Harbaugh headlining Georgia satellite camp at Valdosta State
Harbaugh is scheduled to be the headliner at the Valdosta State "Night of Champions" June 4 satellite camp. http://www.mlive.com/wolverines/index.ssf/2017/04/michigan_satellite_camp_tour_w.html#incart_river_index
UCLA also co-sponsoring a camp with Michigan. http://www.freep.com/story/sports/college/university-michigan/wolverines/2017/04/27/michigan-football-camp/100993720/
Live from Tuscaloosa....
...we're joining forces with UCLA?
Totally makes sense. When Mora gets fired in December, Harbaugh can go after all their best recruits.
Exactly, keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

But in response to your post...Harbaugh has already lost that battle more than once.
- Josh Rosen
- Keisean Lucier-South
- Chris Clark
- Boss T. (and Devin Asiasi if you count the transfer since they'll get more/better years than we did)
- Darnay Holmes and Jimmy Jaggers last year
- ...and now DTR
UCLA has kicked our ass in head-to-head recruiting battles.
The one win that I recall transfered...and to UCLA. Oh wait, Long and Crawford were definitely wins. Can't think of anyone else though.
To be fair, the kids Michigan and UCLA have gone head to head on skew heavily in UCLA's geographic favor.
Pretty sure UCLA also wanted McCaffrey, Vilain, & Filliga. I don't know if these guys ever considered UCLA, but it's hard to imagine wouldn't have taken guys like DPJ, Ruiz, Solomon, or Gary if they had interest.
But, in general, yeah it's probably gonna be hard to pull an out of region guy away from a CA school like a USC or UCLA and even more so if they are from the West Coast. Guys like Long will probably be the exception, but it is progress and hopefully more will come in the future slowly but surely.

Makes a ton of sense, Fisch was on Harbaughs staff, they're two high academic schools with 900 lb gorilla rivals to the South and they both utilize some variety of blue and yellow for their colors. More in common than not, so may as well strengthen ties. After all a Southern California kid who is not ticketed to USC is likely a guy Michigan can swing and if the Michigan name gets more kids to the UCLA camp, then both sides win.
So with the rules can we not just have camps at like UAB, Georgia State etc. for 10 days or is that against the rules?

At first when I saw Georgia and Satellite together I immediately thought of this:
