Coach Kragthorpe announced on Saturday that freshman RB Antonio "Boogie" McCray "will not have the opportunity to be part of our program." The freshman had only been on campus for a month. No further details have surfaced regarding the nature of his dismissal but rumor on the internets is that Boogie was frequently tardy to practice and disrespectful to the coaching staff. If that's true, where are the upperclassmen that should be hazing mentoring this guy?
Some will scratch their heads at yet another member of The Departed for this program but it seems likely that Boogie forced Krag's hand on this one. If the kid was a 5 star talent, a'la Derrick Caracter, maybe he'd still be here. And that's not necessarily a good thing.
Also of note, McCray and freshman LB Mike Privott were teammates in HS and good friends; lets hope Privott learns from the mistakes of his former teammate.

I'm not sure Privott
Needs to learn anything. If what you wrote is true regarding McCray’s behavior, it is a shame Mike couldn’t help him out, but from all indications, Mike is a great kid and potential starter as a true frosh. Last year, when our recruiting was absolutely atrocious, and couldn’t even be considered a national laughing stock because we were no longer on the national radar, Mike could have bailed, but didn’t. In fact, by all indications, he was out recruiting for us in tournaments and elsewhere and helped us get a couple.
agree
wish it was something that Mike or others on the team could’ve prevented. If it was indeed an attitude problem, you have to assume certain measures were taken to correct the situation before he was let go. We can all agree that the program doesn’t need any more attention with regard to players or staffers leaving…but Boogie had a red flag (academic problems) coming in and, to speculate, I’m assuming his talent was not worth the risk and a certain breaking point was reached inside a training room or coach’s office this weekend.

Quick, get on the phones...
I think we could replace him with “Booger” from the Revenge of the Nerds series and not miss a beat.

I feel that first no one is giving Boogie the benefit of the doubt. Do you know what really happened? Did you talk to Boogie? OK, then, then you really don’t know the truth to the story. He could have some issues with someone. Just because things happened in the past, don’t pass judgement!! I know firsthand that he is a nice and talented human being.
Don’t go and make something up just because you think what everyone else says is true!!
