Per Chengelis: Darryl Stonum indefinitely suspended

Tom shows the following:

 

RT @ Michigan receiver Darryl Stonum has been indefinitely suspended from the football team per Brady Hoke
6 minutes ago
 

No details on what for.  Hope it's not for long.

Note:

This may go back to when he was arrested in 2008 for impaired driving.  It the past he has not  always fulfilled his probation duties per an article last year from sbnation.com:

 

From May 15, 2009, through June 1, 2010, according to court records, he committed probation violations such as leaving the state without consent, failing to submit to random alcohol testing nine times in a 63-day span, failing to complete additional alcohol testing and failing to report for probation on multiple occasions.

At his June 2 review, according to court documents, 15th District Court Judge Julie Creal sentenced Stonum to enter jail at 1 p.m. June 4 and be released at 7 a.m. June 7.

/s.  The fact that DR's arm doesn't fit the O doesn't make this less a loss.  The long ball is a part of the Borges playbook regardless of QB.  Likely  DR won't be short on the deep routes though.  It's too early to say how this is going to play out.

As someone pointed out above, it's tough to beat a defense deep when a) the routes aren't called and b) your quarterback is very inaccurate on the deep ball.  Regardless, Stonum is probably the fastest receiver on the team and was originally recruited by a staff that knew a little something about wide receivers.  If there's a deep threat on the team, he's probably the biggest one.

I think Hemingway is more deserving of that title.  Stonum may be faster, but Junior's better at  actually making a play at the ball.

This is completely hypothetical since I don't know the severity of his offense, but if it is indeed another offense similar to a DUI, Hoke needs to come down hard.  We laugh at Mark Dantonio's discipline with repeat offenders, so we need to lay down the law on repeat offenders.  I really hope it's not that bad, but I'm not too optimistic.

"I was kind of disappointed in myself to run a 10.44 (100m), but I will accept that. Running the No. 2 time in the nation is pretty good. I was trying to run a 10.3, but there was strong wind." -- Denard Robinson

The question is, how hard is hard enough?  Apparently straight-up NCAA violations warrant five games.  Michael Floyd got one.  Beating up some dude in a Colorado bar and evading arrest gets you two practices.  What's a second DUI worth?  Three games?  Eight practices?  No wings on his helmet?

 

I mean whatever happens, there are going to be people who aren't happy unless he's kicked off the team, and there's going to be people who think it's too harsh.  It'll never be just right.  We should try for an MGoConsensus.

Denard has spent the offseason working really hard and smiling at people.

Indefinitely suspended in May does not imply done for the season.  I mean, seriously?  We don't even know what the offense was.  For all we know he failed biology and has to retake it, and has been suspended until he gets a passing grade in Spring class.  C'mon now.  Let's not inflate things until we know what we're looking at.

Even if it is an alcohol-related offense or something, he'd probably miss two or three games, do his court-ordered community service or whatever, and be good to go.

The implication is that it has something to do with breaking laws or probation.  In the ESPN article Quotes Hoke as saying that Stonum will have to "fulfill all his commitments he has to the legal system and our program."

No guessing game from me, but I'm confident it has nothing to do with failing a class.

If this rumor is actually true that it is indeed his second DUI, then he needs to find somewhere else to play. I am sorry if it offends anyone, but I want our program to be held to a high standard. Allowing repeat offenders on such serious offenses the chance to continue to play is a reward for poor behavior. I understand that they are 18-23 year old kids, we need someone to hold them accountable and either they will become men or let them move on.

We cannot complain when other programs turn a blind eye to such behavior and not want better from our program. As an alumnus it is things like this that I hate to see.

It looks like he left himself some wiggle room with "and our program". He could decide that Stonum won't be reinstated unless he does X, Y, and Z in addition to serving any legal punishment. In that case I hope he makes it clear to Stonum what X, Y, and Z are even if he doesn't make this public. That said, if this is indeed a second serious offense I would not be inclined to give a player a third chance. In any case I hope Stonum can get his act together.

If this is his second offense for DUI and with his lack of follow through the last offense he deserves to play DII.
