Will They Even Play Next Year??

Croom cuts safety, Bulldogs down to 57 scholarship players. Mississippi State redshirt freshman safety Corey Spells has been dismissed from the Bulldogs following practice Thursday. Coach Croom summarized the decision as a result of a "violation of athletic department policy," but offered no further details.Spells is the 16th player to quit/graduate early/transfer/be suspended since the start of last season. His dismissal leaves 57 scholarship players, well short of the 81 scholarship players allowed under terms of an NCAA sanction from the former coaching regime.

This is the same team that is being featured on ESPN, by showing there Spring Game on t.v. From practice reports, I have read from CroomDogs Spring Training, things have not been good. At least they do not have to worry about the BlackBears from Maine this year.
