Please retrain yourself from tweeting this kid over the next few days...you know who you are!

I think there's also a belief we haven't seen the end of the transition attrition. If we're still pursuing transfers and Roquan Smith, I bet that's the case.

is that Harbaugh already knows of some transfer plans. If players are planning to transfer after the semester, I can see why they wouldn't necessarily make it public now, even if they informed the coaches.

...punch you.
For the committment these people have made to the school, I argue the school owes them something. Change your (off-brand) avatar to OSU or SEC schools. You'd fit right in. Jerk.

Ugh. Tuff guy? Really?
Just agree to disagree and stop with the nonsense.

your stated fact, if I read correctly, is that Harbaugh doesn't owe them anything. I don't think that's a fact, that sounds like an opinion. UM does owe them something, that's my opinion.

You guys should meet up at Temecula and handle this like men.
February 5th, 2015 at 5:27 PM ^
First of all, no one is talking about permanently denying them a scholarship. Secondly, walk-ons typically get scholarships on a year to year basis. Lastly, attrition will take care of the issue such that they get scholarships and we will have room to bring in more players if need be (i.e. Smith, Lyons, O'Korn)
February 5th, 2015 at 6:42 PM ^
Calm down.
Plenty of kids around the country take leftover scholarship for 1 year and then go back to walk-on status.
You think they're not appreciative?
That's the life of a walk-on. You sign up for 4 years of playing your own way and if a coach throws you a bone, awesome. But you don't become obligated at that point.
Happens in every single sport. Hell, in basketball when teams have leftover scholarships they'll put a MANAGER on scholarship for a year if they can.
Get off your high horse.

I find that view as just awful. I suspect and hope that Coach Harbaugh doesn't agree. I'd be very disappointed if our football program ever degenerates to that level. If that's the price to pay in order to win, they can have my season tickets.
February 5th, 2015 at 4:53 PM ^
It could certainly happen.
Michigan is also apparently looking at bringing in a grad transfer corner from Stanford.
February 5th, 2015 at 5:47 PM ^
They were looking at a kicker from Weber State also.
February 5th, 2015 at 5:15 PM ^
Nobody is locked in as a starter until game 1.

Also Brian's projection is under the assumption that the Glasgow's and Kerridge have scholarships, which is probably a good assumption, but if one of them doesn't that opens up space as well.
February 5th, 2015 at 4:40 PM ^
You don't need to be at 85 today - just some date in the future (I don't recall what the date is - maybe July or something)
With O'Korn we are at 85. Assuming Glasgows and Kerridge get their 1 year schollies.
If you want the punter from FCS and the DB from Stanford you need 2 more spots. If you want R. Smith you need 3 more spots.
I am assuming we lose 3 after spring who see they dont have a future here. I can see on our roster 3-4 guys who are upperclassmen who have played almost no meaningful minutes in their careers. So we'll see how it shakes out.

due to medical, then osu seemingly is at 3 or 4 over the limit, honestly I can't tell for sure if they were 6 or 7 over before. That seems workable and with the usual attrition, it seems that this isn't way out of bounds. 7 over was out of bounds.
What's curious is the reasons some guys have for leaving, medical or otherwise. I, for one, will be very interested in seeing the stated reasons for the next round of osu departures. Meyer didn't oversign at Florida, so there is little precedence for this behavior from him, but he's still....urban meyer....afterall.
February 5th, 2015 at 5:38 PM ^
NCAA rules that stipulate violations for "cutting kids" to reach 85, or is Eyer (They don't use the letter M), free to run off kids any way he sees fit ?
February 5th, 2015 at 6:16 PM ^
Are there any NCAA rules that punish any violations? /s
February 5th, 2015 at 7:59 PM ^
February 5th, 2015 at 5:57 PM ^
Oh I know. It's by fall camp. Which is why I was saying we could take 2 more players with future attrition in mind.

Hopefully his supposed relationship with Durkin can help, now that his UCLA guy is gone.
February 5th, 2015 at 4:41 PM ^
I am sure GA also has similar relationships so I wouldnt put that all on Durkin.
The one that is curious is A&M which has come out of nowhere this past week.
February 5th, 2015 at 4:59 PM ^
was the MGoBlue pre-National Signing Day special. His interview answers were spot-on throughout, and he smiles a lot. Some guys have it -- DJ definitely has it. He could sell hay to a farmer.
February 6th, 2015 at 8:36 AM ^
because I do agree with you, but not all farmers grow their own hay...some do in fact buy it from other farmers.
February 5th, 2015 at 5:25 PM ^
how exactly do you figure that A&M "came out of nowhere"? He was on an official visit to the school the week after his visit to UM and the week before his visit to UCLA...
February 5th, 2015 at 4:39 PM ^
National signing day is just the first day kids can sign. Good for him for taking his time after the UCLA thing and not rushing into another decision. Hopefully he chooses Michigan but this is an important decision to get right for the kid.

The University of Ohio State (are they the Buckteeth?) to join fellow Georgian Josh Norwood
February 5th, 2015 at 4:42 PM ^
Surprised that he is still considering UCLA after that comes out. Even if the DC returns, he basically lied to Smith. Why would you still want to go there? Just seems odd.
