Pearl says the two players did not meet his expectations after they were given every opportunity to succeed and instead will transfer to another school, though he did not specify where.
Pearl would not identify the reason for the dismissals, though he did say the two cases were unrelated and they stemmed from problems over a period of time rather than one specific incident.
Smith spent half the season as a starting guard, while Crews played as a reserve.
