Get StartedWhy don't we hear it at other schools?
Lol to hear some of my Sparty friends tell it our team is a dumpster fire right now with everyone running for the hills. The reality is Harbaugh does not promise a 5th year to anyone. And not one of the players that have left were going to come back and play significant minutes. Ecen Speight knew he wouldnt beat out Peters and McCaffrey.
It happens at every program but because we all follow MICHIGAN so closely, it only seems to be happening in Ann Arbor and this is basically the last step of the transition to a Harbaugh Program. Players who came in under Hoke got the chance to play for him and are now seeing more talented and highly-touted recruits take playing time.
And lol at spartan fans.
it might happen more often at UM than other programs because guys are graduating in 4 years. Not sure, but that is a possibility.
The whole practice of transferring for your 5th year is much bigger than it used to be in general and I think more likely during a coaching transition and over a couple year period. I would expect it to slow as kids come in and play right away.
Of course the balance is the very likely departure of both Rashan Gary and Devin Bush after next year because both are complete badasses and 1st Round talent. 3yr starters vs 5th year transfers.
I would take a team of Gary's over Mo Ways any day.
Is up to 4 or 5 guys now ?
I'd like to hear of other schools losing players .
