Kids come in as freshmen like Trey and they don’t know what to say from a leadership standpoint, so they’re just listening and that’s where the other guys come in and show them the ropes.”

Goodbye: Isaiah Bell

Redshirt Junior LB has left the program.

Little prospects of playing time, but no reason for leaving were given. Might be trying to transfer somewhere, done with football or something else.

Read the damn front page, already!

While his departure does technically open up another scholarship for Brady Hoke's monster 2013 class, he was one of the guys I was assuming would not return for a fifth year. It was already built into 20 that is the no-attrition baseline.

As this thread isn't locked yet, I'm (double) posting this comment here, as well as in the comments for Brian's post:

How does one assume that a RS Junior will be left off the roster?  Bell is currently listed as a RS Soph.  Unless I'm missing something (certainly posible at 5am), next year would have been his 4th year, not his 5th.  

I know it's a moot point now, but if he hadn't quit, I don't see how the coaches were going to kick him off the team.

I am not secretly happy to see him go.  I think it's unfortunate that he decided to come here to play football and get a degree and he leaves without accomplishing one of those goals.  It may have been on his own terms, but that still doesn't mean he's 100% content with the outcome.  As for the comment that you didn't know he was on the roster, that is a completely unneccassary comment and makes you sound like an ass, lol.

Best of luck to him.

Maybe you should read Brian's post about how he was left out of fall camp and was basically already chalked up as being gone. Perhaps that is why I didn't know he was on the roster ... because he basically wasn't. I guess the coaches looked like "asses" as well because they left him off the camp roster. I'm all for a kid that wants to get a degree and play football, but if that kid stops wanting to play, then his scholarship should go elsewhere ... such as another 2013 stud recruit, which will make me happy. If his scholarship goes to someone like Ty Isaac, I doubt you will still be preaching about Bell staying at UM.

Your use of "of" is just wrong.  And your post is non-sensical.

I'm sorry, everyone.  I just couldn't let that one stand.

That's a Napolean Dynamite reference.  I don't know if the improper grammar was intended, but that's probably how Uncle Rico would "of" wrote it.

Darn, the one time I choose to step up on behalf on grammar nerds everywhere, and pop culture fails me.  Or I failed pop culture.  Either way, I suck.

He can now take time to focus on his thesis or whatever graduation projects he has going.

Is he Denards year?  Which may mean that he is leaving without a degree.  I hope he enrolls somewhere.  Good luck to him and I heard he may have financial issues at home.  No idea if it is true, but really sad.  The kid seemed to love Michigan and never said a bad word.

Redshirt junior it said so he should be a year above denard and have his degree. Hopefully he gets some playing time wherever he lands up

He came in with Denard, so he would have been entering his redshirt junior year.  I just checked.

I think he just finished his third year, so I don't think he has his degree.

It's sad, but it happens at every elite program.  Virtually all of these guys come in as big-time stars in high school.  Even 3-star recruits these days are giving press conferences about where they will attend college.  

It must be very difficult for a young athlete when all of the attention and glory dies down and you realize that it's not ever coming back.  It's a cold reality.

We wish him well in his "regular" life.

Hope he has his degree or at least good progress and enjoyed his time in Ann Arbor.  If he transfers to a smaller school, I hope he gets to finish his career as a starter.

I also wish the best for Bell.  He came in and leaves a Michigan Man, in my mind.  He seemed to have done all the right things, trying to help his coaches and teammates by agreeing to switch positions, despite whatever negatives it might have meant for his personal goals as a football player.  For whatever reasons he has, it apparently was time for him to move on, and I respect him for making what had to be a tough decision. 

Whatever the future holds for him with football, I also hope he was on track with his studies and finishes his degree, if he hasn't done so already.

Life doesn't always turn out the way we hoped, Mr. Bell. May new opportunities open up for you that better fit your path in life.
