Great title.
November 1st, 2011 at 11:53 PM ^
Actually, at my work, when someone leaves the company, they send out an email with the person's name as the subject. So, this was perfect.
November 1st, 2011 at 7:30 PM ^
Thread title could have been better, but thanks for the (bad) news all the same.
November 1st, 2011 at 9:39 PM ^
Carvin my dreams up like a thanksgiving turkey.
November 1st, 2011 at 10:32 PM ^
God, the idiots out there... the title wasn't ideal, but thanks for the info OP. Sorry about whatever losers negged you
November 1st, 2011 at 10:40 PM ^
Thanks man. I really just wanted to post it before someone else did because then you have to start up another thread asking for it to be removed if someone else posts at the same time, ya know. If people wanna negg, it's ok.
GO BLUE!!
November 1st, 2011 at 10:46 PM ^
If that was truly your reasoning, why didn't you edit the thread title after you got it onto the board?
November 1st, 2011 at 10:44 PM ^
What should I title my threads?
Please make your thread titles as informative as possible: "Justin Feagin" is bad. "Justin Feagin leaving the team?" is good.

This is nearly the exact example provided. This isn't an online newspaper. The OP doesn't get bonus points for more people opening the thread. There is no reason to have a teaser headline. It would be much easier to find the thread in the future with an appropriate headline. Points mean absolutely nothing and don't even work, so does it really matter if it gets negged or not?
November 1st, 2011 at 7:31 PM ^
What the hell.
November 1st, 2011 at 10:22 PM ^
unless he really is not seeing PT down the road, but man the depth chart seems to be favorable.
November 1st, 2011 at 7:31 PM ^
Bummer. He was one of my favorite players on the team. Something about that picture of him with the State title game MVP trophy but looking so crushed since his team lost made me want this guy to succeed so badly. Best of luck to him wherever he goes.

Frees up a scholly I guess. I wish I had a better understanding how APR works, but I usually fall asleep reading about it.
November 1st, 2011 at 9:08 PM ^
I am beginning to think that the entire point of the APR is that we aren't supposed to be able to understand it. We are just supposed to read stories about it and know how much the NCAA "cares about student-athletes."
November 1st, 2011 at 7:34 PM ^
This is probably an additional factor in Woolfolk's move to safety and lends credence to the unverified veracity of Hoke claiming the move happened before the injury to Kovacs.
November 1st, 2011 at 7:34 PM ^
Since Countess and Avery are playing so well does this mean we'll be seeing both Woolfolk AND JT Floyd at FS now???
November 1st, 2011 at 7:44 PM ^
Doubt it. There is a need for 3 good CBs, but we already have 3 good Safetys
November 1st, 2011 at 7:46 PM ^
Doesn't it feel weird saying we have good safeties? Also we both now need to sacrifice something to AMSHG to be safe.
November 1st, 2011 at 8:03 PM ^
Sadly, I think Carvin just got sacrificed to AMSHG.
November 1st, 2011 at 9:42 PM ^
the way JT Floyd plays CB, he is already lining up deeper than our safeties do.....
November 1st, 2011 at 7:35 PM ^
Sorry to hear, but I guess this is the attrition that is building the next 2 stellar classes
November 1st, 2011 at 7:39 PM ^
sweet.... (-_-)... the problem is... you need competition amongst upper classman too... If our safeties were to go down, itd be nice having a seasoned, experienced Carvin Johnson instead of a Freshman....(but Jarrod Wilson is sweet)
November 1st, 2011 at 7:45 PM ^
Well we do also have Marvin and. Furman developing behind Kovacs/Gordon, but I agree with your point nonetheless
November 1st, 2011 at 7:47 PM ^

November 1st, 2011 at 7:40 PM ^
and yet I'm not panicking. I wonder if the Woolfolk move caused this or was because of this
Was really looking forward to seeing him grow. Good luck kid
November 1st, 2011 at 7:41 PM ^
I hate attrition, but I will root for Carvin wherever he plays next.
November 1st, 2011 at 7:42 PM ^
Can this really be what's best for the team? Why does Michigan have sooooo much attrition, year in and year out.
Please stop, I would like fully developed upperclassman across 90% of the positions some day.
November 1st, 2011 at 7:52 PM ^
Um coaching transitions do cause that. Also, attrition happens everywhere, every year.
November 1st, 2011 at 7:54 PM ^
the 2 coaching changes being only 3 years apart. I don't want to say it's normal, but it's kind of expected, especially after coach Hoke told us months ago how big the next recruiting class would be. Besides, we had 20 or so DBs when the season began (if you include incoming freshmen) all pretty much neck-and-neck vying to play 4+ spots and then keep those spots when next years big class came in.
November 1st, 2011 at 7:55 PM ^
In the past 5 years we've had three head coaches and four different defensive coordinators.
November 1st, 2011 at 7:42 PM ^
pretty surprised by this.
Why now? I mean seriously.
November 1st, 2011 at 7:43 PM ^
Seems really out of left field. Someone update the Never Forget poster!
November 1st, 2011 at 7:43 PM ^
Very cool of us to continue shoring up the defensive side of the ball at Pitt, tho.
November 1st, 2011 at 7:56 PM ^
no wait, the ACC will be happy about this.
November 1st, 2011 at 7:43 PM ^
...to Mr. Johson. A bit concerned about what this does to our depth chart, but not too concerned about what it does to the team we put on the field, or look to be putting on the field over the next 2 to 3 years.
I've got to ask those who know better, though...why does someone request a transfer in the middle of the season? Or did he leave for another reason?
November 1st, 2011 at 7:43 PM ^
at the beginning of the year. From far away place + lack of redshirt + coaching change + lack of playing time = high likelyhood of transfer. I really hope we hold onto Marvin as I think he will be a stud at Strong Safety his senior year and we'll need someone to step in for Kovacs.
I still don't understand why an athlete would leave in the middle of the season though. You never know what will happen and at the end of the semester once you've passed your classes you can make an informed decision about whether or not to transfer.
Bummer.
November 1st, 2011 at 7:45 PM ^
Pittsburgh, Carvin. No, I have no information. I only naturally assume that's where all our defensive backs end up.
November 1st, 2011 at 7:47 PM ^
November 1st, 2011 at 7:48 PM ^
Why man... why. You even played regularly! Good luck wherever you go (cough.. Pitt).
Our safety depth is wearing thin... if Kovacs can return by Illinois we're good, but otherwise I'm not feeling too good about putting a porcelain doll as starting SS
November 1st, 2011 at 7:48 PM ^
Happy trails to Carvin Johnson, best of luck to him wherever he goes. Definitely a bummer.
November 1st, 2011 at 7:48 PM ^
Still, good luck, Carvin, wherever you end up. Sad Wolverine here.
November 1st, 2011 at 7:51 PM ^
Really liked Carvin. Seemed like he was reliable.
November 1st, 2011 at 7:51 PM ^
We're gonna need a bigger freakin flag.....
November 1st, 2011 at 7:53 PM ^
Let's have informative titles. Also, bummer.
November 1st, 2011 at 7:57 PM ^
Heh, I already had a pretty good guess as to what the post would say before I clicked on it. That is a sad commentary on the state of Michigan's secondary for the past few years.
November 1st, 2011 at 7:54 PM ^
I thought he had good potential even though he's clearly behind Kovacs and T Gordon at this point. I doubt that Woolfolk has anything to do with this, as Woolfolk is a senior and Johnson a sophomore. Gordon, maybe.
November 1st, 2011 at 7:58 PM ^
Couldnt wait til the end of the year? Whatever, I wish him well, but we will be fine without him.
November 1st, 2011 at 7:59 PM ^
Good luck to Carvin wherever he goes.
November 1st, 2011 at 8:00 PM ^
