Michigan player reported suspended

[UMRU]

Michigan guard Zavier Simpson is reported to be suspended.

With Michigan's offensive problems and now the loss of a key player, RU should really like its chances on Saturday.

Update: looks like it is only for their next game, which is against Nebraska

 

[ScarletKid2008]

Really?? Is it multiple games aka include the game vs RU this Sat? This would be huge as he's their key offensive piece + the big guy

 

[rutger80]

Not to mention that Livers may have been re-injured.

 

[SJScarlet]

If that’s true, that becomes a total must win rather than just winnable.

Nothing online about it

Link?

This would be massive. Have to take advantage if true and get that W

 

[Spare130]

Wolverine Country twitter account (@umichcountry) just tweeted about it. Suspended indefinitely for violation of team rules.

 

[RUtrumpet92]

Let's hope his replacement (if true) is not a lifelong backup QB making his first start. Can't be too careful about these things.

So this seems fake.

Now the official Michigan twitter account announced it but it says for Nebraska game. Not sure if it will also be against us.

 

[BillyC80]

If you’re gonna announce a one-game suspension then doing it before the Nebraska game makes the most sense.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

1-game? If this happened in Piscataway the guy would be kicked off the team.

Wow. Good for Juwan. Considering how the season is going a bit downhill, good time to instill some discipline for the future.

 

[Local Shill]

Nope. Brendan Quinn is as legit as it gets.

 

[red sail]

my guess is the kid will be back for our game at the garden.

 

[RUtrumpet92]

But they wont announce it until shortly before the game to hamper our prep. Gotta gameplan as if he is playing.

 

[RUKaz2001]

The way it's worded we should assume he will be back for MSG. Especially if they fall to Nebraska and are in total desperation mode.

Michigan Website said Simpson is suspended for their game with Nebraska. He will be at the Garden

 

[bac2therac]

teams sometimes respond when they have a player missing...at least in their first game, its further down the road where there is an issue but it looks like he will be back for our gae

Good call

Wolverine Country does not.

What did he do to warrant being kicked off the team even if in Piscataway. I've seen nothing about the details of the infraction.

 

[Mr_Twister]

Well rested. And continuing to not get whistled for multiple carrying the ball violations.

Going to be a hard road for them, since they already have a shortened rotation and not a lot of guard depth

Conference average min:
37.1 - Simpson (suspended)
34.6 - Brooks (6-1, 185)
33.1 - Wagner (6-8, 205)
30.3 - Teske (7-1, 260)
29.7 - Livers (injured)
22.9 - Johns (6-8, 225)
20.1 - Dejulius (6-0, 190)
10.3 - Davis (6-10, 245)
6.4 - Castleton (6-11, 210)
3.8 - Nunez (6-6, 205)

Even if Dejulius takes on Simpson's minutes, that's still 20 guard minutes that need to be picked up.... by Nunez, I guess?

Wolverine Country does not.

The Wolverine Country report was mocking the Jameis Winston situation from a few years back. Crab Legs should’ve been a dead giveaway

The whole thing was a dead giveaway. He also screamed "F*** her right in the p****" in the cafeteria.

 

[xkiesterx]

It's AT LEAST one game, unclear how long. There are twitter rumors that it's a "domestic" incident. Obviously I have no clue if that's true but if it is, it will likely be more than one game. It's unlikely they'd mention it if it was, frankly. Makes more sense to drop that information right before the game like we did with Geo's thumb.

Xavier Simpson is awesome. Steve Pikiell called him the best all around PG in the B1G at the last Court Club. This is a huge loss for a team that is already unraveling and without Livers.

 

[RU_PAYBACK]

Looks like Simpson will be out for the Nebraska game.. maybe more?
I saw Livers injure himself the other day. He was just coming back from a groin.
Any reports on him?

 

[MadRU]

All I can find is suspended for Nebraska game

[LeapinLou]

So if its only for one game, this hurts us because he'll have fresh legs.

If they lose the Nebraska game they might be a dead team walking.

Juwan comes across as a guy I'd like to root for - just not this week!

Now THIS sounds to me like there’s a good chance he won’t play for a few games.

 

[LOU-RU85]

Gotta give Juwan props for holding his players accountable. Very rare this day and age.

 

[Mr_Twister]

Was the Fab Five held accountable? Wasn’t Juwan Howard one of the five that got paid? Did Juwan ever get his degree?
