Interesting...He's a gourmet 4 star recruit who also had an offer from Tennessee. Looks like he run track too. Hmm
I wonder who else isn't playing football at ND this year cause 1 or 2 must be leaving it are no longer on the team? They wouldn't have taken a transfer otherwise

Is this the grad transfer BK was alluding to? I thought I remembered him saying it wasn't a skill position but maybe I have that backwards. Some were speculating a QB.

Anything more on the rumors about Stepherson? Don't ask me for details because I have nothing except some people suggested some things might be going on with him (maybe/maybe not related to the car incident). That was a couple months ago I think?

Sounds like he will be a grad tranfer with two years of eligibility left

Nothing to do with players transferring, at least no one specifically at this time. We need the ST bodies and more depth at WR doesn't hurt. We'll have the space.

According to ISD, no. Nothing to do with Stepherson.

According to 18Stripes ND is at 85 but I have them at 86. It appears they are not counting Finke - calling him a "1 year scholarship candidate".
No way Finke is not on scholarship next year so they are at 86. Someone is leaving or they expect attrition. I know, shocking.

They include MVG who I believe is done playing football.
If you don't mind me asking... Source? I keep making jokes about MVG going on a medical and never get corrected.

Give me a few minutes to find it. I definitely saw something official.
So when scUM sh!tcannes a recruit on the front end it's called getting Swensoned but when they sh!tcan a current player on the back end it's getting Canteened.
Got it.

OK, so I know I saw something on MVG possibly being done. However, he is on all 3 rosters I have seen recently. Maybe they were rumors that didn't play out or haven't played out yet.

Wouldn't be the first time. How many times was McGovern rumored to have retired?

He played as a freshman for Hoke. Hoke led and he didn play much as a Soph for Harbaugh. Then he had 2 shoulder injuries. Wasn't able to play last year. Graduated early as he was an EE. Ran a 4.43 in HS and was a 4 star. Looks totally ripped and will be the only SR. WR on the team and has 2 years eligibility.
Hopefully he's a player. Scored a TD against OSU

MCG was the source. He told SBT himself. It was reported two weeks ago that he's taking a graduate transfer UVA. Check his profile.

2014 Recruiting: Freddy Canteen | mgoblog
A very good breakdown from MGoBlog of him as a recruit. Worth noting that the sham school ECA produced a lot of busts, including Kenny Bigelow at USC. The fact that he was pushed out of the program by Harbaugh should be troubling to everyone, but we absolutely needed another body at WR even if just for practice. It's also important to note that after some rave offseason reviews as a true frosh and limited contribution on the field, he bounced around between WR and CB as a soph before getting kicked out of the program for having shoulder surgery. It remains to be seen which position he may factor in at, because we need bodies at both.
He has the athletic traits to be a good roster add if he's healthy, so no way to look at this as anything but a positive.

Yep.
Where is our resident SCUM lover Tom. Would like an honest evaluation of this kid from him. Would also like to know if this kid got a raw deal...

What I'd be most interested to know is what happened during the 2015 season and what people's opinions were. If I remember correctly, Michigan's 2 WR offense meant that basically no one but Chesson and Darboh got PT. Where was Canteen on the depth chart during that and why?
As a true frosh, he was likewise right behind those guys on the depth chart and played more total snaps... so I'm wondering if his disappearance was based on injury, falling out of favor, scheme, or talent... or a combination of all four.
As a freshman, the situation is explicable. Will Fuller had a similar number of targets/catches as a true frosh behind more experienced guys. I want to know why he was pushed to the side and then out after Harbaugh took over. Hopefully the reason isn't "he sucks" but that'd be the most simple and logical.

he has never given an honest opinion about anything scUM up to this point why now?

Your assumption about the lack of PT is most likely correct.
But this move is still a good one by the staff. The WR corp is thin and could use some bodies and some veterans. Hunter retiring from football and Holmes transferring made some holes.
So if all Canteen turns into is a special teams player and depth at the WR position I'm all for it. Any other production is just icing on the cake.
