In an exclusive interview Wednesday evening with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Matthews admitted to having a loud and distracting conversation with a fellow UGA athlete on the final day of Maymester classes Tuesday, but vehemently denied having disrespected Dr. Ronald Bogue, the professor of his Children’s Literature course. Matthews says he was asked to leave the class of around 30 students but did not.

“That’s basically the reason why I got kicked off though,” Matthews said of the classroom incident. “That’s what [coach Mark Richt] told me basically. … Yeah, I think it’s kind of some of the arrest stuff, too, though. But I was basically, I was leaving anyways, I just hadn’t put that in the media.


This and Shaq Wiggins tweeting out "It's not us it's THEM" last night makes me

Tray will be a major Risk for any team to pick up.


He doesn't seem like the kind of kid that will learn from his mistakes. But that is just a snap guess on my part

Did he even make it 12 months in Athens?... dudes got a lot if growing to do (granted most college freshman do).

Stuff like this really puts recruiting g in perspective, IMO... guys can have tons of raw talent, but can't be shitheads.

At least he didn't pistol whip a kid and rob him during a drug deal :glasshalffull:

Hopefully, wherever he goes, he'll learn to read

If you meet an a-hole in the morning then you met an a-hole. If you meet assholes the whole day then YOU are the a-hole.

Also, did the Shaq Wiggins tweet invoke a classic Tom Hanks line from the Burbs? I see the '80s cinema course is already paying dividends.

Sadly I'm not sure that many programs with the environment necessary to help Tray Matthews mature would actually welcome Tray Matthews into their program.

We'll see. Hopefully everything works out for him.

These kids should be thankful they were disciplined and given an opportunity to open their eyes and change their ways. Instead, they're saying stuff like "I was leaving anyway" and blaming other people.

This. Is. Hysterical.

People can say what they want about Richt, at least he kicks a lot of guys off the team for screwing up while a lot of schools overlook things.

"Those" people never take accountability. It's ALWAYS someone else fault.

Tray is obviously not that smart because he can't shut up.

The worst thing he could have done was this interview and those remarks while true or just embellished somewhat did nothing to take that turd of his head. He should have deleted his twitter account before he activated it.

Can you imagine all the signs in the Auburn stands when they play Louisville in 2015?

That's going to be some funny shite.
