He most likely will get violated for probation for driving with a suspended licenses.

 

[jonesman]

This will be interesting. We will find out what kind of guy Hoke is on this. Stonum is important to their WR corp next season with them losing their leading WR to grad.

Remember that Floyd had some issues himself....So while I can't say I'm not happy about it, I keep in mind the problems our #1 playmaker had.

Floyd had a couple underage and 1 DUI. This guy has 2 DUIs and several driving with a suspended license. No comparison, except for lack of judgement.

We will indeed see how Hoke rolls, now that his double secret red shirt probation has been violated.

^ yup. I would like to think that Hoke sacks up and kicks Stonum off the team, but I have a feeling that Hoke sees what we see and next year they are not going to be a lucky with their schedule as they were this year and will need to ensure his best player are on the field. Hoke may kick him off the team for the spring and bring him in the fall, just in time to play, but what the he!! do I know.

violated for probation for driving with a suspended license? lol

 

[Sherm Sticky]

It's an illegal act and he was arrested while on probation. I don't see how he doesn't get violated.

 

[Chicago Irish Fan]

After all the **** that scUM fans gave us for playing Floyd, MF is the one who has cleaned up his act and Stonum is the one still doing **** like this.

 

[yankeehater]

If you read the article, it is funny how he was set up by the parole officer and enforcement officer. Not sure if they did it to me though how funny I would think it was though.

 

[phork]

Some of the idiot crew at mgoblog are justifying why he should be back. Basically because this is not a serious offense. Well sure, in and of itself its not bad. Considering how he got here is another story.

 

[PatsandBostonfan1975]

Who cares I hate that this stuff gets put in media . These kids are going to college not Britney Spears these kids can't get a free meal but they can get embarsed like a pro player. Kid screwed up handle this in house letting N.C.A.A know thats it. None of your bussiness.

Hoke: no change to Stonum's status
January, 5, 2012

Michigan coach Brady Hoke told reporters Thursday that there's no change to Darryl Stonum's status at this time following the wide receiver's latest legal issue.

Stonum, who is on probation for operating a vehicle while visibly impaired, was stopped by Ann Arbor police Thursday morning for driving on a revoked license. He will appear in court Friday for a regularly scheduled probation hearing, and Thursday's incident, described in one report as a probation violation, could be addressed.

Hoke indefinitely suspended Stonum following his drunken driving arrest in May and eventually redshirted the wide receiver. Stonum, the team's second-leading receiver in 2010, has one year of eligibility remaining.

Stonum has had several missteps at Michigan. As a freshman in 2008, he was charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated and driving with a suspended license. He spent three days in jail in summer 2010 because he didn't comply with terms of his probation.

Despite the latest issue, Hoke said Thursday he's not concerned with Stonum's decision-making.

When is it time to get concerned?

He also had multiple probationary violations for missing court dates and failing to show up at mandatory random alcohol testing.

People will bring up Kelly's handling of Michael Floyd, but at least Kelly went on and on about how he was concerned with the way Michael Floyd was living his life. Hoke just sits there and says that he's not concerned with his behavior (TWO DUIs and a ten trillion tickets)???

Didn't Hoke say there would be zero tolerance with Darryl Stonum? What a joke.

When he's a 4th, 5th stringer that won't ever get on the field. That's when coaches really decide to bring down the hammer.

^^^ lol isn't it funny how no one takes the higher road in college ball, if he was a walk-on he's gone, its a non-story, and the scUM fans are saying how classy and above board their program is, then they would just go right back to bashing Kelly for pushing MF3, with the only leverage he had, to become a better citizen and man

I think we should wait and see what happens, once the legal proceedings are over with. No coach is gonna throw a guy off of the team, until the courts determine his guilt. No one will care what Hoke is saying now, if he kicks Stonum off of the team, after the courts determine that he's indeed the degenerate that we all think he is.

DUI should be an automatic disqualifier from NCAA athletics- absolutely 0 exceptions. Nothing says "I don't give a f*ck about my friends, family or community" more than getting behind a steering wheel drunk. And yes, I would have advocated that being the punishment for Floyd, but only if the rule had existed. The NCAA should adopt a clear, unambiguous zero tolerance policy.

2 DUIs is beyond the pale. Thumbing his nose at the punishment for those DUIs should be more than enough to end his college football days.

 

[NDPhilly]

The big difference between Floyd and Stonum besides the 2 DUIs is that Floyd has learned from his mistakes and has changed his lifestyle while Stonum obviously hasn't.

According to his probation officer he was an exemplary case. Showing up for appointments and testing properly. Regardless, zero tolerance is zero tolerance.

 

[IrishLax]

Hoke is a joke for making a statement like that.

EDIT: This is a summary of Stonum's offenses.... taken from MGoBlog.... Michigan is no better than the worst SEC schools at this point.

First Incident: September 2008
Charges: DUI and Driving on a Suspended License
Punishment
--community service
--probation
--fine
--one game suspension

Second Incident: Summer 2010
Charge: multiple probation violations
--failing to submit to random alcohol testing nine times
--failing to complete additional alcohol testing
--failing to report for probation on multiple occasions
--leaving the state without consent
Punishment
--three days in jail (June 4-7, 2010)
--no suspension

Third Incident: Spring 2011
Charge: DUI
Punishment: suspended indefinitely from team activities

After all that, we arrive to the current situation. This is his 4th violation of the law.

Living in a fantasy land-the comparison is legitimate.

I do not advocate his behavior, but are you serious? If each of us put our lives under a microscope, what sanctions would we have received for our behaviors (regardless if we were caught)? Glass houses....

HEY! The UP's nice...

Oh h-e-l-l yea, were you fishin' for some reps!? haha, i agree tho...bunch of true life trolls under the bridge

 

[Rhode Irish]

violated for probation for driving with a suspended license? lol

You can violate the terms of your probation doing a hell of a lot less than driving on a suspended license. That is a no doubt violation for a regular person. We'll see what the local court dies.

When is it time to get concerned?

When the QB reads the defense and looks for Stonum to break inside while Stonum does his own thing and breaks out resulting in a pick 6. Hoke will talk to the QB then about priorities.


Schadenfreude aside this isn't a football issue for Stonum nor for Floyd. It's a STUDENT issue that should be dealt with by the University Student Affairs Office/ResLife/Dean of Students.

Syria's suggestion may be/is Draconian but the NCAA has NO rule in place. Coaches shouldn't be issuing restrictions/punishment for Student Affairs Issues. Miss practice, run the steps. Get a DUI/go to jail, deal with the Dean of Students. Even Animal House recognized that relationship.

And while Hoke claims to have no issue, somebody at UM should and it shouldn't be a coach.

One time is kids growing up. Doing jail time and then repeating the offense isn't simply being a college kid.
