Michigan Tuesday: Ben on The Move Again

The Michigan Football program has always had a soft spot for a hard nosed full back.   A guy that loves contact and the art of blocking.  Most of the credit will go to the running backs but we know who is in there doing the dirty work. 


At Michigan we had high hopes the next guy in that role would be Ben VanSumeren (who was bouncing back and forth between LB and FB) but atlas he decided last May that Ann Arbor was not the spot for him and he took his talent to East Lansing.  He also took his highly rated younger brother Alex with him, who was a 4 star defensive line recruit in the 2022 class.  

Ben played 256 snaps and recorded 12 tackles on defense and special teams as a reserve for the Spartans last season. But MSU was not happy with the depth at his position and went to the transfer portal to find Aaron Brule from Mississippi State and Jacoby Windmon from UNLV, who both are expected to play in front of Ben next season.   

So Ben is on the move again and back in the transfer portal looking for a new program.  Luckily, Michigan has a ton of instate colleges with football programs to try next.   Too early to tell if this effects Alex or not, but the 4 star is already enrolled at State.

Cant wait for all this transferring to blow up in the face of the Transfer Portal King Mel Tucker. MSU should change their fight song to the old Ratt song, 'Round and Round'.

Yes, another naïve fan talking. Mel Tucker and his band aid players kicked our ass last year....how soon you forget my friend....be humble and show some intelligence. Don't be so arrogant....

Blue for life.....

MichiganMan....did you really just tell someone to use some intelligence? That is hillarious; you're an absolute brainless dumbass incapable of an actual intelligent comment or observance. Brady's comment about the portal potentially blowing up on sparty is not arrogant nor unintelligent. Tucker has conceded recruiting the state to playing the portal instead. It may get him a few more wins but at what expense? He's the Salvation Army of college football and who goes to the Salvation Army when they want top level furniture or goods?

You are right Rudy.... also seems to me MichiganMan made that comment also to garner attention.... seems like he is lying in wait for replies. (good or bad)

MichiganMan said...

Thanks Rudy for proving my point...be be humble please...respect other programs...

Blue 🔵 for life...

MichiganMan- Why don't you go whine to fans of MSU, Notre Dame, and Ohio State to "be humble and respect other programs". Better yet, go root for those schools. Defend Mel Tucker?? Give me a break. Ya, I'm real jealous of a coach that came in 3rd place while we won a B1G Championship. Sounds like you are one of those fake fans that just sit on your hands at games and 'expect victory'. Those days are over my friend. Maybe you and your Grandma can sip some tea on your yacht during rivalry games and let your arrogance stop you from showing some real enthusiasm for the program. You're probably outraged that UM was one of the first schools to allow African Americans to play football, or that we had black QBs, and now a female grad student on the football staff. Plain and simple, you're no 'Michigan Man'.

I am a realist my friend. If my team is garbage I will be the first one to admit that. Some of you guys think we won the National Championship for the past 15 years. We are a mediocre of a team, and some of you guys run your mouth like we are a power house program likes of OSU, Alabama, and others. Your making fun of MSU because Mel Tucker gets his players from the portal? He is doing what is best for the program. He is trying to win. Respect and humbleness will take you long way in life my friend.

Blue for life....

Bucknutsboy is still pissed about Michigan handing the buckeyes asses to them. I love the backhanded comments he posts about "his" team. He's such a douche. Oh well I'm off to Dubai. Hahahaha...

Mastermind said...

MichiganMan- First of all, change your name, cuz you're not. "Mediocre team"? Michigan just won the Big 10 Championship and went to the Final Four. We can smell your true colors a mile away. You're either a Sharty or a Suckeye. Get the F out of here!

MichiganMan said...

Made the playoff first ever...beat OSU 2nd time in last 20years....you are right we won the national championship for past 25 years....anyways how is our basketball team will do in the tourney?

Blue for life

Why do all these assholes always cherry pick the time frame? Let's count all time. Who's got the most all-time wins? Who's got more wins over the buckeyes? Who's got the most national titles? Now tell me who's on top...

Low class human.... No mannerism...let's go 🔵
