Not a huge story. Coaching changes always bring a few transfers. We had 3.
Which one am I forgetting, Vinopal and Christian are the only two I can think of.
Some guy with big ears.
Some consider the Tater Tot a transfer.
Oh right! I feel pretty stupid now. I guess I didn't really consider him a transfer, and his situation definitely was not associated with the coaching change, hence the total whiff on my part. Thanks guys!

I don't think he ever ended up transferring
Oh yeah, I forgot about him, too. Man, I am off my game today, apparently.
Is he officially gone yet? I know there were a lot very strong indications that he was leaving, but has it been made official yet?
(too late, never mind)
lol
I don't like that Golden guy
gets hammered in the media for running off recruits. Or does that kinda thing only happen in the Freep?
I wonder how the Freep would have demonified Bo for running off so many players.
"You [are] either all in or out," tweeted rising senior linebacker Sean Spence on Saturday. "Ain't no in between."
Sound familiar?
Maybe they'll come up to Michigan. Maybe Golden has instituted some kind of exchange program between the UMs, but forgot to tell anybody.
I read a nice informative post from a college coach on GBMW the other day relating some anectodal stuff he heard talking to some southern college coaches at a national clinic recently. From what I remember, the most talked about thing according to him was what a great hire Miami made. Golden apparently has a reputation among other coaches as squeezing all he can out of kids and being a superb motivator. Hoke was talked about as probably the next most sig hire. Mattison was described as a "game changer". The question mark apparently that these coaches were talking about was how effective was Borges going to be using Denard. FWIW.
Don't forget, that post came from Maizeman. You first have to consider whether he was actually at the clinic he claims to have been at. He's been known to completely fabricate his attendance at practice/events before.
The Huge Show reported that Tate was not accepted to Miami.
But did anybody worthwhile report it?
When is the last time someone transfered into Michigan? Evans doesn't count, and Panter was a JUCO.
No idea.
I don't know if this is related to the lack of athletic transfers, but Michigan is notorious for not accepting a lot of outside credits for people transferring in. And not just from community/junior colleges. I knew a girl when I was an undergrad who went to Boston College for two years before transferring in to Michigan, and basically had to start over because almost none of her credits transferred.
I knew someone like that, too. Were her initials KD by chance?
Talk about a culture shock (BC to UMich). You could find greater differences, of course.
The girl I knew was named Erin. Still kind of odd, though, that we both knew a girl who transferred to Michigan from BC her junior year and had to (more or less) start over.
That my mom transferred to Michigan after two years at BC as well? Not named Erin, initals not KD though.
Would you actually like to calculate the odds or is this rhetorical?
/s
Maybe this is just part of the Michigan experience that they forget to mention at orientation. At some point during your undergraduate career, you will either meet or be a woman who transferred to Michigan after two years at BC. Just like painting the rock or the naked mile, everyone should do it once.
[R.I.P. the Naked Mile; damn you internet creepers! *shakes fist at indifferent skies*]
I transferred in from Oakland University and 53/58 credits were accepted. Then again, I planned on going Blue from the beginning and scheduled my classes accordingly, and only lost 1 credit of a freshmen seminar and 4 credits from a department that Michigan couldn't recognize (Health Sciences).
The lefty Mormon** gunslinger who transferred from SDSU in the early 2000's?!
**Not intended to make fun of the Mormon faith. We just don't get many transfers - much less Mormon transfers - at UM!
Spencer Brinton was the Mormon QB. I do think that, as someone else pointed out, Grant Mason is the correct answer though.
Grant Mason transferred from Stanford to Michigan a few years back.
Steven Threet.
True, but he never played a down at Georgia Tech. While he is indeed the last transfer, I think Mason was the last who actually played at another D-1 school.
Two from Norfolk and two from Gainesville. It doesn't sound like the Dade/Broward clique is losing any power down there.
