Former Alabama?defensive back Maurice Smiths wait continued Thursday, as the SEC was still deciding whether to allow him to enroll at Georgia?as a graduate transfer and play for the Bulldogs this coming season.On Wednesday, Alabama coach Nick Saban granted Smith a full release from his scholarship to transfer to any school, after initially refusing to allow him to transfer to SEC schools. But Smith must still receive waiver from the SEC, which has restrictions on its schools accepting athletes with less than two years of eligibility remaining and those who transfer within the conference.Smith, a cornerback from Sugar Land, Texas, graduated from Alabama on Saturday. He is hoping to join Georgias team and be eligible to play immediately.There have been exceptions to the SEC transfer rule in recent years. In May, former kicker Andy Pappanastos was released from his scholarship at Ole Miss and transferred to Alabama. Sources told ESPN that the SEC also granted him a waiver to transfer within the league. Pappanastos, who has two years of eligibility remaining, was a scholarship player at Ole Miss but joined the Crimson Tide as a walk-on.A source familiar with the case told ESPN on Thursday that walk-ons are subject to the same SEC transfer rules as scholarship players and confirmed that Pappanastos had to receive a waiver from the league before he could enroll at Alabama this summer.Pappanastos, who set an Alabama high school record with 48 field goals at Montgomerys Trinity Presbyterian School, played sparingly in two seasons at Ole Miss, kicking eight extra points and missing his only field goal attempt. He is expected to kick behind Alabama senior Adam Griffith this coming season, but might be in line to take over the kicking duties in 2017.In another recent case, former Alabama receiver Chris Black transferred to Missouri as a graduate transfer last season. Al.com reported earlier this month that Black was able to transfer to an SEC school because Alabama officials didnt respond to his transfer request within seven business days, which is required under NCAA rules. Black also would have needed an SEC waiver to transfer within the league.In an interview with the Atlanta-Journal Constitution on Wednesday, Smiths mother, Samyra Smith, cautioned that his battle is not over, but she told the AJC a decision from the conference was expected within the next 24 hours. Fall semester classes started at UGA on Thursday.Maurice Smith has been trying to follow former Alabama assistants Kirby Smart and Mel Tucker to Georgia but was initially blocked from moving to another SEC school. A statement from the SEC said the league doesnt comment on such waiver requests, but they are reviewed on an individual basis.The SEC does not provide waivers of SEC rules absent circumstances that demonstrate a clear reason for granting an exception to those rules, the league statement said. Each waiver request is reviewed on a case-by-case basis.The requirements for granting of a waiver include that the athletes athletic scholarship was not renewed.As Alabamas nickelback last season, Smith had 15 tackles, one sack, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery in 15 games. After Wednesdays practice, coach Nick Saban said Alabama had done everything it could to allow the conference to make the decision about whatever they decide is in the best interest of the conference and the SEC rules relative to Maurice Smith.So that is past us now, Saban said. It is beyond us. We dont really need to talk about that anymore, and I dont have any other comments to make about it.Smart, now Georgias head coach, disagreed with Sabans decision to block Smiths transfer and has said that he would absolutely support a graduate transfers right to transfer to another SEC school.Vapormax Ale .
