There were rumors from UGA fans all fall that he was miserable here. Didn't want to believe them but looks like they were true.

An absolute kick in the nuts. DT depth goes from bad to worse. And now that's 8 kids from the 2017 recruiting class that have already left the program with Solomon, Hudson, and Singleton all projected to be starters or big contributors next year. This is very bad.

I guess the only saving grace is that I never really felt like we had Solomon even before this.  He was always hurt, sick, etc.  I can count on one hand the number of games that I really remember him actually "playing" as a regular rotation player.

Exactly. Ohio State fans are like, 'Who is Aubrey Solomon?" He and Dwumfour were who we thought would give us an elite interior given all the coaches chatter. Kemp, Mone and Marshall should not be playing more snaps than supposed impact players. And considering the little impact we got from Gary in '18, the championship glow was bound to wear off this team at some point. In 2017 it was the turnover chain and the return of the U until they got beat 41-8. Michigan is less fraudulent than those wheels off bunches of Florida schools that rotate good years. 3 of 4 seasons with 10 and hoping for 11 wins this year. Next year will probably be another 1 or 2 loss team, unfortunately barring a heisman like year from Shea and some safeties than can keep with crossing routes and also tackle Martell in space. 

Michigan COULD HAVE hung with Ohio State in Urban Meyer's farewell game. If we score a couple touchdowns early instead of field goals we're ahead at halftime. Haskins would have still thrown for 400 especially with Long going out. It's hard to see the D-Line being any better next year without Solomon, but these are kids so hopefully someone steps up. If only Maryland had beat Ohio St the week before and we went to Indianapolis in a close loss or a win. This recruiting class would finish much better and we would be really excited about a top 5 class and a less than stellar OSU class. Until we beat those fuckers is BPONE and hope Basketball can win us a title.

This is unfortunately the most accurate thing on this thread....didn't seem like he even even got going just a little bit. 

And for the people going nuts, again, about how the game has factored into this...maybe it was, maybe it wasn't....he was part of that demolishing.  So if he wants to jump ship after he had a part in that...well ok then, Ill hang around with the guy who will take it on the chin, then keeps going forward with his brothers. 

And to the point above, who in his circle thought this was a good idea, this a high chance of being very bad for the young man.  Think we will ever know the real reason why ?

Fuck. You guys laughed at me when I mentioned this last week. Tarik black better not be transferring also....

The same rumors last week had both Aubrey and Tarik as "considering transferring" and we know at least 1 of them was correct. So I assume where there's smoke there's fire. People on this board like to dismiss/neg any negativity and/or criticism right away it's not even funny.

Some rumors are correct.  But we should also call out those idiot "insiders" who spread rumors that are untrue for clickbait or to just sound "in the know" for a few minutes until proven wrong.

I find > 50% of "insiders" to be morally and intellectually deficient - perhaps why they label themselves as "insiders".  Reminds me of leaders at work - 90% who label themselves "strategic" are anything but, when the real strategic people are the ones getting it done.

When the staff talked about 29-30 recruits in this class it was clear that there would be some transfers that were going to be painful but its hard to imagine a worse option than this.

Between this and seemingly turning over the entire secondary with Hill and Long (supposedly) learning toward going pro Brown is going to have his work cut out for him this year and the offense will 100% have to be better.

I swear this program has the most transfers and decommits in the country.  If it's true that we are having a bunch of guys not playing in the bowl game... Kids transferring out...we have serious issues within the program

It would be hard to argue otherwise at this point.  Our corners are projected mid-round draft picks who could help their stock in the bowl game that are seemingly not going to play.  We reportedly have a player who isn't listed on any draft boards considering not playing.  That is really not a nationwide thing.  That is an "us" thing.

It would not surprise me if there is something more significant taking place with regard to the coaching staff.  The radio silence from inside the program is bewildering.  Did Harbaugh even address the media after the bowl announcement? 

Has the team practiced after the OSU game?  (Joking)  (But not really)

Seriously, wouldn't we all like to know what has happened since the IU game?  Cracks showed during IU.  Up to that point, Michigan football was the "Good Ship Lollipop" and Magic Kingdom, the happiest place in football. We love our coaches.  We love each other.  We have the best S+C coach.  Our nutritionist feeds us what we want.  A month later and sinking faster than the Titanic or more miserable than a Urologist's office the day before the NCAA hoop tournament?

lol of course he’s transferring. Michigan=worst luck university. Something is going on internally to lose a 5* who will be one of if not the best DL on the team. Unreal.
