This is slightly disappointing, as I wanted to see him play for Michigan. But I hope he does well as a Bearcat.
January 30th, 2010 at 6:28 PM ^
I agree, he was someone who would've added a lot to our defensive backfield this year. With him coming in I would've felt much better about moving Woolfolk back to SS. Hopefully he does well at Cinci.

i think RR helped him get to Cincy. good for Witty.
January 30th, 2010 at 5:59 PM ^
If so, I'd like to hear. That would make me happy.
January 30th, 2010 at 6:02 PM ^
helped him get in to Cincy. I hope so. It would make sense because RR and Butch Jones are friends. Do you have any specific info that you can share?

i think RR helped him get to Cincy.
I believe that's what the RCMB calls "getting Rodriguezed."

Nobody takes those mouth breathers seriously anyway.

Witty ending up at a non-Michigan BCS school is both surprising and cool.
January 30th, 2010 at 5:46 PM ^
I'm glad to see he'll be getting a chance to play somewhere.
January 30th, 2010 at 5:52 PM ^
know why exactly he couldnt qualify? was it His grades, or our athletic department?
edit: apparently this question is negworthy so ill clarify: i heard he had the grades but our athletic dept messed it up somehow or something along those lines. thats why i was asking.
January 30th, 2010 at 5:54 PM ^
the word is that he was qualified but the admissions department wouldn't let him in because of something related to the classes he took post-high school to qualify or an odd jump in test score.
January 30th, 2010 at 5:56 PM ^
thats what i had heard back a few weeks ago but i wasnt sure if thats was the "word on the street" or if it was "fact". ill assume its the latter. thanks.
January 30th, 2010 at 5:59 PM ^
The "word" is that he qualified, but his test score was flagged (because it increased noticably), and UM admissions, fearing what the Freep would say, decided he was guilty of wrongdoing and denied him admission.
January 30th, 2010 at 6:28 PM ^
It kind of pisses me off we'd kowtow in fear of the Freep or some other academics scandal. If the man qualified, the man qualified. Of course admissions may know something we don't.
At the end of the day, next time Stephen J. Ross wants to send a lot of money our way, he should buy us the Freep.
January 30th, 2010 at 7:36 PM ^
I highly doubt that the Admissions Dept. made its decision about whether or not Witty was likely to have submitted a fraudulent score based on fears about what the Freep would say. In fact, it's basically a non sequitur. Even if Admissions was afraid of blowback and subsequently decided not to admit him, that doesn't mean they "decided he was guilty of wrongdoing."

TOB is "baseless innuendo central".
You're correct.
January 30th, 2010 at 11:42 PM ^
Feel free to point out where I said anything like, "This is exactly what happened, I'm 100% positive."
I said that was the "word" - as in, it's speculation, which I heard elsewhere. GBW, to be exact. So if you're going to whine, whine about them. I'm just repeating what's been said.
I'm sure that won't stop you from continuing your bizarre fascination with everything I say, though. Clown.
January 30th, 2010 at 6:12 PM ^
Though I was really excited to see what he could do at Michigan, I guess it wasn't meant to be. Along with Travante Stallworth, I'll definitely be following his career through college.
Good luck!
January 30th, 2010 at 6:13 PM ^
Witty might have wanted into Michigan as bad as anyone in the country, but it didn't work out. I wish him the best.
January 30th, 2010 at 6:46 PM ^
Glad to see he's ended up somewhere decent. Disappointed he won't be donning the winged helmet next year, as it sounded like the coaching staff was high on him, but here's to hoping everything works out for the young man.
January 30th, 2010 at 6:55 PM ^
since we lured away Jibreel...
January 30th, 2010 at 7:19 PM ^
Congratulations to Mr. Witty. I am glad he landed on his feet. From everything I read, he worked his tail off trying to get qualified and become a Wolverine, its too bad it didnt work out. Good luck to him.
