Antioch (Calif.) five-star running back Najee Harris talks UCLA official visit, future visits w/@scoutrecruiting ($) http://www.scout.com/college/football/recruiting/story/1728352-5-star-najee-harris-talks-ucla-official-visit …
Getting him back on campus is big news, and hopefully signals his interest level.

wonder if this is why the Cam Akers visit is off now?
November 16th, 2016 at 6:44 PM ^
The visit isn't going to be this weekend. Originally it was, but he has quarterfinals now and can't make it. So now it'll be sometime in December.
November 16th, 2016 at 6:46 PM ^
CAAAAAAMMMMMM AKERS IS THE PLACE TO BE!
November 16th, 2016 at 7:45 PM ^
Akers is going to be the better back at the college level and it's not even close.
November 17th, 2016 at 9:01 AM ^
I agree to a certain extent. I think Akers would be better for our system, but I'd be elated with either RB.
Getting Akers may be more important though, because we could keep him away from OSU and he honestly reminds me of some of their recent, great backs. Landing him would be a win-win.
November 17th, 2016 at 9:45 AM ^
I agree that getting Akers would keep him away from OSU, which would be good. But he's always been a longshot.
I don't get the "system" thing, though. Michigan's "system" currently incorporates backs of all shapes and sizes, and they're all performing well. Isaac is 6'3", 230 lbs. and solid all-around, Smith is 6'0", 230 and more power than speed, Evans is 5'11", 185 and quick with very little power, and Higdon is 5'10", 195 with quickness and a little power.
There are various types of backs who can succeed at Michigan, and I think both Akers and Harris fit what we want.
November 17th, 2016 at 11:23 AM ^
I guess I just look at it that Coach Harbaugh seems to prefer someone in the Smith mold, but I guess that is a product of this pass-pro skills. I think (but could be wrong) that if he had a workhorse-type back that could still break the big play then he might prefer that. Again, I'd be happy with either, but my preference would be Akers if given the choice.

Not the best time to be visiting considering we will be preparing for the cfb playoff game in December...
November 16th, 2016 at 6:46 PM ^
Can't.
Stop.

Lol it hasn't been set. Just sometime in December which already had to happen since he's early enrolling.
November 16th, 2016 at 6:52 PM ^
Sometime in December I take it? Can't remember if he's an early enrollee or not.

Thank you. When I read posts from this exceptional group of minds, I often wonder what they woman who love them think. Always nice to peek inside that window.

She thinks I'm a crazy person, but between the hours at the hospital and prepping for cases UM football is our escape.

It's not shaping up to be a great day to visit based on the weather. 70 on Friday and 40 on Saturday. I guess it gives him an idea of what to expect while he is going here for 3-4 years.
November 16th, 2016 at 7:06 PM ^
70 on a mid-November Friday in Ann Arbor? Thank you global warning! That means it will be awful in the southern states. Oh well.
November 16th, 2016 at 7:13 PM ^
We are in the Golden Age of global warming. enjoy it
November 16th, 2016 at 8:13 PM ^
A meteorologist friend told me (8 years ago) that Michigan/Ontario/Western NY would have the climate of Northern Virginia in 2030. I don't know what 2040 will be like, but I'm thinking I can retire up north and don't have to worry about the whole snow bird thing. Sucks for my kids, but works for me.
November 16th, 2016 at 9:48 PM ^
0.5 degree increase in average global temperature can do.
November 16th, 2016 at 10:07 PM ^
We are actually now over 1.0 degree C higher than pre-industrial times. It was 80 degrees in Denver today which is an all-time November heat record.
November 16th, 2016 at 10:39 PM ^
And am counting on it, I was JUST thinking that yesterday. Now... to go for a walk on a beautiful night.
