To be clear, I'm not suggesting his dad is not ill and nobody should even speculate on that. I am just saying two things: 1) Mike not playing this year was a serious blunder that wasn't fair to him or the 2013-14 team; and 2) Even if his dad was not ill, I would not be surprised if Mike was considering a transfer. As much as you want to be a team player and patient, if you know you should be playing ahead of some guys and get redshirted, it doesn't tend to make you very happy to ride the bench.
I just really hope this turns out to be a false rumor all around...I was so excited to see Mike play next year.

Not be told, "We don't redshirt here," while the staff redshirts him and recruits another can't miss 5-star that plays his position in the following class?

At the very least you're questioning the fact that his father is ill. How is it that you're in a better position to know who should play and who shouldn't than the coaches?

You know what? Chicken butt.
Based on the minutes Cam Williams recieved. I'm not trying to bash Cam...but he constantly looked lost. I just can't see that Mike would have been any worse. There is a legitimate argument to be made that he shouldn't have redshirted. I mean, we heard that the second half of the season Mike was making noise at practice. Didn't hear a single peep about Cam.

Legitimate argument to be made by whom? Or who? (I don't know proper English works.)
Not one of us.

Sucks for Mike, I hope his dad is ok and pulls through.....
for all the speculation about playing time and stuff... refer to Unionfutura's post #10083/page 673 ( i think) in the tidbits discussion in the mill... I would repost but i'm unsure of the rules and bringing mill info out in to the forum

I'm nauseated by this happening.
Wish the Mitchell family much better health and success. Wish it were going to happen in Columbus.

Based on the numerous reports that Mitchell looked like the next-best LB behind Shazier. If so, he deserved the time and the team deserved to have the best players on the field to give us a shot at winning every game.

No I am not. That is not verified either as far as I can tell, so I am saying I have no clue.
And I am really not saying anything really crazy here, the position outside of Shazier could not have got much worse and UFM himself almost pulled the redshirt.

I don't know how anyone can watch Vonn Bell in the Orange Bowl and still seriously think that the coaches are infallible when it comes to personnel decisions.

His father's illness was well documented throughout his recruitment. He almost stayed closer to home due to it. His father can't travel by plane, either.

Did not realize that and I certainly cannot blame Mike one bit for going back home...I would do the same most likely. Aside from that, I was never happy with the Mitchell redshirt and I think it might have cost us this season. I can't say for sure, but I'm strongly inclined to think he would have been a hell of an improvement over Cam Williams and likely Grant/Perry. If Mike ran around lost and missed tackles, then it would have been a push.
