COLUMBIA, SC (TheBigSpur) - According to The Big Spur, linebacker Angelo Watley has been dismissed from school by the university.
Watley was indefinitely suspended from the football team following a late February arrest on charges that he broke into a house and stole more than $2,700 worth of goods.
The USC middle linebacker was charged with grand Larceny of goods that value more than $2,000 but less than $10,000. He was also charged with financial transaction card theft and violent burglary in the second degree.
Kid must have been a pretty crappy player otherwise he would have just been suspended. 
Counting down to the towel rod comments...

at least it helps make room for another over-signed recruiting class.

He's lucky the HO didn't put two in the chest and one in the head. He's geting off light in my opinion. POS no matter what team he represented.

Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

your right Fish. For some reason I thought you took 30 or so this year, but that was last year.

Wrong again, Carolina did not sign 30 or so last year. They sign no more than what the rules allow, every year.

Technically IM4USC is correct. But many schools over sign every year. Saban is criticized all the time for it.

Technically? Please clarify will ya? I guess I'm missing something.
It was not 30, USC signed 32 players in 2011. The SEC allowed 28 up until 2011 and now its down to 25.

Fish - your right other schools do it. But mostly SEC schools and USC is on the list of frequent over signers.
The SEC receives most of the scorn for oversigning, but it isn't the only place where programs embrace the practice. In the past five years, 25 of the 120 FBS programs have averaged more than 25 signees a year. That list includes eight of the 12 SEC schools (Ole Miss, Auburn, Mississippi State, Arkansas, Kentucky, Alabama, LSU, South Carolina), half the Big 12's current 10-team membership (Kansas State, Iowa State, Baylor, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech) and six of Conference USA's 12 schools (Southern Miss, Tulsa, Houston, Marshall, UAB, UTEP).

Spurrier staying classy...
In 2011, South Carolina, coached by Steve Spurrier, oversigned by several players. Both Oversigning.com[32] and Rivals.com[33] estimated South Carolina oversigned by 6 players when it signed 32 players in its 2011 class.[34] Additionally, on the day before National Signing Day, South Carolina rescinded offers to two other recruits that had verbally committed to signing with the school. One of the recruits, Lorenzo Mauldin, had been committed to the school for months[35] but learned he would not receive a scholarship offer when South Carolina faxed a notice of the rescinded offer to his high school on the day before Signing Day.[36] Walter Banks, the coach of Jordan Montgomery, the other recruit whose scholarship offer was pulled the day before National Signing Day, told The Wall Street Journal, "I told [South Carolina coaches] this was foul. I didn't have a clue until 18 hours before signing day, and if they say anything else, they're lying."[37] Banks also told The State that South Carolina coaches are "no longer welcome" at his high school (South Lake High School in Groveland, Florida) saying, "I cannot look a kid and their parent in the face and say you can trust what a University of South Carolina coach says."[38] Spurrier admitted to The Wall Street Journal that "what we probably could've done earlier in the recruiting is tell them that this could happen."[37] He later added, "I think on [Feb. 1] we alerted both of them, talked to them and said Hey, Im sorry. This is where we are. We got all these other commitments. We didnt like doing this.[38] In late March 2011, Mauldin signed with Louisville saying that he came to believe that South Carolina coaches really didn't want him to qualify anyway.[39]

I say technically because A school can not give more scholarships than they have. If you have 10 un-used scholarships then you can only give 10 scholarships.
But they play games with "signings".

In fact, Carolina signed the exact same number as the university of clemson, for 2011.
shevlin, my ill-informed friend, a commitment is not a signee.
Carolina and the university of clemson both signed 29 for 2011. |

8 out of 25 is 32%.....that's from ONE conference. There are 11 D1 conferences and 32% of the teams on that list are from the SEC.
75% of teams in the SEC are on this list.
So, yea, its by far the most.

You seem to be my counter ill-informed friend then IM4USC.
Going back to this link that says USC signed 32 players. Did you not click on it?

| Pointless argument here. SEC pumpers will always play the "technical" card. Is it technically legal the way they pull it off...maybe. But morally?? But who needs morals. S-E-C, S-E-C, S-E-C. Congrats. |

This has nothing to do with SEC vs anything.
Shevlin said
"But mostly SEC schools and USC is on the list of frequent over signers"
Then says
"8 out of 25 is 32%"
From the list MOST are not SEC. FACT. I was simply responding to the statements made by SHEVLIN. His statement was incorrect. FACT

LOL.
Look, I will go back and edit my post to say "25% more than the next conference with teams on the list" instead of "mostly".
And I will so go back and say that i was referring to it by percentages on the list by conference. Again, 1 conference out of 11 makes up 32% of the list.
Will that make you happy?

Agreed. Let's rephrase to include the non SEC schools who are guilty of this:

I thought this topic was about a POS getting the boot from the team by doing something that should have ended with him having worms in his eyeballs and fertilizing weeds.
