Exit Aubrey Solomon
This is Not Good:
Former five-star defensive tackle Aubrey Solomon has asked for and received his release from the Michigan Football program, 247Sports independently confirmed on Monday morning.
Solomon was probably in line to start at nose tackle this year until an injury knocked him out for the first half of the season; he missed another game due to an illness and never seemed quite right. He was an almost certain starter next year at a spot that Michigan is suddenly extremely thin at. Mike Dwumfour might move over but he was a very bad run defender last year; Donovan Jeter is entering his third year and should be playable. That concludes NTs currently on the roster. If you were to pick a player to be the most damaging transfer he'd be high on the list.
So that's fun.

A) Fuck Off
B) Fuck Off
C) Not blaming you for shit, telling you to take a break for awhile. We all get your perspective, it's not helpful right now and we all know that no matter what you're going to scream and yell about how your perspective is the only one that's right. It's boring.
D) Whatever issues you're working out here, might want to find a therapist for them.
December 17th, 2018 at 2:33 PM ^
You know what's great, you don't get to tell me what to do. If you don't like my takes then stop responding to them. The only person yelling and screaming and dropping f bombs in this thread is you. Do you not see the irony in telling someone else they need to take a break when you act like that. I'd take your own advice and get some help.
December 17th, 2018 at 2:36 PM ^
I think he just told you what to do.
December 17th, 2018 at 2:37 PM ^
You dont get to tell him if he gets to tell you what to do.
but honestly, what do you even get out of posting? It has to be so exhausting.
December 17th, 2018 at 2:38 PM ^
IF YOU HATE THE COACHES AND AREN'T IMPRESSED BY THE RECRUITS OR PLAYERS WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU HERE ACTING LIKE A "FAN"???
December 17th, 2018 at 2:39 PM ^
Let me pile on then...
Fuck right the hell off.
No one needs your negative Nancy opinions or fair-weather fanship.
December 17th, 2018 at 2:52 PM ^
Why don't you do everyone a favor and go outside and play hide and go fuck yourself. You are a negative piece of shit, and I'm tired of having to even look at your fucking name. Still not sure why MGoWill hasn't nuked you yet.
December 17th, 2018 at 2:56 PM ^
When you don't like someone's opinion call for it to be censored, it's the mgo way. If anyone deserves to be nuked it's you because talking to other posters like this should not be acceptable.
December 17th, 2018 at 2:58 PM ^
Aww, what's the matter? Did he hurt your feeling?
December 17th, 2018 at 3:07 PM ^
No, you should be nuked because you're an asshole. Go back to RCMB
December 17th, 2018 at 3:13 PM ^
You constantly come on here and disparage the program, the staff, this blog, and pretty much anything UM. You're Mark Dantonio aren't you!
December 17th, 2018 at 3:21 PM ^
classic maizen. constantly act like a whiny bitch and then cry ‘censorship’ and ‘i’m the victim of online bullying’. your life must suck so, so bad.
December 17th, 2018 at 3:47 PM ^
I bet you were stuffed in a trash can in high school and this is your revenge. Sad.
December 17th, 2018 at 3:49 PM ^
says the guy complaining about being picked on. pot, meet kettle.
also, glad you’ve given up the ghost on pretending to not be maizen. as i said, your life must really be miserable. i don’t even hate you, i feel bad for you.
December 17th, 2018 at 5:04 PM ^
JFC ban him already
Seriously
WTF?
It's not even that he's necessarily wrong, he might be right. But for fuck sake ban him again. And again, and again, and again.
December 17th, 2018 at 3:25 PM ^
Seems like a reasonable analysis and line of questioning to me, diagonal!
Better to be realistic about the situation and explore deficiencies if you ask me.
December 17th, 2018 at 5:04 PM ^
No it's not PAIL......SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!!!!!
**screeched a certain mgoblog commenter contingent that overreacts to ANY perceived slight to the program******
December 17th, 2018 at 3:36 PM ^
your tears are delicious.
December 17th, 2018 at 10:11 PM ^
+1 sir
December 17th, 2018 at 7:32 PM ^
I'm not a huge board guy and even I've noticed that every time you comment, you come off like an angry douchebag. Just sayin
EDIT: that was meant for diagonal blue, somehow it looks like I"m shitting on someone else now
December 17th, 2018 at 4:19 PM ^
I also drop F bombs. But not at other posters. Only at fuckers who quit and don’t play in bowl games and don’t live up to even half the hype. Yup. Fuck those guys. Get the fuck out.
December 17th, 2018 at 7:23 PM ^
This post is great if you read it in Joe Pesci's voice.
December 17th, 2018 at 3:00 PM ^
"Stop blaming me for Michigan's failings in football. "
You have it all wrong, bud. We don't blame you for that.
We blame you for being a constantly negative, self-righteous cunt.
Sincerely, what sort of perverse joy do you get by being the way you are?
December 17th, 2018 at 3:27 PM ^
Hudson and a Singleton were not going to start next year.
December 17th, 2018 at 3:45 PM ^
Singleton wasn't. Hudson had a good shot at starting.
December 18th, 2018 at 1:20 AM ^
Mayfield had passed him. So did Stueber.
December 17th, 2018 at 2:27 PM ^
Or he could go away....stop making new accounts, and go away...that would be good too.
December 17th, 2018 at 2:28 PM ^
Man you are really annoying. Who compares UM to Clemson recruiting? More than other places? Clemson has one of the lowest attrition rates in the country? Really, what's their attrition rate and where does that rank nationally? What's UM's attrition rate? Do you just make up random shit to be annoying? You then jump right to this looking bad for the coaching staff. For fucks sake just leave.
Here are transfers from Clemson within the last 12 months: Kelly Bryant, Zerrick Cooper, Tucker Israel, Jabril Robinson, Sterling Johnson, Shadell Bell, CJ Fuller, Amir Trapp.
December 17th, 2018 at 2:34 PM ^
I don't know how many of those guys were grad transfers, but Kelly Bryant and CJ Fuller (RIP) were grad transfers, meaning they weren't seeing the field anyway. What we're losing are potential/penciled-in starters for 2019.
Either way, when you recruit guys far from home or have higher academic standards, this will happen. And if any of this is grades, it makes me wonder about Harbaugh's comments at Stanford that got him in trouble here. I wonder if he is pushing academics harder than other coaches.
December 17th, 2018 at 3:41 PM ^
I wasn't really trying to analyze why these guys left Clemson, just pointing out that Diagonal Blue is making shit up. But, I did just go through an article about the 7 transfers before the season and only 3 were expected to be starters or significant contributors. I don't think we've lost more than 3 starters either. So, I guess if there were a lot of people comparing M and Clemson recruiting they can continue to do so.
December 17th, 2018 at 2:34 PM ^
And really, in some of these cases, it could be academics which those programs don't have to worry about
December 17th, 2018 at 2:40 PM ^
Give it a rest Diagonal. You have no idea what happened.
Not that it ever stops you from drawing weird conclusions
December 17th, 2018 at 2:57 PM ^
Alabama's 2015 #1 recruiting class has seen 10 transfers.
Clemson had 8 transfers last year - some were projected starters.
This is not unique to Michigan. It happens everywhere.
December 17th, 2018 at 3:06 PM ^
Transfers happen everywhere but rarely by guys who are going to be starters. That they would rather sit out a year then start at Michigan is telling to me. If UM was signing the #1 recruiting class every year like Bama or making the CFP every year like Clemson I'd be less worried, but we aren't. I don't think you'll see Brian downplaying what a huge blow this is to our team next year.
December 17th, 2018 at 3:37 PM ^
You must be right Diagonal Blue, because, in reading this thread, I don't see anyone disagreeing with the facts, as you presented them. They're practicing the age old approach of using personal attacks when you can't argue with the content.
December 17th, 2018 at 3:48 PM ^
It's the mgo way.
December 17th, 2018 at 5:12 PM ^
No it's not. It's the self-righteous eggshell sensibility of a very vocal but nonetheless minority of this commentariat. Most of us reasonable mgo souls are capable of reading all commentary regardless of the type and either accept or toss out what we choose without debasing ourselves in hysterics. Glad you are posting here diagonal bc you do inject food for thought. Most of us can actually handle it without losing our shit.
December 17th, 2018 at 9:47 PM ^
nice try GarMoe. You can get just as hysterical.
December 17th, 2018 at 3:08 PM ^
+1 for reminding us that young men age 17-22 change their minds sometimes.
December 17th, 2018 at 3:53 PM ^
Do you have a source for the fact that Clemso has me of the lowest attrition rates in college football?
December 17th, 2018 at 2:19 PM ^
It's tough to trust a guy after something like what happened during his recruitment.
Of all the starter-level players, this is the least surprising transfer news.
December 17th, 2018 at 2:30 PM ^
Have to agree with Mangus. In the era of more liberal transferring, kids that are all over the place during recruiting seem to have a higher correlation to transferring after they actually sign on the dotted line. Not sure if there is a way to measure this, and maybe I’m way off base, but it sure seems like it. This is up there with the Chris Clark saga.
December 17th, 2018 at 2:39 PM ^
My rule of thumb is flaky recruit = flaky player
December 17th, 2018 at 2:30 PM ^
So what do you think our DL is going to look like next season, without Gary, Solomon, Winovich, and Mone? Can we even field a DL next season?
December 17th, 2018 at 2:36 PM ^
Hutch - Dwumfour - Kemp - Paye.
Need at least 3-4 of Jeter, Vilain, Upshaw, Welschof and the 5-6 freshmen to be ready.
Not great! But there are bodies and talented guys.
December 17th, 2018 at 5:31 PM ^
Josh Uche too!
December 17th, 2018 at 2:39 PM ^
Well, if I had my druthers, Mike Onwenu would be playing NT already. That's an obvious fix, IMO, and I don't think Onwenu is irreplaceable at RG.
That being said, I think Jeter is going to be a pretty good player. You've got Paye, Jeter, Dwumfour, Hutchinson, and Kemp who can all play, and then you have to find some backups out of the rest.
December 17th, 2018 at 2:54 PM ^
irregardless of how much I value your takes, irreplaceable isn't a word!
December 17th, 2018 at 3:00 PM ^
Huh? Irregardless isn't a word -- regardless is correct -- but irreplaceable is absolutely a word; it's an antonym for replaceable. Merriam-Webster dates it to 1807. The ir- prefix comes from Middle English in- (meaning not: example, incapable), used with certain initial sounds to prevent awkwardness. "in-regardless" sounds weird, so it got morphed to "irregardless." Similar changes occur with words like "improper" (not "in-proper").
