Submitted by Wool Vereen on

decent article "How Jim Harbaugh recruited Andrew Luck from Houston and what it could mean for Michigan's future in Texas"

nothing groundbreaking, just more insight into JMFH

(btw, excuse the osu stuff on the page, it being an ohio website and all)

Texas is a place where UM needs to have a presence, even if it means just one or two players a year. Teams from the '90s had key players from Texas and other Southern states.

Stanford always recruits nationally, which makes sense seeing as it's an academics-oriented private school. Seems like Harbaugh can use UM's academics to recruit nationally as well. I'm really excited for the 2016 class. No reason why it shouldn't be one of the best in the country, especially if the team can win eight or nine games.

Stanford and Michigan are kind of apples and oranges here.  I think the Michigan product is big enough and Harbaugh is sweet enough to put a run it at some top quality guys, but Stanford is Stanford.  I know a lot of our grad programs are up there, but these kids are going for undergrad, which is in a class of its own, maybe shared by Harvard, Princeton, and Yale.

I don't ever recall being so anxious to see a Hello post on these pages.  It's been too long, like since July that an actual commitment has stuck.

Will Harbaugh let kids major in engineering?

 

I'm still salty over losing Hand to Alabama because he could major in Civil Engineering there.
