Sophomore cornerback Boubacar Cissoko has been kicked off the Michigan football team, his high school coach, Thomas Wilcher of Detroit Cass Tech, said tonight.

"He missed class, missed workouts," said Wilcher, who said he spoke to a U-M assistant coach and Cissoko today. "Now he's got to make something, because he blew it."

Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez released this statement: "Boubacar Cissoko has been dismissed for a violation of team rules."

Can you imagine an Ohio State coach ever EVER talking about a player like that?

"He can't handle it here" "No kid is ever bigger than the program."

It's totally unprofessional of these coaches. They're hurting Booboo's chances of getting a shot somewhere else. (not that he automatically deserves it, but I'm just pointing out the difference between the Ohio State coaches and those [censored]head coaches up north).

It was his HS coach.

Frankly this kid was way over-rated. Watching him in the AA-bowl game getting torched repeatedly....couldn't help but think that this kid was over-rated by Scout....which gave him a 5-star rating if I remember right. Time and time again this year he got picked on by offenses, and got burnt for TDs. I don't think TSUN is gonna miss much here.....I guess it frees up a schollie for them. Does he transfer to WVU now?

Floyd demolished him that game and did the same to him in college.

Yep. He had a shocker against ND.....I think he lost his starting job after that game.

Marlin Jackson just called. He remembers the days at scUM you could smash a bottle over a kid's head and only miss a half.

An enigma
When I watched the AA game.. plus when I watched any scUM games, he looked really bad
but I remember reading comments from he other kids that played in the AA game and they raved about this kid...
dunno

While you were on the phone with Marlin, Justin Feagin called and he remembers the days when you could sell coke and not miss anything.

Best of luck to wherever he ends up.

Hey, Larry Harrison (Michigan player arrested for indecent exposure) is also on the phone, he said he loves what RR has done with the program and RR motivated him to start wearing pants almost everyday...almost!!!!

Yep...and to be honest I don't mind it. Cissoko screwed up and his HS coach called him for it. There's nothing wrong with being brutally honest...often it's exactly what a kid needs to get his head on straight.

I'd much rather have those statements than have the former coach making excuses & acting as a facilitator for Cissoko's behavior.
