Good to add a high caliber recuit at a position of need to the family..Good Luck Mr Swenson and work hard.

Hooray!
November 25th, 2013 at 4:57 PM ^
That's great news. Young tackle prospect with a ton of potential.
It looks like he's a kid who could figure into the 5 Star discussion (at least early on)...

Swenson was the commit watch from last night. Pretty good start to the 2016 class. Could be the top OL in the midwest.
November 25th, 2013 at 5:18 PM ^
a very highly recruited guy yes, that hoke will turn into a turnstile
November 25th, 2013 at 5:18 PM ^
Congratulations on a wonderful decision

His Dudeness talks s*** about everyone.

I'm sorry but why are we excited this kid's commitment? Under this current staff, he has just thrown away his entire future. As an alum, i love Michigan Football with all my being, but I would not wish the developmental prowess of Hoke and staff on any high school student.

You want to encourage kids to come here (not in creepy twitter stalker way but saying welcome on a message board and what not).
Even if the not developing meme is true and the coaches do end up getting the boot someday, I sure as hell don't want another cupboard empty situation for the next guy. USC is a great example. Kiffin couldn't coach a lick but he recruited his ass off. The next guy that walks in there has everything he needs. So if your opinion is true about the coaching, then you better be rooting for them to recruit like crazy because I don't want to do the cupboard empty bs again.this was all kind of discussed in the visitor thread and the don't boo your team thread. Just because your pissed at the coaches doesn't mean you need to ruin a kids experience or piss on someone's big moment.

I'm not trying to ruin Swenson's experience or belittle his decision. Just expressing the point that until major changes are made (not necessarily Hoke but at the very least Borges, Funk, and Jackson) there is no point in getting excited over a commitment as they will not be developed and will never reach their full potential.
