Harbaugh media tidbits 8/15: Ahmir Mitchell & Shelton Johnson suspended

Submitted by Wolverine Devotee on

Harbaugh "Rashan Gary is a REALLY good player"

Harbaugh says team is playing better at quarterback now than at this point last year.

Harbaugh says Mike Onwenu is 'one of my favorites.' Chris Evans might be the most impressive frosh right now he says.

— Nick Baumgardner (@nickbaumgardner) August 15, 2016

Ben Bredeson has played guard and tackle, Onwenu is playing both ways.

OK, so Harbaugh says two players out of Ahmir Mitchell, Shelton Johnson and Kareem Walker are suspended. But he won't say which two.

— Jake Lourim (@jakelourim) August 15, 2016

Kareem Walker is practicing, so it's Ahmir Mitchell and Shelton Johnson that are suspended.

Asked how long they'll be suspended, Harbaugh again declines to answer, then says "Good?" and walks out.

Harbaugh really gushed about Mike Onwenu. Says he can play both sides of the ball (and he has been).

Michigan spokesman says Shelton Johnson and Ahmir Mitchell are the suspended players Harbaugh referenced.

Harbaugh said he'd handle the matter internally.

Last offseason was much longer without the Bowl Game. Or maybe it was the pregnancy. My wife just had our third and first boy 4 hours ago.

Harbaugh is only going to say that they are suspended.  He isn't going to give further details as it is between the coaches and the players.  I believe he walked out because the reporters couldn't respect that and Harbaugh is saying by his actions - Lay off.  This is not info for the public to consume.  The public simply needs to know that they are suspended.

Remember that these are kids - Shelton is the oldest of the 3 at what - 19?  They make stupid decisions and the whole world doesn't need to know what they did, unless it is quite serious (Like Charges should be pressed serious).  Think back to Glasgow and the drinking issues - they only came out because of court filings, etc.

I think both Johnson and Mitchell can be contributors here at some point and possibly even key players. I hope they stick with it.
