Dytarious Johnson Now a 3*

Only a 3 star?

when Mrs. Harbaugh(s) were preggy?

This happens on every recruiting service any time a player who is rated less than 3* accepts an offer at a traditional power.  Every time.  They assume (probably correctly) that a school like Michigan has no need to recruit players that are only 2*, and that the coaches have watched more film and spent more time in person and are therefore more likely to make the correct judgment.  It's not just Harbaugh and it's not just Michigan.  Other than punters and long-snappers, it's seriously hard for a school like Alabama or FSU or OSU or UM to get stuck with even a single 2* player come signing day, even if they sign kids that should be (which probably very rarely happens).

In some cases certain recruiting services go overboard based on the amount of money they get in subscriptions from certain fan bases, e.g. there is at least one site that pretty consistently overrates any kid as soon as they get an offer from ND; not surprisingly, they get a lot of money from ND fans.  People don't pay money to get bad news.

STARbaugh'd. n. - the result of having received addiitional recruiting website evaluation stars when you're being recruited by Jim Harbaugh for the University of Michigan football team. adj. description of a high school football player whose recruiting website evaluation improves merely because he is being recruited by Jim Harbaugh for the University of Michigan.

STARbaugh. v. to increase a high school football player's website evaluation rating after discovering that he is being recruited by Jim Harbaugh for the University of Michigan.

She thinks Jake is a 5 star stud.

Wouldn't that make it the Michigan Effect?

fullback and long snappers and that is about it 

It has more to do with Michigan - where 2 star guys get bumps up to 3 even if they are recruited by Brady Hoke - then with Harbaugh, who recruited 7 2-stars in his '08 class. [Though, if Harbaugh was still coaching Stanford today, that wouldn't happen again either.]

definitely. And the only reason he is not a four star right now is because the services do not want to admit that they overlooked him.

Only 3?

It's a well known fact that stars increase your overall harbaughness.

Yep. He's 1.5 times better already.

Yep Yep - kids go thru amazing growth spurts at these ages.  Hearing he gained 3 inches and 30 lbs since the committment.

EVERYTHING!

these camps are. Look how much he improved in a few hours. Imagine what he can do in a few years.

Bless their hearts.

I can't take this article seriously b/c the guy who wrote it looks like he needs a shower and someone to help him move out of his parents basement.

My goodness, the butthurt from that blog over the last few weeks..."lazily poach." Sadly, this isn't the only place I've seen someone imply something like this regarding DJ's commitment. Two minutes of research would show the writer that the coaches already knew about DJ from recruiting the two previous Prattville commits and he had visited M before.
Also, they've never heard of anyone attending college far from home?

Dammit. I read the comments.

I have to make a drive from Michigan to Louisiana and back.  My route will now skip Mississippi so I can drive through Alabama.  Their tears go great with Po Boys

the amazing level of self righteious hypocrisy I'm very impressed by the writing in this blog.  I've never heard the phrase "dad jeaned toadstool"  If anybody has a picture of such a toadstool please share. 

what kind of threads we'll start seeing when Saban retires or Bama starts to lose its status at the top of CFB.
