Logan Tully-Tillman to grad transfer
January 13th, 2017 at 12:14 PM ^
Clearly you are unfamiliar with the FLUX CAPACITOR!!
January 13th, 2017 at 1:08 PM ^
Looks like he shouldn't have left for Stanford in the first place ($%&@# Sheridan and Threet as starters), though unless he was going to play D I don't think he would have saved Rodriguez' job.

He has only played at Michigan and Akron.
January 13th, 2017 at 2:41 PM ^
transfer never happen? I thought he transferred there at some point.
January 13th, 2017 at 8:31 PM ^
He never went to school at Washington State, He verbally committed to transfer there, but it never happened.

I'm having a difficult time seeing how the university could work around the PR conundrum that this would surely create.
January 13th, 2017 at 11:54 AM ^
Just guessing, but he acknowledged his errors, paid his punishment, has been a model student-athlete since then, etc. Spin it as a redemption where Michigan's tough love in kicking him off the team paid off in making him a better person. It won't quiet all of the naysayers, but it passes the sniff test.

Getting a degree and playing on the football team is not on the same level. There are many instances where a player may get kicked off the team but stays on campus as a student.

1. Appears in rap video with guns aimed everywhere.
2. Legal troubles involving sexual assault.
Now, you personally may not think #1 matters much. And you may think #2 was a "he said, she said" case of "just kids being drunk and making bad choices", and that "he paid his penalty regardless." But add #1 and #2 together, and I personally hope Harbaugh takes a pass. That is my opinion, and neg away if you will...

One of them shot a quick video of the action. Anything beyond that is pure speculation.
January 13th, 2017 at 12:32 PM ^
January 13th, 2017 at 12:57 PM ^
he sent the video from her phone to his.
January 13th, 2017 at 1:05 PM ^
when he transferred /downloaded it from his cell phone to a PC that was the sharing that got him in trouble. Coupled with the taping without consent of course.
If I had a vote, it would be to give the kid a second chance. Smart kid made couple bad decisions. Most of us would be guilty of this as well.
Plus he has a hypenated name....

99.9% sure that the Kardashian Klan is the worst group to start every word in their group name with the letter K and spell it Klan. Almost guaranteed.

"1. Appears in rap video with guns aimed everywhere."
Why does it matter that it was a rap video? 'Rap' is clearly a euphemism here for "black people". Might want to ask yourself why that distinction matters.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. It's rare that I get personally offended on this board, but go fuck yourself. "Rap video" most certainly wasn't code for "black people" for me. It wasn't my way of saying "thug." Yes, I would be just as pissed if it was a white player and a bunch of other white dudes flashing guns and talking about shooting people randomly. Guns are legal (I own several) and that's fine. But if you are a scholarship athlete representing a university, it is not OK to appear in a video talking about driving up to a party and shooting randomly at people. And if you think that IS ok, then there is something wrong with your humanity.
January 13th, 2017 at 3:24 PM ^
You dont see your own assumptions. See, you assumed that by saying "rap video" we would know that the video involved "talking about driving up to a party and shooting randomly at people." I had no idea that the video you were talking about included those things, because for me, "rap video" is not a euphemism for "talking about driving up to a party and shooting randomly at people." You made that assumption.
I dont care what the vido had in it, for its content in no way means that LTT is in favor of shooting people. My point is that maybe you should be a little more aware of your assumptions.
January 13th, 2017 at 4:45 PM ^
First, I apologize for getting pissed. That's on me. After this, I am on a self-imposed "time-out" from this thread. :-)
Second, I only assumed that everyone remembered that incident, and thus the video. I used the generic "rap video" when I could have said "video," not because i assumed the racial overtones or genre would convey anything at all. The screen shot and imagery looks terrible; it's LTT standing behind four dudes all of whom are pointing guns at the camera. The lyrics are unequivocal about what they intend to do with those guns.
Third, people can disagree with me all they want. Call me racist (I am anything but). And in the end, my opinion means exactly zero to what will actually happen here. So, there it is!

Just once I'd like to see a Celine Dion video with "guns aimed everywhere". It would be epic.
January 13th, 2017 at 4:04 PM ^
With one gun aimed at Celine, at least
January 13th, 2017 at 12:28 PM ^
If you are going to besmirch a former (and possibly future) member of the team, at least make some effort to get the facts right.
LTT was NOT involved in a sexual assault. He recorded hmself and his partner having consensual sex. That's a crime, but it is not an "assault".
There was no "he said, she said." Both parties agreed to what happened and LTT admitted it immediately.
Now you may think that he doesnt deserve to be back on the team, and that's up to you but there is a HUGE, HUGE difference between rape/sexual assault and what LTT did, and I shouldn't have to explain to you why.
P.S. I always wanted to say "besmirch"
January 13th, 2017 at 3:59 PM ^
Under Michigan law - you are correct that filming a sex act is not legally sexual assault.
In a number of other states - it would be,

Mo, you're way out of line on this one.

You have no idea how she "feels", or felt.
January 24th, 2017 at 9:38 AM ^
COming back cause this is important. Dont let your desire to have the best team cloud your judgement. THis was completely wrong and he shouldnt represent us, assuming you are an alum. Guess you need to talk to more women. Or you dont have a daughter. Cuase my wife and daughter both think you're an asshole for even questioning if she feels violated.
January 13th, 2017 at 1:43 PM ^
FauxMo - are you also opposed to Harbaugh, who appeared on stage with Migos (who are in rap videos with guns in them)?
January 13th, 2017 at 4:46 PM ^
Was Harbuagh in one of his rap videos where guns are being pointed at things? I'll bet I know the answer. There is a difference, and the difference matters.
January 13th, 2017 at 12:40 PM ^
The only way this could avoid PR nightmare is if they were somehow able to get approval from the girl whose picture was taken. Anything short of that, I don't think would fly with the student body and many faculty members.
January 13th, 2017 at 11:47 AM ^
and possibly start at one of the tackles. If nothing else would add some much needed depth in a transition year for the OL.

According to his profile at Akron it says he played in 12 games.
January 13th, 2017 at 11:57 AM ^
He played and started I think. I saw him a bit but can't assess his play. I don't recall him standing out one way or another.

Did not make any MAC all-conference team (1st, 2nd, or 3rd). Take that for what it's worth.
January 13th, 2017 at 12:59 PM ^
So far this is the most interesting comment of the thread.
January 13th, 2017 at 2:36 PM ^
And sadly that still puts ahead of every functional tackle on the team... (I don't count Newsome as functional at this point)
January 13th, 2017 at 3:48 PM ^
for actual info (which in retrospect was probably easy to look up but I was looking for specific scouting reports on him with no luck, smart to check here for at least an indirect asssessment).
Definitely would like to see a guy you'd want to start in the Big Ten as a top six tackle in the MAC, but still possible he'd be the best tackle on Michigan (yikes).
