pay back for Michigan going up into Wisconsin and stealing Ben Bredeson in the 2016 class.
While I would have liked him to stay home, his UW offer was to play OG and he wanted to be a tackle. As a tackle, he's a great guard. His brother being at M playing baseball and the fact that his parents hated Andersen sealed the deal.
It was not a "steal". It was a done deal from day one, and UW got its in-state STARZ tackle that year anyway - who also had an M offer. Maybe he'll see the field more next year. Maybe.
