I'm sure there will be more mudslinging from this one.
EDIT: For those who didn't click the link, he says that JH says they didn't know if they would have room for him and ultimately offered him a PWO. He does thank JH and UofM for the opportunity. Not as bad as Swenson, but some will overreact to it.

It would be a little different if the employer initially told you that you had the job.

Interviews and offers are not the same in any way. Your analogy isn't good. Stop trying to spin it.

I can't fault Weaver at all for feeling mad and disrespected. I don't like what Harbaugh is doing. If a kid is a plan B don't offer him until you strike out on your plan A. This looks terrible for the squad and if I was a parent I'd start feeling very weary of sending my kid to AA espicially if he wasn't a high 4 star recruit.

who are all these people tweeting this kid? I've never actually been on a recruit's twitter feed but I just checked Weaver's and it embarrasing how many Michigan people are tweeting him.
Rant done. Get off my lawn. Hurr, hurr and all that.

If the PWO and a first-rate education is not what you want, then I understand. Do what you think is best for you and good luck to you in your future college choice.

Well we knew this was coming and at least he visited some other schools in the meanwhile. I am hoping he finds a good landing spot and does well.
I also hope Harbaugh and the staff learned from these events and perhaps handle things a little better next year. The little to.no contact thing sucks.

As much as some of us are angry about this, it's the way things work now. And the kid isn't totally innocent. He took a paid, official visit while "committed". It truly does go both ways.

I don't understand why offers like these were ever committable. Poorly handled all around.
January 25th, 2016 at 9:46 PM ^
January 25th, 2016 at 9:54 PM ^
Because I'm assuming the kid isn't a pathological liar?
Some people here will convince themselves of anything to maintain their opinion that the coaching staff is flawless.

If the same exact situation happens at Ohio State, with the same info we have with this situation, not a single person here would be defending it.

I have no problem with this case at hand but the logic some are using to defend it is unbelievable.

FSU was an example. All im saying is kids flip on signing day every year and the other program is fucked. I'm sick of people acting like these poor kids are getting screwed over. He hasn't heard from the staff in months, takes a visit back in November to temple, and now he is upset he may not have a spot in the class??? Like he said, this is a business.

"This is a business" is always used to justify people being jerks to other people. Of course people have reaons for doing what they do. But the main points of people being critical are:
1. They had hoped Michigan would be better than being jerks to other people (seriously? -if it's true- no contact for months? Hoping people just get hints? - hey maybe it's not true I hope it's not but if it is - What kind of business is this? Middle school dating?)
2. And I think this one might be more useful applicable to your point of view: If you are a business that jerks other people people around, eventually you get the reputation for doing exactly that and it hurts your business. Since "this is a buisness" that is often a poor approach

Wtf?
How is being able to choose between Michigan and Florida State the same as having an offer from Michigan dropped?

I'll give Harbaugh benefit of the doubt but this is not good and when the same thing happens over and over its more than misscomunication or just one side of the story.
Gotta think Hacket will ask Harbaugh to find a better way of handling this situation.

And if he does offer them early, and accepts their committment, he needs to tell them one of two things:
1) You are Plan A. We want you without any qualifications and you will not lose your slot in favor of somebody else. And then honor that statement.
2) You are Plan B. We are interested in you, but we are also looking at other recruits. If we do not go with them, the slot is yours. But not until then. Do not assume you have a slot.
Also, let the Plan B guys know their status as soon as possible. Don't just ignore them.

I don't feel bad for this kid. Business is business. If this is the worst thing that this team ever does, I'll take it. The fucking Univeristy of Michigan took away a scholarship to an average football player. Why don't we call CNN. You guys all need to grow up. This is Michigan you're talking about. Just all of you shutup right now!
