Transfer Stanford DT Swann to IU

This was one of the guys Michigan was looking at in January.   My guess is that Michigan took a pass?

I would assume grades were not an issue.

Meh points don't work anyways, and given the recent uptick in political and crazy virus conspiracy theory posts coupled with the seemingly endless wave of decommitment/transfer/CRUTIN news lately,  Im not too suprised OP might have missed us not getting a DT transfer.

I find the transfer question to be of great interest.  It would be great if everyone (both teams and the individual) came out ahead with every transfer (and we could prove it with wins and draft position.)

It does appear that all news for Michigan is bad news.  All wins are meaningless.  All loses were huge upsets or big games.

But there is always, "Space, bitches, space!" as we did calculate what it would take to get to the moon and back in engineering dynamics class.  Sorry, this post prompted me to look up Prof. Karnopp which brought me (belatedly) sad news.  https://me.engin.umich.edu/news-events/news/remembering-bruce-karnopp

His story problems were hilarious (Bruce Kimball diving distance, engineer makes right-hand turns so cheerleader slides closer to him on slippery car seat (back in the days of bench seats in front.)

What probably happened is that he wanted a guarantee to start and the coaches said no, you would have to win a starting spot. So he decided to head to IU where he will have a better chance to start. It would have been nice to have him the DT rotation. I hope there's a few more out there but the good one at MS will probably stay south.

Memo from the desk of former President Nixon:

"My fellow Americans, in 1968 on the TV program Laugh In, I told you to, and I quote, 'sock it to me!' You may stop now."
