Redshirt freshman Steven Threet will release a personal statement today, according to his father, Jewel Threet.

The Michigan Daily contacted the Threet residence in Adrian last night. When asked about the possibility of Threet releasing a statement announcing his transfer from the Michigan football team, his father Jewel said, “He’s going to have a comment tomorrow, yeah.”

Jewel Threet declined further comment.

...Cont'd

But... can his dad sing?

It would be interesting to hear how much RR truly wants Threet at UM. I'm sure he'd rather he stay for the short term, but he was never RR's QB. He didn't recruit him (Threet transferred to play under pro-style UM), he didn't choose him (Nick Sheridan was his starter) & the writing on the wall was in enormous harsh letters - This is Tate Forcier's offense now.

I am desperately trying to find a bookie who will give me WMU and points right now.

The good news for UM is it will free up another scholly for an additional slot reciever.

Quarterback Threet leaves U-M, destination unknown

Quarterback Steven Threet, who started eight games for Michigan last fall, is leaving the program.

"I've decided to transfer from the University of Michigan," Threet said, reciting from a prepared statement during a telephone conversation Sunday. "I have requested and received my release. I do not yet know where I will continue my collegiate career and will have no further comment until that decision is made."

This is not the first transfer for Threet, an Adrian native who began his collegiate career at Georgia Tech, then transferred to Michigan.

Threet sat out the 2007 season and played last fall for the Wolverines, who went 3-9 during coach Rich Rodriguez's first season.

Last season, Threet, a 6-foot-6, 230-pound redshirt freshman, made eight starts and played in 10 games. He threw for 1,105 yards and nine touchdowns, but he was affected by lingering effects of a concussion suffered in the Purdue game late in the season, and injuries to his elbow and shoulder. Threet did not travel to the final regular-season game at Ohio State because of a slight shoulder separation. Nick Sheridan made the other four starts.

With Threet's departure, Michigan faces the 2009 season with an enormous question mark at quarterback. Sheridan will be a junior, and little-used backup David Cone, also a junior, returns.

Michigan signed dual-threat quarterbacks, Tate Forcier and Denard Robinson to its freshman class. Their style of play better fits Rodriguez's spread offense.

Forcier enrolled last month so he can participate in spring drills in March

From S&M about the transfer

if a player does not want to stick around and pay the price to be a champion, then perhaps it is better for both sides in the long run. "

..... right

That's just the thing though, he does want to be a champion.......that's why he's leaving.

Given the delusions they have up north, I'm pretty sure scUM football qualifies as a cult.

 

[BuckeyeNation27]

I'm sick of the "I only want players who want to be here" line.....from every school.

I don't want to date the pretty girls, I want to date the girls that want to date me.
I don't want the high paying job, I want the company that wants to hire me.

shut up already.

 

[buckeyboy]

Incredible...The assclowns are beyond help.

 

[coryhulbert]

So how many QBs will they send offers to now?!?!
