Freddy Canteen to seek grad transfer

Damn. Forgot about that guy. Seemed like he had spring hype one year. Got some practice reps another year. But I don't rememeber why he was left of the 2016 roster. Good luck to him.

but one of the other UM players a few days ago, I think it was JD, posted a pic of Freddy and the dude was just jacked now!  Looked like a total monster.  Good luck to the guy!

Dat footwork tho

For a second, I thought the headline said Freddy P. Soft

Let me take off this shirt, Canteen Boy...

Those feet could move like nobody's business. 

Best of luck at your next stop, Freddy. 

 

Gonna miss Freddy Footwork

Best of luck Footwork Freddy!

I swore he had already transferred but apparently that was incorrect

Best wishes to Freddy. I hope he is able to have fun playing football somewhere.

but always worried about his size.  I hope he overcame the serious injury and goes somewhere he's a lockdown starter for his 5th year.

I met his HS coach at a Harbaugh camp. Apparently, the coach and Freddy both loved Harbaugh and Michigan.

Too bad football didn't work out, but he he has a Michigan Degree!

I will miss his legendary practice reports.

He's fuggin YOKED UP! Remember the skinny Canteen with amazing footwork that couldn't get open due to jams and such? He legitimately looks like a LB now. He's more than twice as big (ha). If he were a player on any other team I'd speculate on how he got so big - that's how big he is!

I had no clue that he was still on the team. Is that even a scholarship that was being included in projections for next year?

I thought Canteen had already transferred last year or possibly before that?

He was not on he roster this fall

so this is essentially "player goes to grad school elsewhere."

that it deserves another thread.

Seems like yesterday we were watching his recruiting footwork video.

Through no fault whatsoever of his own, the glowing comments and predictions on MGoBlog about him based solely on that simple footwork drill were comical. They were a sign of how bad things were in the program, and how desperate fans were for any sign of football competence, regardless of how ultimately meaningless those signs were. I can't imagine Alabama fans having the same reaction.

What's really important is that he's got his degree, and has become a man in the process. I hope he can find football success somewhere without jeopardizing his health.

I wonder if he's taking his stellar footwork back home to Delaware.

'tis the season where guys we forgot were even still around at the bottom of the depth chart go elsewhere, and the RCMB goes all "hurrdurr HARBAUGHED!"

Good luck to Canteen. Probably the best option.

but, has anybody else noticed the trend of the athletes including the phrase "I'm opening up my recruitment", as if they are preparing to go through the whole undergrad recruiting process, again? I can't imagine most staffs have the time to invest in grad transfer recruiting. It seems to me, in the grad transfer situation, that the onus is on the athlete to find the best fit, especially since the rule seemed designed to benefit the athlete, more than the schools. Good luck to Dawson and Canteen, but, honestly, in reading their annoucements, I get the feeling that they're more concerned with the recruiting process, than finding the right fit, both academically and athletically. I hope it's not the start of a negative trend.
