To further that report: I'm told by a source that Dominic Woodson could transfer to Southwest Tennessee Community College in town.

FML.

Has this been verified on Memphis Roar 2 weeks ago?

Kinda sounds like it if a CC is where he's going.

Would have to be grades wouldn't it?

I just don't see that happening. Why wouldn't he return to Texas instead?

Yep, he wants to go to a school with better academics.

Pretty rare that one fight can cause two players to transfer.

This is too sudden. I don't know what, but there's more to this. Skal becoming eligible early is all that makes sense in my conspiracy driven world.

I was really hoping things would work out for him here. Thing is, Dom's issues go waaaaaaaaay deeper than just not fitting in with a certain basketball program. He's had a rough life and has a lot of anger, betrayal etc. that he needs to work through. I just hope he can do that and be successful in whatever he chooses to do. The alternative could be very bad.

Maybe it's grades, maybe it's the fight, maybe it's the fact that the front court will be very crowded this year, or maybe he just wants to change gears.

Best wishes to Dom if this indeed comes true.

Story up at Go tigers Go:

Quote:“Dominic is in good academic standing at the University, but he shared with me that he’d like a fresh start,” said Pastner. “We support Dominic and wish him all the best.”

Sudden? He had problems before he got here and has had quite a few incidents since he got here, including the recent stuff. Like I said, he's not going to find happiness and success anywhere until he exorcises his demons.

He can't get over his girl gettin' busy with another dude.

Grant Milner:

Quote:The 6-foot-10 center will most likely enroll at Southwest CC this fall, in hopes of returning to Memphis next year. However, Woodson will be a recruitable athlete, meaning any school can reach out to him over the next year. The staff certainly wants Woodson back, assuming he takes care of business in his year away from the Tigers.

Quote:The idea would be that Woodson attend the school for a year, gain valuable playing experience, and return to Memphis upon the conclusion of the year.

The SWCC thing is just strange to me.
