“I got denied my transfer twice when I talked to him and met with him (a few months ago),” Turman told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “He said (at the time) he’s not going to let anybody from the University of Georgia transfer because you made a commitment here. Even though he didn’t recruit us, he said he would not let anybody transfer from the University of Georgia.”
Eventually, of course, Smart relented, but did place restrictions on where Turman – who had zero carries in his Georgia career – could go. The AJC reports that a new agreement between Turman and Smart still prohibits him from going to Miami and Florida, but will allow him to go to schools outside the state of Florida (Turman is from Orlando) except Georgia Tech and any SEC school.
