This is the verbal they've been hinting at all week. This kid was never going anywhere else.

Once he gets on the Hoke "just show up and be great because we're Michigan" strength and conditioning plan the sky is the limit.

When a committed prospect drops his school, he is said to "de-commit".

I'm coining a new term for a committed prospect who's scholarship is pulled by his school: "de-offer".

"Michigan de-offered Erik Swenson three weeks before Signing Day."

Guess he didn't have a sleeping bag for hairball's in home visit

I get processing. OSU has done it. SEC schools do it. It happens. But pulling this kid's offer two weeks before signing day when he's been committed to Michigan since 2013...since before the new staff took over...is especially deplorable. Unless there is more to the story...ie some sort of transgression by the recruit...then I just don't think there is any way Hofbrau comes out of this looking good.

Swenson texted MLive that the Michigan pulled his scholarship last week without explanation. This is a good look for Harbaugh and staff
