Michigan Recruiting Kalen Ballage Again

Also, I've never heard of a career-ending foot injury.  

I never root for a player to transfer or leave the team for any reason unless they commit some terrible atrocity. But if I were to say that player x who hasn't redshirted and would have two years of eligibility left and also happens to live far from Michigan might transfer, what's wrong with that?

Also, what happened to the days where there was some real insider info on the MGoBoard and we might have a heads up about a transfer before it happened?

I just don't see the hard as long as we are respectful and not hoping that players leave to free up a scholarship.

For example, if someone said, "Norfleet has two years of eligiblity left even after a redshirt and if he values playing time over graduating at Michigan I wouldn't be surprised if he left," I don't see what's so bad about. Then we could have a discusson about how sad that would be if Norfleet never found a place in our offense and what that would mean for our offense going forward and so on and so on.

Okay, so BiSB wanted to tell everyone on the board not to speculate about player transfers.  But he didn't want to come across as though he was a self-styled authority figure laying down the law for the hoi polloi.  Now, he could have written a meek post politely asking other board members to refrain from such comments, but that probably would have been ineffective.  Instead he hyperbolized the speaker-to-audience relationship for mild humorous effect.  This both made his words more forceful and simltaneously took the edge off of them so the words were better received (by those with any semblance of a sense of humor).

That's my take anyway.
