I know you're just a troll, but I'll indulge. If that was Harbaugh's sentiments, he should have cut him loose when he got to AA. He was just Harbaugh's safety net. Now that he's landed safely on the ground, he moves on.

I guess Harbaugh only figured out in the last few days that Swenson wasn't his recruit. That has to be the only reason he waited until 2 weeks before NSD to let the kid know he wasn't wanted. Oh, and I'm sure in the interim after Hoke's canning and Harbaugh being hired he never told the kid that he was wanted. There's no way Harbaugh would have misled the kid, right?
 
I think the reality of the situation, which as you say may very well not be as nefarious as it appears on the surface, is not as important as how future recruits, parents, and high school coaches will perceive it.

Well, one week later, Swenson is expected to land at an excellent academic institution with a strong football program >> Wisconsin. And UM has received 4 known verbal commitments with rumors of 2 additional silent commits. So if early returns are any indication, the Swenson situation will have worked out very well for everyone. It won't mean anything to anyone other than those who want to cast aspersions at Harbaugh.

Good for him. But that's not going to change anyone's mind about the propriety of the situation, regardless of what their opinion is. It doesn't make it any more OK, so to speak.

The fact that this young may have found his way to another school does not excuse Harbaugh's handling of the entire matter.

So, in other words, Harbaugh "culls" his recruits. Nice.
