IL OL Erik Swenson (Oklahoma Signee)

I get processing. OSU has done it. SEC schools do it. It happens. But pulling this kid's offer two weeks before signing day when he's been committed to Michigan since 2013...since before the new staff took over...is especially deplorable. Unless there is more to the story...ie some sort of transgression by the recruit...then I just don't think there is any way Hofbrau comes out of this looking good.

Yes, in fairness, this is not a unique situation. I remember a WR, whose name escapes me, from Palm Beach County going through a similar thing quite late in the process with OSU during the Tressel era. He ended up at NC State I think. And this happens elsewhere. A kid is going through a similar thing with the Vols right now.

That does not make it ok. "Deplorable" is a fitting description. And TSUN is still a refuse pit.

I don't like it. I've said as much, even when Ohio State has appeared to have done it. But this situation is particularly egregious.

James Jackson?

No, he was from *ichigan. But that was another interesting story.

Birm (on twitter) is unsuccessfully trying to draw parallels between this instance and the mutual split between Ohio State and George Hill in October.

2 completely different situations. Timing is everything. Screw Harball.

I thought it was Richard Washington. Or did he just flip?

James Jackson?

James Jackson signed with Ohio State, spent a couple years in the program, and then transferred (at the request of Tressel) to Wayne State.

Washington was either a flip or a last minute decision between OSU and NCSU. That was '02 (Hawk, D'Andrea, etc.), I believe.

He left us not the other way around.

Washington committed to Ohio State, then flipped on Signing Day to NC State.

Because Ohio State was reserving a scholarship for Washington, the Buckeyes didn't have a scholarship for LB Buster Davis, who ended up having a pretty good career at Florida State.

Buster Avis, I think you mean.

Buster Avis, I think you mean.

Any news on this guy or should I check the Barksdale thread?

OSU did this with Taivon Jacobs. And it didn't look good for the staff. That is a much more comparable situation than George Hill.
