NJ RB Kareem Walker not playing @ UM due to academic issues

[Scarlet1984]

I'm not 35 but thanks for guessing. Let me get you a violin to play . Who gives a crap what they have gone through? It's called life and what the hell does that have to do with going to class and not being put on academic probation your first semester of college? Oh it doesn't. He earned his way into Michigan for one reason only... because he can play football and he's blowing his chance already. Take your sympathy and walk in someone else's shoes story else where.

Very unimpressive post.

My parochial school had the motto "to whom much is given, much is expected".

I have a theory, Walker and Mitchell were 2 peas in a pod. Doing whatever a couple knucklehead freshmen might. Michigan did not want to lose 2 nj gems from the same class. They make an example of one, and put the other on double secret academic probation.

My favorite quote of this discussion.

Autocorrect, my bad. Obviously I meant not taught.

Responses like these always crack me up. Really dude? You certainly have a lot to say about a kid who you now have decided you don't even give a damn about.

It starts with the faux concern... you sit there and write a paragraph ripping a 17 year old who you don't even know, calling him an idiot and basically a failure at life. Then when someone points out that he might be going through some things, you turn around and brag about how you don't even care about him? If that's the case than why did you even post in the first place if you care so little? Hes a freshman with some academic issues. It happens. And how he got to Michigan shouldn't even concern you if thats the way you feel, football included.

Another apologist. Wahhh

Says a bunch of life long suburbanites most who had a mommy and daddy at home and continue to just blab. I read and posted on the where do you live thread lol so I know where the vast majority of you silver spooners grew up. You guys have no idea what this kids situation was growing up none. You guys should stick to telling the coaches how to coach and what players to put in or who to bench. Donate to the BIG Build fund Go RU.

Did he enroll early? Otherwise that's awfully quick to have academic issues.

Enrolled in Jan. Hope the kid gets it together and can handle the load and not throw away a great opportunity.

Walker's a Michigan man so I don't care if he ever hits the field, but do hope he gets his academics in order and earns a Michigan degree.
