Michigan Monday: Who Is Going To Be Gone?

 As much as we all want Big Ten Football to happen this fall, it's not going to happen.   Justin Fields should spend his time training for the NFL Draft as his petition is admirable but the Big Ten has a history of not "hearing" anything that is a differing opinion then their own.   

Which means Michigan will lost a number of high profile guys that will never see the field in a Spring Season if that ever happens.  

  • Kwity Paye - 100% gone and rumored to be already gone.   He will sign with an agent. 
  • Nico Collins - I think would love to play again in the Maize and Blue but that decision makes no sense in the spring for a potential first rounder next year.  
  • Ambry Thomas - needs some better tape but OSU and Alabama will be the last two games for him.   Rumors are he is not working out with the team.   Probably gone. 
  • Carlo Kemp is a 5th year and unless the NFL says more tape, he is probably done as well. 
  • Nick Eubanks is also a 5th year but needs touches, I think he would stay and play. 
What about the high profile juniors?
  • Jalen Mayfield is clearly a very good prospects and will have a decision to make.  
  • Same for Aidan Hutchinson,  being a legacy player and dad as a Doctor, I think he might stay.  
Do you ever look at the Michigan roster and wonder if something is correct?  I just did that when they listed Dylan McCaffrey as a senior.   He might win the unluckiest QB in Michigan history, between injuries, recruits, transfers, and now a Pandemic.  Second place is that guy that got injured the week of the first game and true freshman Chad Henne came in and started for 4 years. 

Did the Big Ten/PAC 12 make the right decision?  Hard to know and we really won't know for sure until students get to campus which is happening this month.   ND is already a week in and many schools are having students move in this week.   I think the safest play is to cancel but Universities are a business bottom line and many need football revenue.  Case in point, many Universities are 80% or more online classes this fall but still having students move into dorms.  Why?  $$$$$
