Jimmy King posted the following to his Instagram about supporting Michigan and Juwan Howard:
I’m old enough to remember when some former Michigan players criticized the football program and wanted Coach Harbaugh to leave the program. I watched the same people celebrate the Natty like they never uttered those words or displayed those sentiments. One thing I don’t play with is family. If you claim to be “family” but mention the state of the program and our coaches without discussing concerns face to face like real ones do in these situations to get a true pulse on the program, then you’re comments are egregious and littered with misinformation. In short, the same Michigan “family” members who have an opinion about our players and staff need to check themselves. Don’t throw rocks and hide your hands phonies. We see you!!!! THOSE WHO STAY WILL BE CHAMPIONS!!!! ]V[ GO BLUE FOREVER!!!! #MichiganBasketball #NoSelfInflictedShade
Nik Stauskas, who the message could be about, replied in the comments:
