Rushel Shell transferring from Pitt

Less than a week after he was announced to be "taking a leave of absence", it has been reported that he is actually transferring out of there.

Paul Chryst's short statement:

Rushel and I met on Tuesday morning and he informed me of his final decision to transfer," Chryst said. "I wish him only the best moving forward. Out of respect for Rushel, his family and his privacy, this will be my final comment on the matter.

Also, it took me about 100 times to type "Rushel Shell" instead of "Russell Shell."

He had over 100 yards in 1 game this year: Virginia Tech. Against the Hokies, he had 23 rushes for 157 yards (6.8 Avg). Hopefully whatever the off the field issues get fixed, but I'm also glad that he won't be facing the Hokies for the next 3 years.
