Burke is Back - Josh Furman Isn't

"Over the past few weeks, I have spent a lot of time thinking and praying about my future -- not just about next year but many years down the road," said Burke. "After gathering information, I am excited to be continuing my education at Michigan as we look to accomplish even more in our 2012-13 season.

"I have so much more to develop as both a student and athlete, and there is no better place to do that than here at Michigan. I love my Michigan family and am really excited about playing with my teammates and our incoming freshmen. I want to thank my parents, my teammates and my coaches for the patience and guidance they gave me since this process began a few weeks ago."

"We tried to provide Trey and his family with the best information possible and as much time as possible to make an informed decision," said U-M head coach John Beilein. "We wanted him to think this through carefully so he was 100 percent certain of what he wanted to do moving forward.

"We loved coaching Trey this season. It is very unusual to have a freshman point guard play with such poise and confidence all year long. He is a clutch performer with a great work ethic and a brilliant future in front of him. As our team leadership changes hands, I know Trey will join the other returning players as we strive to be the leaders and best in all we do."


DB Josh Furman is in trouble with the law and suspended from the team: 

According to a report by the Detroit Free Press, the suspension is due to his Washtenaw County 15th District Court case documenting three counts against Furman: domestic violence, assault and breaking and entering/illegal entry.

“Josh was suspended indefinitely from team activities as soon as we became aware of the report,” said Michigan coach Brady Hoke in a released statement. “These are serious allegations, We will allow the judicial process to run its course before making a final determination on his status with the program.”

The offenses occurred in the early morning hours of Feb. 11, the Free Press said. Furman had a pretrail hearing on Feb. 22 and is scheduled for trail on April 23.


Josh has mostly been a special teams preformer for the Wolverines.   Michigan fans had high hopes for this athlete from Maryland to help the defense.
