The wording he used connotes that Michigan or UCLA were in pole position to land his services before the Harrison commitment. Otherwise he would have said the Harrison commitment makes his decision easier, not harder. Subsequent to Harrison's commitment, it's tough to tell, but packaged deals aren't one of the primary impetuses for a commitment more often than not. Hope I'm wrong, but IMO the Talbott Twins choose Michigan, making me feel like offering Harrison was counterproductive. Not that the Badgers original intention was to woo the Talbott Twins, because I think UW was the first offer for all 3.
