McCoy isn't leaving SMU.... but he IS leaving the basketball team.
McCoy is going to be playing football this year. Jones thinks his ball-handling will translate well to the WR position. Apparently this has been a possibility from the beginning, when Jones helped bring McCoy to SMU. McCoy just wasn't sure until now that he wanted to go into football.

Ditto. Wouldn't it have been nice/better if he had participated in spring ball? Or is he going to join us from the summer?

That shouldn't preclude him from playing hoops. Other schools have had football players play basketball after the football season was over.

Doesn't that mean that his athletic scholarship has to be a football scholarship in order to avoid breaking NCAA rules? If so, is this another scholarship open for basketball?

if this is true as soon as he walks on the football field it will be counted as a Football Scholarship-BUT I thought McCoy was considered a Top CB prospect rather than WR.

I take that back. McCoy had 16 receptions for 517 yards 32.3 ypc and 11 touchdowns on offense-which is quite offensive

To my understanding he was all state as both DB and WR. Very smooth WR though.

Did you mean to say offensive or impressive?

If this is, in fact, his decision, couldn't he join spring workouts right away?

If this is true Doherty has to be pulling his hair out. You talk about a team next year without hope...wow! This program will go into complete panic mode
But I can't imagine he would just give up b-ball??

This was a joke, but in retrospect is more plausible than I intended.
