What happen in the dark is gone come to the light

At the end lets take the road less traveled: the high road. Unless you want to get a panel of all the transfers together & identify the central theme of all the departures & since that will not happen let them speculate. Be blessed

We know what’s going on ... just can’t speak on it...

Also, the team seemed so happy and united after the MSU victory.  The video was joyous and the celebration was genuine.  I know the OSU loss was brutal, but I don't think it implies the culture in the locker room is broken.

So? Nordin (unfortunately) seemingly is head-case and could barely kick a football without it being a knuckler the last half of the year. He then got beat out by a younger, better kicker.

And at a position like kicker, that means you have to leave if you want to play. So I expect he'll be moving on.

If Shea or DPJ likes a tweet, then we have an issue.

I hate the fact that I clicked on this thread.

 

Can we please get a feature that lets us know who started it or, better yet, the ability to ignore selected users?

The day I give a shit what an ex-player insinuates about the program...

Look, if you want to leave, leave. If you want to be transparent about why you're leaving, be transparent about why you're leaving.

If you want to play mumbo jumbo games on social media, STFU.

My guess is all of these guys were processed. Because if there was an internal issue we would hear about it. "Its Michigan Fergodsakes".

 

 

Lastly if there were the problems people are trying to desperately allude to then Harbaugh would take that fat check to go back to the NFL and he wouldnt be recruiting as hard as he is.

I generally don't comment on the negative tweets and posts, and don't have time to go through and negbang Diagonal Blue or others. At the same time, I'd really appreciate hearing from someone who can share whether they think something is wrong, or if this is largely sour grapes. The reality, imhe, is that people who aren't playing are not going to be happy. We are now living in a time when there is no patience to "wait your turn." Every single kid out there (and just as much so their parents) think they are a star, and going to the NFL, etc., etc. But not everyone is going to make it, either at Michigan, or beyond. I am pretty sure that Bama and Clemson and Auburn all have tons of kids coming in, many of whom wash out. I like Jim Harbaugh as a coach, but suspect that there will always be some players (and parents) who are unhappy with him and with position coaches. You are never going to have 85 kids who are all starting and all "stars." For every Chase Winovich, for every Rashan Gary, for every Devon Bush, for every Donovan Peoples-Jones, there are a couple or three guys who don't make it. Honestly, my own son, from high school ball, ended up quitting the team. He wasn't up to the work and the sacrifice, given that he would mostly be on the bench. It has to be extemely difficult and disheartening for kids and parents having a high level of success at every lower level. Some people just can't handle the truth.

Now before being flamed out of here, I am close friends with a close relative of Hudson.  He claimed some form of racism within the program. Now, I find this difficult to believe based on a litany of factors; but perhaps he, and some other players, feel this way and that is what they are talking about.  I dont think this accounts for the lack of production for players who have transferred or the lack of big time offers for Hudson (Syracuse, Cincinnati).

In fact he was supportive of one of the most outspoken athletes in regards to race and when asked directly about Kaepernick he said that’s what young people should do question things and form an opinion that is worthy of being invested in.  I think this sentiment and post is way off base.  And before I get flamed if everyone’s being honest there are those that would use that subject matter to deflect from there own shortcomings.

Something happened after PSU. The team just doesn’t seem the same after that game. Players clash with coaches, that’s not a secret, but the nature of these transfers then comments after seem very strange. I think Jim is very unhappy with the prerogative of some of the players towards the NFL draft and future. His job is based on winning, and it’s hard to win without your best players. He’s in a catch 22. Whatever he says will be used against him when people need to and praised when it fits their view.

Gossip! You have got to hate it.

I'll wait until details come out that is if it any of it will be important. For all we know the result of the new NCAA and the ability to instantly transfer. Players can become free agents and Michigan can just as readily pickup others just as they snatched up Shea Patterson last year.

In the new NCAA I expect Michigan to come out ahead but that doesn't mean they won't suffer any losses.

A lot of this feels like run of the mill stuff that’s always happened. I mean there was a point where Charles Woodson wanted to transfer from Michigan. Imagine how he would’ve been treated in this social media age. Just relax.
