I've talked to a couple of people more "in the know" than the pair I originally heard the rumor from and they discarded it.

Next time, I'll check a little further before I post any rumors of this magnitude. I picked this one up from the same source(s) that told me of Mike Bales turning pro and Brian Loney flunking out and leaving for juniors. Both of those turned out to be true, so I figured the grapevine between Columbus and Ann Arbor was fairly accurate ---- and it was until this past weekend. Sorry if I caused any undue stress (or excitement). :-)
