Yuri Wright - Colorado gave this guy a scholarship?

Yuri Wright, the 4-star CB from New Jersey, was once though to be headed to Michigan in the 2012 class. Earlier this month, the Michigan coaching staff took a deeper look into the prospect after a concerned alumnus sent the school verbatim tweets that Yuri had posted on his Twitter account that were both racially and sexually unacceptable.

Oh my--- A black teenage kid using the word Nigga and saying he wants some pussy.

Big fucking deal.

Meanwhile:
Marvin Robinson, a sophomore safety on the Michigan football team, is accused of breaking into a room at West Quad dormitory in September and stealing a video game.

Robinson, 20, was arraigned last week on a charge of second degree home invasion and released on a promise to appear. He is accused of breaking into a locked dorm room at 10 p.m. Sept. 29 and stealing the game. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Wednesday at 1 p.m. in 14A District Court, where Robinson is expected to be represented by a public defender. If convicted, Robinson could face a maximum of 15 years in prison.

"We are aware of the report," Michigan coach Brady Hoke said in a statement. "We will let the legal process run its course, and we will not have any further comment until that time."

This is more of a personal issue regarding the use of the game; Robinson used it all the time. I'll have to see if I can dig up the story but he didn't believe he was stealing it (I think he even had a key to the room) and returned it when the person asked for it.
