The problem with State cutting him, is like others in the past, he will play JUCO and then come back to a D1 school........of which State would probably not be one of the ones he'd go to since they canned him.

Not sure State is willing to give up on him, knowing he one day play against them. Believe they will do what they can to keep him.

On another note, wasn't there some type of rule made that would prevent transfers into the SEC of players with violet crimes histories? If so, would that possibly prevent him from coming into the SEC for a JUCO?

Yes there was a rule passed like that, but would Simmons even fall under that rule if he hasn't even begun taking classes? Would he even be called a transfer? The rule is that SEC schools cannot accept transfers that were previously dismissed for "serious misconduct." One of the offenses listed was domestic violence or sexual violence. This honestly won't even fall under domestic violence. It being a woman doesn't make it domestic. If she were connected to him through family or a prior domestic relationship, it would. This appears to be a basic assault case to me.
