I think smacking the bitch up refers to heroine use rather than assault.
True. Then again we have our own issues with past players...just giving you a little ribbing.:thumbsup:

I produce rap and my name's J-Fly
I've left CU. Boo-hoo. Go cry!
My rhymes won't go to waste
Kiesau get out of my face.
I'm sprung. No longer need to hold my tounge.
I was the toast of Boulder as a frosh.
Brought you five stars as uncle Josh.
I've took my licks returning kicks.
Let's see you hold on to that ball, you f*cking pricks
My shoulders need medical care
I hit the wall and my liver tears.
So now I'm gone.
California is where I'll sing my song.
I'll run my routes on some other school's dime.
'Cause I'm tired of losing all the time.
Look out for my clothing line.
Peace out.

After thinking this over for a day, I believe there's something much more to this story. He went through spring drills, only to leave now? 
Just a hunch, but I think he may have seen some of the writing on the wall in terms of playing time. With Simas tearing it up, and the prospect of Simmons, Darden and Ussery coming in the Fall, he may have felt like he was being pushed down the depth chart.
Again, just pure speculation on my part.
Just the same, I think this sucks. I can't think of another position on this team where we're so thin, and this makes us thinner. We need both talent and depth there, and right now, as of this moment, we have neither. Simas hasn't caught a single pass in a game yet, and McKnight, for all that he contributes, simply is not a top tier Big 12 receiver.

I thought the same thing...but didn't want to speculate since I didn't even make it to the spring game....

Just a little devil's advocate, but neither was Josh. Of his 2,000 all-purpose yards, 3/4s came on returns. I'm not saying I'm happy he's gone, and the depth issue at wr is very real, but hearten up, guys. J-Fly is not the difference between the Buffs winning and losing.
I'd rather have three, four slow guys who can catch everything thrown at them than one burner who can't.

Or even more simple, maybe J-Fly was really close to Helfrich and doesn't get along with Hawk, after Helfrich left after spring drills as well.

I keep waiting for someone to tell me this is a bad joke. Regardless, he contributes to the overall success of the team. I will not be talked out of that posistion.
His greatest value was as a return guy. He was really electric doing that. You always felt he could break one. He never has shined as a WR howerver, for whatever reason. I don't know how much his shoulder problems hurt him.

Well we haven't exactly shined offensively for several years either. I would have enjoyed watching him have the chance with a healthy offensive line and a QB that could throw downfield.
A SnowBuff-led tirade on CH's arm strength in 3..2..1..:lol:

For the most part, I agree with your hunch. However, I think J-flys main asset was on KO's & PR's. That certainly hurts the Buffs special teams value. As his WR skills were less than most of the others at the same position. I feel someone will see this an opportunity and step up.

Yeah, and sometimes we were as shocked as the opponent after he catches the ball at the 5...
:rofl2:
But in the spring game, everyone and their brother took a turn returning kicks. That was probably part of his thinking, too.

Wow! Bohn plays hardball and only grants Josh permission to talk to USC. Wow!
It is more of a Yakuza Science degree.

Door 1: Josh can keep his ship, stay at CU, and not pursue the major of his liking.
or,
Door 2: Josh can talk to USC. Maybe he'll be admitted. Maybe he's not. Maybe Pete has a spare scholarship. Maybe he doesn't.
or
Door 3: Josh can pay for his own education for a year (or more) and go somewhere other than CU Boulder or USC.
It will be interesting to see which option he chooses. Welcome to the real world. There's no such thing as a free lunch.

Bohn has to be careful here. You don't want there to be hard feelings that might cause D. Scott to reconsider his commitment to CU. Just grant Josh his release and move on.

Tsk. Tsk. Now that it's out in the press, Bohn will either have to back down in public, or throw himself at the mercy of appeal process. Now I understand why there haven't been any direct quotes from the major players.
This is potentially Cutler 2.
BS, I love this move. If his motivation is truly academic, this won't be a big issue for him.
I know we're a learning institution first, but CU made a substantial investment in Josh as a player and as a student. Now they're left holding the tab for the last couple years and someone else will get the benefit.

"Holding the tab ?" Josh played two years in exchange for two years of tuition. Josh doesn't owe CU anything and CU owes Josh nothing. He wants to leave so let him leave. CU just comes across as looking petty if you ask me.

The notion that Josh Smith could play at USC is laughable. I imagine this is purely an academic move.
