Erik Swenson. Two weeks before signing day after being committed for over two years. Michigan recruiting doesn't seem to have been affected by the fallout.

They haven't.

I think I understand it pretty well. There is a reason why we didn't let him commit. Recruiting is fluid, dude. There is also no evidence that his offer was actually pulled. We just could have just told KD he couldn't sign in the early period, a fairly reasonable action for a fringe recruit. I...

The publicity of the situation is totally dependent on the recruit. I'm sure we've told plenty of recruits that we cannot take their commitment. Its just up to them on how they want to handle it. Some take shots at the staff (Littlejohn, Davis, Walker) and others just play it off and move on.

Dude, this happens every signing day...Welcome to the show...

Honestly, this will be forgotten about fairly quickly. Everyone on here is making a bigger deal out of this than it really is. It may be because we've been so bad for so long that we don't know how real football programs operate, idk. Yes, this sucks for Kevyon Davis, but it is just how...

This is just my thinking. I also think that most people take the commitment video the wrong way. He burns his recruiting letters from the schools that recruited him and the fire tells him where to go. This means that he burned the Texas letter too. Yes, you see the Illinois letter burning, but...

The nature of Ayodele's signing ceremony, combined with his recent official visit, leaves my slightly optimistic. He definitely sees value in our program and has respect for our coaching staff, especially Lovie Smith. He is already verbally committed to Texas. Putting our hat on the table and...

Verbal commit. Recruiting process just playing itself out. He has been on campus several times since his commitment. Definitely seems like something interesting going on here. Don't want to get my hopes up too much though.

I still think we are a long shot with Houston Griffith. He never really considered us. What I am optimistic about is Verdis Brown. The decommit of one of his buddies may encourage him to do the same.

Just speculating here, but it is definitely worth looking at this another way. Lovie and staff are not just rebuilding the program by improving on field performance, they are also changing the attitude in and around the program. While you might lose upperclassmen who have shown production...

Just speculating, but maybe Aaron Antoniou (LB). Another former Chicago-area kid (Hinsdale).

Verdis Brown has also received a lot of attention. Lineman at IMG, but before that Mt Carmel. Would be a huge get.

Not every recruit is going to be a star for us. He is an athlete that provides depth. He may only see special teams reps, but he is the type of recruit that can help improve those units from the sorry state they are currently in. Bottom line, probably not a future starting safety, but adding...

At least we weren't a part of the hat trick lol
