WolverinesWire: Eubanks undecided if he will return
I think most of us assumed he would be back. If he does not return, the TE position will be a little thin with the departure of McKeon and the transfer of Muhammad.

This sounds like a whole lot of nothing to me. All that he confirmed is that he hasn't made a decision either way and that he'll probably submit his name to get a grade.
I'm thinking he gets a grade that shows late rounds/undrafted and then comes back to focus on improving his blocking and getting drafted after next season.
December 23rd, 2019 at 8:36 AM ^
It’s not a whole lot of nothing, the coaches are aware and gave already made a move for another player in case.
December 23rd, 2019 at 8:50 AM ^
I took your comment seriously until I looked at your recent posts. Either the BPONE is strong with you or you like to troll about attrition.
Eubanks could very well leave, but you seem awfully sure about a lot of these players.
December 23rd, 2019 at 12:15 PM ^
Well, I’ve been correct about many things ! I have a few connections to the program and the word is that Nick is leaning towards leaving, you are aware that a parent passed away. Maybe cash is tight . You all assume that these guys love college football many don’t! I called Tarik awhile ago and I’m sticking with CT transferring
December 23rd, 2019 at 12:43 PM ^
Pretty big leap to say that CT will transfer. He lost pretty much all of his reps to Charbonnet and Haskins. Corum is coming in and Evans is returning. I don't see many carries for Turner next year anyway.
December 23rd, 2019 at 2:02 PM ^
I’ve seen multiple people talking about CT and his playing time next year. I simply post what I hear, I wouldn’t say I’m an insider but I do talk with players on the team. I’m not a BPONE guy it’s call being a realist. There will be attrition
December 23rd, 2019 at 2:09 PM ^
BIGHOUSE1979 has been making a ton of predictions, so figuring out if he is an insider like he claims will be easy. Looks like his claim that Dsntonio informed his staff he was leaving this year was incorrect. Seems like he is just guessing in the dark lol.
December 24th, 2019 at 9:36 AM ^
Actually it wasn’t a guess, it was directly stated to a former player that a friend of mine coaches with. Guys do have a right to change their mind, there also is a little thing called 4 million dollars hanging out there for mork! He’s a dead man walking everyone knows it but he will not be fired, as much as I can’t stand the guy he will choose when he leaves. MSU will never fire him.

- Stevie Wonder called the CT move into the portal before he took off.
- Ray Charles also called this one in a couple of years ago.
- What an insider.
- You are connected.

(K)urt

I can't really give you credit for calling Tarik when quite a few people felt he could easily leave. That wasn't exactly shocking news.
December 23rd, 2019 at 8:39 AM ^

On one hand Eubanks is getting PAID in that case.
But then LOINS.
I wonder if NE has their eyes on any of our pass catchers. Imagine Brady with Nico or DPJ.
December 23rd, 2019 at 10:53 AM ^
Brady is coming back? FYI, based on history, Brady doesn't trust rookie receivers at the this point in his career. DPJ could play for Pats and go to Harvard Med!!!
December 23rd, 2019 at 8:40 AM ^
I really hope he comes back. He could be THE guy next season at TE for Michigan. It seems to me we're underutilizing our TE's in this offense and could expand their role next year.
December 23rd, 2019 at 9:58 AM ^
I feel like he’s been underutilized his whole time at Michigan. Seems like every time the ball was thrown to him it was a 15-20yard gain. See that once or twice a game and don’t see it again.
December 23rd, 2019 at 8:46 AM ^
We have to be amongst the leaders and players who don’t project to rounds 1-2 leaving early for the draft.
December 23rd, 2019 at 9:32 AM ^
It’s all feeling, but yes it's hard to disagree. Both BB under Coach B and FB under Harbaugh seem to lose marginal dudes.
December 23rd, 2019 at 9:48 AM ^
Can you list 5 from both sports combined who left early without their degree and didn't go in the first 2 rounds in bball or first 3 in football?
December 23rd, 2019 at 9:59 AM ^
You shouldn't include the second round of the NBA draft in your request. There is no guaranteed money for players drafted in the second round. And if you look back at past second rounds of the NBA drafts, it's not common for someone drafted in the second round of the nba draft, to stick in the nba. Most of the second rounders dont get much more then 10 day contracts here and there.
December 23rd, 2019 at 11:53 AM ^
Throw any 2 names out there that fit whichever criteria you or they are talking about.
December 23rd, 2019 at 10:01 AM ^
By first 2 rounds you mean drafted at all, right?
December 23rd, 2019 at 10:54 AM ^
Exactly what I meant. Just didn't want to say the first 3 rounds in the 2 leagues and someone say there's only 2 in bball.
Also, didn't want to include anyone that may have signed a bball FA deal that I overlooked.
Point being, there's only 2 rounds and all got drafted in those 2 rounds. Some in the 1st.
Question still stands.
I can't think of more than maybe 2 and they're saying we're the leaders.
December 23rd, 2019 at 11:51 AM ^
Coupled with the idea that they would be starters, which is what you'd assume their goal is, and then they leave early anyway.
Baffling.
December 23rd, 2019 at 8:46 AM ^
He has started to show some decent ability, but not sure how what he has done so far makes him anything more than a late round flyer. Seems like someone who could benefit from being the prime TE in the second year of an offensive system which should (hopefully) operate smoothly from day one.
December 23rd, 2019 at 9:13 AM ^
He's not a good blocker and hasn't shown much ability to do anything after the catch.
If he does leave early, I don't think things will go well for him.
December 23rd, 2019 at 10:54 AM ^
Guessing his "grade" comes back as UDFA.
December 23rd, 2019 at 9:41 AM ^
I think he's probably waiting to see if we get a cartoonish mascot so that we're included in the Quicken Rocket Mortgage commercials.
December 23rd, 2019 at 10:13 AM ^
Ugh... I wish him well in the League.
NO MASCOT!!!!
December 23rd, 2019 at 10:14 AM ^
Okay.
December 23rd, 2019 at 12:10 PM ^
This would be bad.
December 23rd, 2019 at 12:48 PM ^
Unless he wants to go the Undrafted Free Agent route in the NFL...then he needs to come back.
December 23rd, 2019 at 2:52 PM ^
He should speak with Chase Wino..
December 23rd, 2019 at 4:53 PM ^
I like Eubanks a lot, and I imagine this might not get as far as a grade at least this time around. Hopefully, he does return regardless.
December 23rd, 2019 at 6:53 PM ^
k1400Wire: I am undecided if Eubanks will return
December 23rd, 2019 at 9:56 PM ^
He's not good. I don't really care what he does. I'm expecting one of the younger guys to eat his reps.
