Rio, Franks, Eason and Trask. I know it is possible that Treon moves to WR, but 6 scholly QBs is a lot if he doesn't. If McElwain already knows that Grier is gone... it makes more sense for him to take Eason and Franks because he is losing Grier's scholly.

He likely wont land both. It will be one or the other...

Sitting out while suspended doesn't count.
I've heard that somewhere as well, but I haven't seen the rule on that, have you? So that would mean he couldn't play until another calendar year after his suspension is up? I'm not clear on this.

Why do all the decent ones leave and crappy ones stay? Oh dang, i think i might have just used a racial slur or called a player a bad name. I'll go ahead and flag myself for being a bad fan.

:racist:

Just heard on Thriller, Grier is transferring to Les Miles' new team.
