August 22nd, 2011 at 5:16 PM ^
That means...THEY'RE THE SAME PERSON!
August 22nd, 2011 at 5:07 PM ^
What if the rumor itself is transferring?
August 22nd, 2011 at 5:10 PM ^
So, you got it all figured out, do ya? You couldn't leave well enough alone?
August 22nd, 2011 at 5:13 PM ^
....I was actually in the middle of figuring out who Keyser Soze was, and then for some reason, a totally unrelated thought came to me....
August 22nd, 2011 at 5:18 PM ^
I'm just kidding, LSAClassOf2000, I have no idea what is going on.
August 22nd, 2011 at 5:22 PM ^
I wish I knew what was going on myself. Every time I see the word "rumor", my first inclination is to ask which bar the author of the OP was at when they heard the "rumor".....
August 22nd, 2011 at 6:04 PM ^
quoted Chris Griffin twice right there and it completely fits.
August 22nd, 2011 at 6:59 PM ^
It shows that I knew even less than you did. The wife hasn't let me watch too much "Family Guy" since the kids were able to quote the "Bird Is The Word" episode verbatim.
August 22nd, 2011 at 7:05 PM ^
if the kids can quote that episode verbatim, you should have known what my quotes were of haha
August 22nd, 2011 at 7:14 PM ^
.....if I could only pay attention to the TV and clean up Mac and Cheese stains while ranting about how there's never enough Resolve at the same time.
August 22nd, 2011 at 5:13 PM ^
the rumors!
August 22nd, 2011 at 5:29 PM ^
I think we need to add another MGoTier. We have the front page (Tier 1), the Diaries (Tier 2), the Board (Tier 3), and I think we need an MGoRumorMill (Tier 4).
/teasing (but not really - everyone loves a good rumor!)
August 22nd, 2011 at 6:12 PM ^
soon enough.
August 22nd, 2011 at 6:14 PM ^
This is legit. The Peter Griffin image isn't far off, either.
August 22nd, 2011 at 6:17 PM ^
what you're implying about my Peter image from earlier. But....
August 22nd, 2011 at 6:28 PM ^
So long Tony. I remember seeing Bell at the media day video walking up the bleachers. Now relay this info to Diamond's mom.
It still sounds like Bell is gone as well. He has been in the dog house with the past 95 coaches that he has had and he is the one constant in that equation.
August 22nd, 2011 at 6:19 PM ^
I mean if the Peter Griffin image isn't far off then it cant be Chris Bryant and now that I look at Tony Posada he looks a lot like Peter Griffin
August 22nd, 2011 at 6:57 PM ^
And this is distinct from the possible transfer you mentioned earlier?
August 22nd, 2011 at 7:14 PM ^
You mean he's fat, or he keeps getting into fights with a human-sized chicken?
August 22nd, 2011 at 6:34 PM ^
Stokes? He's selling furniture via twitter.
August 22nd, 2011 at 6:51 PM ^
yea I saw that he is one of my fav players still can't see why he can't get on the field at all
August 22nd, 2011 at 7:02 PM ^
That would be ill-advised for him. He realizes that we just lost one of the receivers ahead of him and we lose three guys after this fall, right? Unless he's way down the depth chart...but how far down can he be? We don't have that many receivers.
Let's say next fall he's behind everyone but true frosh (unlikely), he'd only have Roundtree, Stonum, Gallon, Dileo, Jackson and Robinson ahead of him. Sure, that's a lot, but I bet he could jump one of those guys, and one more will get injured for at least a few games.
August 22nd, 2011 at 7:08 PM ^
Anyone else think that this class size could reach the max of 28? We are sitting at 25 right now, so I don't think it is that much of a stretch. If nothing else, 26 is happening for sure.
August 22nd, 2011 at 7:21 PM ^
Does your 25 assume Cox and TRob don't get 5th years? Although I agree that's likely, it's not a done deal yet.
Also, to get to 28 we'd need at least three of the guys to be early enrollees. Do we know of any EEs other than Wilson?
August 22nd, 2011 at 7:30 PM ^
I have us at 24 right now without counting Cox and TRob as options. 28 seems like a reach but so did 26 a month ago.
August 22nd, 2011 at 7:59 PM ^
Huh, when I counted I got to 23 without 5th year guys. I'll have to count again.
EDIT: I just counted again and I got 62 scholarship guys with eligibility left in 2012, meaning 23 open spots. The Depth Chart by Class confirms this.
August 22nd, 2011 at 8:09 PM ^
Are you still counting Isiah Bell as here? Trying to figure out how I have one more.
August 22nd, 2011 at 8:15 PM ^
Nope, I counted again and I did not include Bell. Are you not counting Stonum? Anyway, if you go up to the Depth Chart by Class under Useful Stuff at the top right, they list everyone. I've counted that list three times now, and every time I do it, I get 62 not including Bell (who's still listed).
EDIT: Can someone else weigh in on this? Third opinion please.
August 22nd, 2011 at 7:02 PM ^
i think its william campbell. (not a freshman)
August 22nd, 2011 at 7:13 PM ^
If it's true, there is a certain coach whose father talks with a lisp who will probably have a scholly waiting for him when he gets home.
August 22nd, 2011 at 7:27 PM ^
A Michigan athletic department spokesman confirmed Monday that true freshman Tony Posada has left the Wolverines' football program.

August 22nd, 2011 at 11:50 PM ^
MGoBlue.com has not removed his profile from week 1 of their 'Getting to know the Football Freshmen' series.
August 22nd, 2011 at 7:38 PM ^
what is usually the standard amount of attrition at a normal program each year? Are we above normal, or do most programs usually lose 5 or so every offseason?
August 22nd, 2011 at 8:27 PM ^
Attrition has been remarkably low this offseason, especially given the change in coaching staffs. It's been pretty high the last couple of years, though.
August 22nd, 2011 at 7:49 PM ^
Tis a rumor no more per mspeedkills tweet.

Sorry for the triple post my cpu was acting up.
August 22nd, 2011 at 8:09 PM ^
I live about 2 miles from Plant High in Tampa and I jog around that area often. I did a double take the other day because I swore I saw Posada. My first thought was "Damn, Plant grows some serious big dudes." Hell, it might have been him. This is not good as I was hoping we would get an "in" into one of the best talent producing high schools in Florida.
August 22nd, 2011 at 8:57 PM ^
I hate it when rumors become reality involving anything to do with Michigan football.
August 22nd, 2011 at 10:58 PM ^
unless that rumour is that the school is supplying the team with shoes made of Dilithium crystals....
August 22nd, 2011 at 10:57 PM ^
This possibly isn't a terrible thing. And especially with the crop of 2012 lineman. Diamond/Banner/Garnett....and who knows maybe Peat??? Unfortunately, Diamond seems to be high on Ar-Kansas, or at least his mother is. Hopefully the new basketball facilities will impress Banner when he visits. That would be dope to land the big boys from Washington state.
