Fox Sports and Rivals slam Harbaugh recruiting tactics

[gingerlover]

Looks like Michigan just pulled a kids offer out from under him today. 6-7 285 Tackle with nothing but Big 10 school offers. Curious if this is one for Mac to look at as Northwestern is his second school listed or if there is a reason he got bailed on other than needing to add weight.

Could we get a little more information besides the fact he is a Meeechigan reject?

Michigan didn't want him anyway.

Erik Swenson says Michigan recently called and pulled his offer, canceled his OV w/out a reason. He committed in '13 https://www.mlive.com/wolverines/index.ssf/2016/01/erik_swenson_decommits_from_mi.html…

In an interview with MLive this summer, Swenson explained how it was important to him to stick to his commitment during the program's coaching transition -- because, as he put it, he committed to a school and not necessarily a coach.

"You have to stick with your commitment, you committed to Michigan, you have to honor that," Swenson said in June. "You made a commitment and you have to show you're willing to honor it. There will be ups and downs at any place, and any place you go you'll have to show you can push through them."

Swenson is the second player to decommit from Michigan's class in the past week. Three-star corner Sir Patrick Scott also reopened his recruitment last week.

Michigan now lists a total of 23 public commitments (seven are early enrollees) in its 2016 recruiting class with exactly two weeks to go before signing day.

True GatorStud, we need a good cast of characters in our OL. Trolling for big-uns is
a good thing. Inn keeping with Mac's "for-the-team" philosophy we need as many
groupers as we can get.

We'll take him. What's the worst that can happen, we recruit another Mike?

Why? Did you see his picture?

Apparently they don't have weights to lift at his school. He has the arms and chest of Kyle Trask.

So if Mac pulls scholies he's getting better guys but if Harbaugh does it? He's a dick? Hell, I want the asshats like Harbaugh and Saban and Meyer. Nice guys finish last.

 

[Durty South Swamp]

Yea if that kid wants to play o line, I'd pull his scholly as well. 2 way street, and his part is more than simply staying committed to the same school. I'm sure the offer was contingent on certain things, like, oh I dunno... Weighing more than the running backs you'll be blocking for?

3* skills. 5* character.

:D

Rivals has him listed as 6'5" 300 pounds **** (4 stars). He does look a little thin in the photo, but he is good size and weight for a high school kid. I'd be interested in him, but I would also be concerned about why Harbaugh dropped him.
