What did Daiquan Kelly do to get booted off the team?

Nope, and my guess is you are not going to hear about it either. Kelly's twitter remark looked very "planted" and unauthenticate. Who gets dismissed from a team and writes I love the staff, the players, it really is a family!!!! I think Franklin smartly said "write something nice about us that puts us in the best possible light and in return, we will not leak any other information regarding your dismissal."
He might be getting an opportunity to work himself back on to the team too.
I'm glad you didn't state your "educated guess". My concern is that others will not be so circumspect and that a failure to disclose the reason will lead to rampant speculation.
I just hope the kid gets his sh!t together and realize he might not get an opportunity like this again.
Omg....some of you guys are really dumb. If he didn't commit a crime and he hasn't had a class yet...what's left?
I heard he was night putting....with the daughter of the dean...
I think some of you have way too much time on your hands.
He really hasn't been in school long enough to have academic issues. If it was a criminal matter rising to the level of dismissal so fast, it would be in the police log or all over the news.
So, just an opinion, but all signs to me would point to some substance abuse/failed drug tests (and possible multiple violations of team rules like curfew, etc to the point the staff needed to make an example).

It really hasn't been announced. It's as simple as that.
If you were so busy and had better things to do with your time, you wouldn't have even clicked on this thread, let alone posted in it.
And, no, climbing up on your pedestal (be careful), is not going to dictate our posting behavior.
Damn it all.....he apparently was overheard saying to someone that Rutgers WASN'T our biggest rival.
Yeah, hearing stuff from another poster on this board who says he is just guessing doesn't count as a source.
I've only read that he was dismissed from the team. So to this point I assume that he is still in school. So I am guessing it was a serious team violation. So, we might see him back on the team sometime within the next 12 months.
Have no idea but he may have gotten off on the wrong foot with the staff by reporting at 194 lbs. No way you play LB in the B1G at anything close to that weight. So...ya have to believe he was given a weight gain regimen to follow and...maybe...in the opinion of the coaches...didn't have the self-discipline to follow thru. Whether or not that's true, there obviously were other factors.
It was not clear if he was kicked off the team, and staying at psu with a chance to get back on the team. if he is leaving PSU totally, I thought the rule would be he has to sit out this year unless he goes to a FCS school. PSU staff has to approve his transfer, as I understand the ncaa rules
If he is being given a chance to return to the squad, then yes, we don't need to know. However, if he transfers to another school, then some sort of statement should be made. The program is supposed to be "transparent", and no longer under concealment. Can't have it both ways. If he's going to another school, then we need to know what happened. Hell, it's been 3 years and now Oakman is an All American and first round draft choice, and we STILL don't know exactly what he did to get kicked off the team.

??? I'm pretty sure I know, maybe not exactly because I wasn't there when he grabbed the woman.
I don't agree that "we need to know what happened" though. At least I don't need to know.
You are nuts if you think a coach needs to trash an 18 yr old in public for making a mistake...just to satisfy fans curiousity. If CJF told you I kicked player "X" off the team for failing multiple drug tests....what good would that serve?
Here's Oakmans side of the story...

Come on Miles, everyone (including you) knows why Oakman got kicked off the team.

Now wouldn't that have been a whole lot more honest had everyone known the truth in the first place? This board and the others didn't get the truth until a good year after Oakman had been long gone.
