SC's Kenrick Ellis Weeded Out

Get it? GET IT?

A major blow, figuratively and literally, for Spurrier and Co:
South Carolina backup defensive tackle Kenrick Ellis has been dismissed from the team for violating university policy, Gamecocks coach Steve Spurrier said Tuesday following the first day of the SEC spring meetings.

Spurrier would not divulge the reason for Ellis' dismissal, although a source said Ellis had failed multiple drug tests.

"Kenrick's gone," Spurrier said. "He's finished."

Ellis was already suspended for the first three games of the 2008 season for the good old "undisclosed violation of team rules against getting blunted like whoah"; he must have continued the blunting-like-whoah party.

Ellis was a four-star recruit back in the day and played in all of South Carolina's games last year, starting one, as a redshirt freshman. Losing him is not devastating, but it ain't good either.
