Ya beat me fuck that hurts but Hoke had to do it. It's important to have standards and show a winning image.

Here's to hoping Jerald Robinson can step up and have a huge break out year.

University of Michigan head football coach Brady Hoke announced on Tuesday (Jan. 17) that wide receiver Darryl Stonum has been dismissed from the team for a violation of team rules.

"I love Darryl and wish him nothing but the absolute best," Hoke said. "However, there is a responsibility and a higher standard you must be accountable to as a University of Michigan football student-athlete. That does not and will not change. It's unfortunate because I believe he has grown a great deal as a person since the beginning of the season. My hope is that maturing process continues."

Stonum started 25 of 36 career games at U-M, catching 76 passes for 1,008 yards and six touchdowns. He also returned 62 kickoffs for 1,538 yards and holds the single-season kickoff return mark with 39 returns for 1,001 yards in 2009. Stonum redshirted in 2011.

"I appreciate everything the University of Michigan, Dave Brandon and Coach Hoke have done for me," said Stonum. "I look forward to continuing my football career down the road, but more importantly, right now I'm focused on graduating from Michigan this Spring. I understand only I am responsible for my actions. I'm sad about how all of this turned out, but I completely understand. I love this school and my team and will miss them all greatly. But I'll always be a Wolverine. I know I have grown and matured as a person over the last nine months, and I will continue to learn and grow every day. I want to thank everyone for all of their support, and I hope they will support me in the future."

guess all the spartans pre-emptively bashing Hoke over keeping Stonum need to step up and admit they were wrong, and he's a better man than Dantonio when it comes to player discipline.

Add Jerald Robinson and those are our only scholarship wideouts. Roy, Dileo and Gallon have proved they can play but Stonum was a huge downfield threat we no longer have. Slot ninjas and 2 possession receivers.

Hoke had no choice..

Well this is an example to the rest of Michigan athletes, 6 strikes and you're OK, but that 7th strike, Hoke brings the hammer down on you. Just joking, Hoke didn't have a choice regardless of the depth chart for 2012.

How many times did Hemmingway bail us out this year with a catch none of the other WR's would have made? I think, in that context, he will be missed.

 

[wolverine304]

I thought stonum was a speed guy, not a ill out jump you like hemmingway

I cant help but wonder if Payton may be in play here. Yes I believe he had to kick him out of the program. But this did happen the day after Jordan Payton reopened his recruitment.

Coaches are visiting him again.. This would soften the blow

i hope the kids figures it out - i wonder if he does not realize he may have an alcohol issue and attitude issue - he has talent but his mind is missing something IMO -

hope he can still do something and not let this set him down a bad path

I didn't see the Payton development related to the Cal staff changes .... that does make a difference. I was somewhat surprised he chose Cal at the Army game. Prior to that, the UM v ND debates seemed to favor UM.
