Two more football players depart Michigan State program
Sorry if this has already come up, but I didn't see it anywhere.

Kenney Lyke and Kaleel Gaines have both left the program, totaling 7 players with eligibility that have left the team since the end of 3-9. It's unclear why Gaines left, but it is reported that Lyke left because he fell a credit short of a semester course load and is likely going to attend Ole Miss either next year, or the following year. (I camped with Lyke before, he's not a dumb guy, just wanna throw that out there before people attack his character)
With the 3 suspended players still up in the air, MSU is looking at possibly losing 10 scholarship football players in an offseason. That is an insane amount of attrition.
I cannot wait for July 16th man.
regardless of his grades. If he transfers while academically ineligible, he can't get a scholarship or practice with the team that year. In other words, expect him to go the JuCo route.
I believe that quote would be attributed to the ever popular, Mike "pride comes before the fall/canwehaveamomentofsilence/next question" Dantonio.
Especially if you throw an x or a y in there.
are you referring to the coaching staff desperately trying to find 2* recruits or the work release program the guys that got kicked off the team are a part of?
But, given the attrition due to graduation last season and all of this among the experienced backups can't bode well for this year. I feel like the waterboy will be playing left tackle and the student manager the field corner. If it wasn't MSU, I would almost feel bad for them. As it is, I want to crush them into dust under our heels.
If next week results in the defenestration of the rumored trio, I'm afraid I can't take pleasure in that. It's an awful situation.
As I state elsewhere, I have the luxury of living some distance from a population base of MSU fans. I have met, I believe, two in Duluth in 8 years; in contrast, I have met a dozen different Michigan fans and probably more.
throw those guys out of a window?
If there is a defenestration of the football coach, well, that's a different story.
+1 both times for the use of defenestration! And staee fans no, he did not mean deforestation, but that is also going on at your fine school.
fwiw, i +1 you literally every time i see that. you are probably a net + 1,000 by this time
...you are not only a Michigan Man, Family Man, but also a Gentleman!
Can't wait.
Copelands aren't the most well behaved, even with reminders to be good.

Kenney Lyke, a freshman defensive back from Michigan State, is transferring to Mississippi Delta Community College
better?
they play for a season rather than sit out - like Brian Cole did
one of my best buddies, his son left UGA after richt got canned. he went home and had a great year of juco ball in socal, and will be 'the guy' at an ivy league school this fall.
so it was way better to have actual playing time - he was a starter and the game tapes are great. some wild games, they won their conference, etc.
That means you can't get a scholarship at another 4 year school.
As far as being able to play immediately, I'm not sure that he should. Some players don't. You're using up a year of eligibility that might be better spent after he transfers again.
He burned his redshirt playing in two games and making one tackle. A reminder that Dantonio's redshirting strategy is not what it is often portrayed to be..
I do actually feel bad for them.
I mean, kinda. This doesn't change anything this season--we were going to mop the floor with them at home anyway. And it comes as I have had basically zero contact with MSU fans in months (hello, northern Minnesota!), so I don't have the fresh aroma of obnoxiousness in my nostrils.
But the fans are people and we've been through program meltdowns and I can sympathize. A bit. The problem not the Lyle issue (academics, always good for a chuckle) but all the other stuff this just adds to. Because the other stuff is awful and there's nothing funny about it.
Mind you, this isn't going to reduce the enjoyment I would experience this fall during a hypothetical disaster season. Not at all.
