Mr. Impaler - Normally, the best thing to do in response to an obviously provocative comment like this is just to ignore it since it adds nothing other than to reveal the poster’s inadequacies.  However, since you are commenting on a post about the departure of a member of the team, and thereby detracting from that player’s experience should he read this post, I wanted to simply say that you are a very selfish and self-absorbed person, Mr. Impaler.  Cam McGrone just wrote a message about what an honor it was to play on the team, to share experiences with his teammates, and to play for great Michigan fans.  You should be ashamed of yourself, Mr. Impaler, but unfortunately I’m confident you are not.

Ambry had a much better year last year than McGrone did this year and sat out due to covid concerns likely stemming from his colitis 

Ambry is a 6" CB with long arms, exceptional quickness, and good ball skills. He will run 4.4 or better, and test pretty well, at a position of need for every team. I bet he goes in the 1st 3 rounds. 

McBPONE

My Lord, if we need a walk-on to lead the defense, we've fallen even farther than I thought.

I assume this is tongue in cheek but there are people who believe this shit and peddle it for clicks.

If you want to reasonably consider how a coach could have affected his decision then the loss of Brown makes sense. There is the “bush” role in browns defense. Who knows what the next DC will run. 
 

I think playing behind tackles who can’t keep you clean would be the biggest reason and Brown deserves all the blame for that. 

Most of those eager to get away from Harbaugh wisely choose the transfer portal instead of going undrafted and praying for an opportunity on a practice squad.

Must be no incentive to stay . 

It sure seems like we continue to have a growing list of potential All American and All Big Ten seasons missing from players leaving early.

McGrone, Nico, Ambry, Mayfield, Carpenter to name a few.

Maybe the OSU players have a little money in their pocket and aren’t feeling the same urgency to get a paycheck. 

This is a logical and more diplomatic way of saying our main contributors seem to want out as soon as they can.  Hutchinson is a head scratching exception but he is a legacy with family money so that is a huge factor.

For Ohio State, they win and they stay.  Pretty simple recipe.

Yes, Hutchinson decided to come back but there have been a lot more instances of guys leaving early that are projected mid/late round draft picks rather than staying to improve their stock.

So, yes it is very possible guys cant wait to leave the program even if it is not in their best interest.

If you are on the fence why not sit tight and see who gets hired?

I’m not going to disagree. I just think he is way better than he showed this last year. People say a lot about Peppers and Gary and that they weren’t utilized correctly or didn’t make a bunch of plays. But the fact is they did contribute in ways a lot of guys just didn’t see, que the Gary video of him getting triple teamed. I think McGrone did get utilized poorly this year because Michigan decided to start playing half zone, that they didn’t know how to run, and half dr. Blitz stuff. Problem is the linebackers weren’t great at the zone stuff and the defensive tackles weren’t good enough to let McGrone just go after people. So instead of playing he’s thinking too much. Sounds to me, based on what the family has said, he didn’t want to try and learn a completely new system and only be in it for a year. I believe McGrone was going to leave either way though. Whether or not Brown stuck around. I think the family is hoping he’ll have a great combine and people will chalk this year up to “covid crazyness”
