Potential Shakeup on OT Recruiting Board?
Per some speculation and detective work via twitter,
Garrett Fishaw @MGoFish 33m
Shake up coming to #Michigan's 2016 OT board?
According to The Wolverine's Michael Spath, longtime Michigan commit OT Erik Swenson may not end up signing with UM.
On top of that, Michigan's recruiting coordinator Matt Dohety has recently started following OT EJ Price.
Lastly...Chris Partridge @CoachCPartridge 7h
A2 --> NJ --> LA --> San Fran --> Orlando --> Atlanta --> NJ --> A2 Catch me if you can & GoBlue! #SignwiththeStars
That stop in ATL makes a lot more sense now if it is indeed for EJ Price, who is from the ATL area.
***UPDATE: Elysee-Mbem-Bosse (LB) is the likely reason for the ATL stop.

Interesting. Swenson was a Hoke guy afterall.

I'm not saying the coaches are pushing them out but I doubt the coaches use star ratings.

I'm sure this will eventually get old, but for right now I'm enjoying it immensely.
Up you should keep it, Master Yoda. (Man, that's not as easy as it looks!)

Much better Roughneck. I'm a mere padawan.

....but if it is longer than 4 hours, see your doctor.

Rivals has hinted for months of an eventual Swenson departure from this recruiting class.

Last ITF they made it clear. Spath also talked about it in his attrition post yesterday.
January 18th, 2016 at 7:30 PM ^
According to recruiting sites (and apparently the coaching staff) Swenson hasn't developed much over the last two years.

Therefore he is committing to OREGON!

....but I am sure he still has good pad level.

Kalis over Pocic and Pipkins over Schutt.

You're thinking he's in the mold of players such as Bryan Mone, Mason Cole, Chris Wormley, Maurice Hurst, Ryan Glasgow, Taco Charlton, Jourdan Lewis, Drake Johnson, and Jabrill Peppers?

That's Ben Bredeson. Swenson is from Illinois
January 18th, 2016 at 8:52 PM ^
.......A totally different Viking altogether!!!
January 18th, 2016 at 7:50 PM ^
Swenson was the dude who committed as a freshman and was purported to be one of the top guys in the 2016 class. Obviously things change as you grow up
(see: so many Michigan hockey recruits who were 'best in the world' in their age group as a 14 year old commit)
January 18th, 2016 at 8:10 PM ^
that soccer wunderkind when he was like 12?
Don't really hear much about that guy. . .
January 18th, 2016 at 9:11 PM ^
Wasn't he actually 2-3 years older than listed? Or was that someone else?

The recruiting sites' claimed sources are from someone who is close to the coaching staff fwiw. The feeling isn't just based on his rankings but also insider info which claims that he just hasn't gotten any better since he was a sophomore.
Edit: this is what I've read on free message boards. I'm not poaching from the pay sites.

+1 for you.

It's creepy enough when people overanalyze a recruits tweets. You're talking it to another level stalking their follows. Give it a break.
January 18th, 2016 at 7:41 PM ^
without ever being on Twitter. I read it on MGoBlog and a few other Michigan sites.
