Harbaugh and Durkin once babysat 2016 DE Recruit Connor Murphy
Harbaugh and Durkin were on an official visit to recruit Connor's older brother Trent to Stanford in 2009. The boys' mother went into labor and so Harbaugh and Durkin stayed behind to babysit while mom and dad went to the hospital.
They were there for several hours babysitting six kids, including then 8 year old Connor. They played chess and drank milk.
Connor is now a 4* WDE.

I wonder if Harbaugh took his shirt off to play chess?
Whole milk, not that candy-ass 2%
I recall hearing the story too. But its a good one so I think its fine to recycle, it just needs enhanced each round, like...
Harbaugh babysits like Mary Poppins, but neater!
You're not crazy (at least due to this)

Or do the years not make sense given Connor's supposed current age of 17? For this to be accurate, wouldn't Connor have to be 11 back in 2009?
...and since this was a recruiting visit, where was the nearly/adult aged brother? (Trent) Couldn't he help with the siblings?
It is all good.
Harbaugh!
Hence the chess and not Dora. You shouldn't really leave an 11 year old alone when you go have a baby. Will most likely take a few hours.
***Also, the story needs to be embellished for the media to be interested.
was in 2008? Harbaugh was recruiting Trent for the 2009 class.

What has Dantonio done today that is newsworthy?

If you lose a pawn, you have to do ten pushups. Lose a rook, bishop, or knight, you do fifty pushups and 100 situps. Lose your queen and Jim gets to take a shot at your solar plexus while your mouth is full of milk. Lose any milk and he gets another swing.
The one taking the piece does the pushups and situps. The goal is to get better, not to sit around.
I believe that is called Peru Chess
What are the chances he ends up in this class, given how quickly we filled up already and other positions potentially being of higher emphasis (eg DT, TE)?
Ace put in a ballz for him to M back in January. A more recent pick in June has him going to Oregon. But only 4 ballz overall.
247 does say Drevno visited him on April 30, so we're still after him, apparently.
Still need a WDE though, that's an absolutely essential need. X. Kelly and Daniel Joseph, then this kid. Need to have multiple oars in the water. I assume they'd take whoever's first.
But I'm still confused about the SDE, WDE, and Buck LB positions. We'll have an SDE position, that seems clear. Do the WDE and Buck stay on the field at the same time? If Buck is essentially a SAM who can put his hand down, doesn't that fly in the face of the nickel defense Brian and Co. have been saying Durkin will run? Nickel means Peppers as the fifth DB along with two safeties, which means two ILB's. Is that WDE the Buck LB in that scenario?

AMERICA!!!!
J Leman approves!
How come we haven't (at least I haven't) heard much about him? I remember this story from a couple of months ago but that's it. According to 247, he's 50% to us.
Are we sure this isn't actually a scene from that Saved by the Bell episode Harbaugh was on? Harbaugh and Durkin have just put the kids down, and they're enjoying a pleasant game of chess and glasses of milk when...Screech shows up and all hell breaks loose!
although he claimed it was to cut the umbilical cord.
Great, another recruiting violation...
I'm surprised he didn't have Durkin watch the kids while he delivered the baby himself!
