chUMps Lost Three Players Last Week

From Ann Arbor News...

News came Monday that freshman offensive lineman Tony Posada was gone from the Michigan football program.

Tuesday, junior wide receiver Je'Ron Stokes was out. Today, word came that freshman tight end Chris Barnett was headed elsewhere.

Nine days before Michigan opens the season at home against Western Michigan (3:30 p.m., ABC), what do you think of the departures? Take our poll:

The reader comments were the typical silver lining crowd - basically, "We didn't need them anyways", "If they didn't want to be here, they weren't [chUMp] Men anyways - good riddance", "That's OK, it leaves more scholarships for this year.", blah, blah, blah...

One reader comment was realistic.

I'm having a hard time being optimistic about any of this. I slammed RichRod because of his faux class last year, one that steadily fell apart. I know Hoke didn't have much time to put this class together, but it was mediocre at best and is getting worse by the moment. We can say all we want about how these kids were no good or wouldn't contribute, but frankly, we don't know that. All we know is they have decided to leave Michigan. I'm really worried about depth going forward. So far, we've lost a LB, T, and TE out of this class and as I said it wasn't loaded to begin with.

Let's hope the rumors about the shakiness of the 2012 class is just that, rumors. Frankly, I'm now just waiting for the season to get started so we can (hopefully) get past this crap.
