"Michigan and Harbaugh received a lot of scorn after Swenson's revelation on Wednesday when it appeared the scholarship revocation was sudden.
I say that because two weeks ago, when we began dropping major hints in our Inside The Fort columns, we were told that Swenson was no longer a Michigan commitment. We have also been told by multiple sources (though admittedly one of those sources on the Michigan side) that the Swensons were told back in November that he should be looking around because he may not have a committable offer.
We were also told by a source out of Downers Grove that the Michigan coaches asked Swenson to camp at U-M over the summer so the staff could properly evaluate him (he refused) and we were told that it was understood that Swenson’s senior year would serve as an evaluation period because this coaching staff had never seen him in-person and wanted to know if he was a good fit for the program.
The column also goes on to cite sources that said Swenson, a four-star recruit, "played not to get hurt instead of playing to show that he was dominant and the best player in the state." Swenson is rated the No. 2 prospect in the state of Illinois. He was also the final recruit verbally committed to Michigan who was recruited by former coach Brady Hoke...."
