Don't know what is going on up there in "we're back" land but ttun is losing players this season. Three more have left the team prior to their Outback Bowl appearance. There were others this season as well. I have read their convoluted articles on our players that have left claiming Urban was going full SEC on his roster to make room for players he wants, which was completely wrong. But what the hell is going on up there? Their own are beginning to want answers.

Meh, normal attrition, all be it a little weird that it happens before a bowl game.
Quick search for those that left this year and the majority are recent with little explanation. If memory serves correctly they had similar attrition last year as well. Hopkins started at one point this year at FB and Big Brady would not even speak about him at his presser. Just seems strange. List of those leaving as far as I could find and assuming the dates of the annouincements on webpages were correct. Seven players seems like a lot.

There was a rumor going around MGoBlog last night of 3 players being kicked off the team for whatever reason (J.T. Floyd, Hawthorne, Hagerup). The thread got locked down, but there were a few posters that confirmed those 3 names, mentioning that they couldn't link it, but that they weren't trolling.
Yep, saw that as well but they cover that stuff up like no other. Could not get any info so never mentioned that. Glad someone else saw it too. Is control being lost in AA?
It's not a rumor -- it's the truth. The story is in the Detroit News. cHoke suspended the players for violating "team rules."
maybe the players were forced to leave, after accidentally glimpsing Brady Hoke's secret 4-year plan for Michig@n football, that was tucked between between colored construction paper and grease blotted napkins on Hoke's desk in the football offices.
Will Hagerup, J.T. Floyd, and Brandin Hawthorne have been suspended from the team for rules violations. Hagerup had an issue with weed I believe at some point earlier in his career.
There are two possibilites here.
1. Hoke is forcing out players he doesn't like to make room for other recruits. If this is the case it really shows what a disingenuous lard ass hoke is considering how he talks about being a "M Man" and honoring your commitments. But we all know any time he opens his mouth he's spewing crap because he's been violiting other schools commitments a flipping kids like a two faced (or in his case is it two chinned?) liar.
2. There is trouble in paradise.

1 and 2.

The minions at MGo are saying about the suspensions, "At least our coaches have integrity" and that "that is what separates us from other programs". Funny no mention of Frank Clark and integrity. These goings on up there are very strange to say the very least. Three players left the team between their game with OSU and their bowl game?? Now three more players suspended along with the other players that left during this season? What is going on with our rival? If this was OSU it would be HUGE news.
Six arrests at scUM this year. Can you imagine the headlines if Urban had six arrests? "Urban Meyer Brings Law troubles to Ohio State" "Urban can win. But at what cost?" "Urban walks a fine line at OSU"
Mean while Hoke is flipping guys against his own screwed up moral code, six arrests, people bailing left and right, suspensions and....not a word from anyone.
Our honor Defend!
Not just arrests. Let's compare OSU's troubles with the law with UM's. Storm Klein, say what you will, had his charges dropped. Mewhort and Stoney ended up with a disorderly conduct or something dumb like that, just for being drunk in public, out of season. Dunn had his charges dropped, and his arrest was before he even got on campus.
For UM, they had Fitz Toussaint that risked his own life along with others by drunk driving, and got a DUI. Frank Clark stole a laptop from a fellow student, and is still on probation for his felony(!). Now these three, who knows what.
