And Mayes Makes 22

A spokesperson for the Syracuse University athletics department said today that sophomore defensive back Grant Mayes has requested and received a release from his scholarship with the Orange football team.

"I was recruiting by Greg Robinson and when Coach Doug Marrone came in I didn’t fit in the scheme of things."

Rumor is that there are several more to come

At some point, this does get a bit disconcerting.

I was fine up until now

When contributing players start leaving, that bothers me.

Yeah, I used to be on the Syracuse football team

It’s a tough racket.

This kid

was last on the depth chart.

Remember when Josh Wright left? It had a lot to do with him being replaced by a better player. That worked out alright for us. These guys see the recruits who are on campus visiting. They know the coaches dont have any loyalty to them. Mayes was passed on the depth chart by TRUE FRESHMEN. He shouldnt be playing for us.
