Harbaugh, Mario Manningham, and 25(!) Michigan coaches invade Ohio for Satellite Camp
One town, one high school, three hours, 360 high school players and 26 Michigan coaches.
Today's satellite camp was at Warren Harding HS in Ohio. Key details:
-Jersey of the day was Mario Manningham, and Mario was a guest speaker.
-First order of business was all 25 Michigan coaches stood up on a stage and introduced themselves. This was clearly a less-than-subtle showing that Ohio recruiting is important and Michigan isn't afraid to invade their state.
-The Warren Harding football coach had nothing but praise for Harbaugh. Said the same invitation was sent out for Ohio State and Michigan. Ohio State only brought 2 people:the running backs coach and a recruiting staffer. Never a bad thing to get in good with the coach of a powerful football school.
Noteable alumni of Harding: Manningham, Prescott Burgess, Maurice Clarett (lol)
-Here's a suprisingly unbiased and good read from cleveland.com

It has a few good videos in the article.
Harbaugh is now on his way back to Paramus to give the commencement speech.
It started yesterday (Thursday) and goes through today (Friday).

Who's "he"? Harbaugh? Yes.
In mid-October let's remember that this week, while JH was flying around the country talking to HS players and coaches, Mork Dan7onio was at Augusta golfing with Herbie the Love Buck and Kork Coupons.
Yes. But maybe as much about recruiting coaches as players. After one year, Harbaugh already has a Michigan coaching tree. If this is going to be a long-term successful program, many coaches will leave for head jobs or coordinator jobs in the coming years. It is smart to get to know college and HS coaches, at every level, all over the country. You get to see how they interact with players and other coaches, rather than only relying on word of mouth when there's an opening. The camps are a smart thing to do in many ways. Or even Mo Ways.

while our staff is out there at all these satelite camps seeing thousands of kids who will never make it to our program, OSU and Alabama are still reeling in the big fish.
This is about recruiting, and those who deny it are not playing with a full deck.
My biggest concern is that Harbaugh and his staff are spending so much time out there and this isnt as productive as a couple of key camps would be.
Come fall, my question is what kind of mental shape are these guys going to be in after this enormous swarm?
