Wolverine Wednesday: New Portal Guy


Touch The Banner
Can you lose a guy, you already lost?

That is the question for CB and Michigan graduate Ben St.-Juste a former 4 star CB that Michigan Football officially retired from football, is now in the transfer portal.  Ben tweeted out when he graduated last week that his retirement from football wasn't his decision.  

Ben missed all of last season due to a hamstring injury and one that the Michigan doctors must of thought would not heal appropriately.    What other reason would Jimmy and Don Brown push a position of need out of the program?  Ben had a very high ceiling and should have been competing for a starting role this spring.  

There was a similar situation a few years ago, when Michigan wanted Ondre Pipkins to take a medical redshirt due to multiple concussions, he declined and transferred to Texas Tech for a year.  Ondre had a nice year at Tech with 32 tackles and 5 for a loss.   If you remember, Brady Hoke declined a commitment from Joey Bosa because they had Pipkins committed.    Glory Days! 

This has happened before and I wonder what the condition of Juste's hamstring truly is.

Is that acually true about Joey Bosa coming to Michigan? I never heard that before.
