3rd Michigan player in a week leaves team

[NUance]

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Michigan tight end Chris Barnett has left the team, the third player this week to depart from the Wolverines. The school confirmed the move Thursday. The 6-foot-5, 250-pound freshman from Hurst, Texas, was a highly regarded player in coach Brady Hoke's first recruiting class. Barnett was ranked No. 20 among all tight ends by ESPNU 150 for the class of 2011. He was projected as a future starter because No. 1 tight end Kevin Koger is a senior.
Fellow freshman Tony Posada, an offensive lineman, and junior receiver Je'Ron Stokes, who had three career receptions for 27 yards, also left the program this week.

A couple of these guys where pretty good players. I wonder what's up?

Not sure, but it's even more puzzling that two of these guys are Freshmen. Attrition from upperclassmen is always expected when there's a coaching change. But when the players are Hoke's guys, from his first and only class...

Are they really Hoke's guys though? Wouldn't this have been Rodriguez's recruits still?

Perhaps but they still signed knowing who the head coach was

They may have known who the coach was, but maybe things weren't what they expected.
