Harbaugh Meeting with #1 Overall 2016 Pro Style QB Jacob Eason
Harbaugh is everywhere. After visiting California yesterday it appears Jim made the trip up to Washington to begin laying the groundwork for a potential flip of GA commit Jacob Eason. Eason is the #1 pro style QB in 2016 per 247 Composite; GA changed OCs (Bobo left for CSU) so we'll see if that hurts their relationship. ND and Bama are other key suitors. Looks like Nuss had some contact on behalf of UM earlier so he should at least be vaguely familiar with UM. (Looks like Nuss offered last year, same month as Costello)
2016 should be very interesting.

I'm curious to see how DeWeaver handles all these rumors and eventual commitment from other top QB's coming to Michigan. If he stays despite the elite competition I think he is exactly what Harbaugh wants and if not he wasn't the competitor we wanted anyway

now we know...

Is it known that Harbaugh has assured his offer to DeWeaver/that Messiah has reaffirmed his commitment?

Michigan stopped by to see DeWeaver today, according to Tyree Kinnel. Here's the tweet.

Even with a private jet, that must be exhausting.

Just like Gentry just said, as a top rated QB, you listen when Jim Harbaugh comes calling. I know Jimmy doesn't walk on water (actually he might), but how does a serious QB not take a Harbaugh offer over a Richt offer?
Yeah I know, Georgia is ESS EEE SEE blah blah blah. But cumong, for pure development of your skills and prepping for the NFL, which is what all these dudes want and collect first round coin, how can you not jump at the chance to learn from JMFH? Just give the guy Gentry's cell number to chat. Done.

What the does any of that have to do with the price of rice? We're grading coaches by the NFL playing careers now? Don't tell Nick Saban, Urban Meyer, Chip Kelly, Gus Malzahn, Bob Stoops, or Jimbo Fischer that.
According to your logic, you would rather have Ben Rothlisiberger as a coach since he has thrown for almost 10,000 more yards and twice as many TDs (in 10 years) in the NFL as Harbaugh did (in 14 years).
Richt is a great coach that has had consistent success at one of the top programs in the SEC. Michigan on the other hand has reached ten wins in a season only once all the time since Eason was old enough to wear cleats.
We're all excited about Harbaugh, but try to maintain a little perspective.

Mike Bobo was the man who did that. He's no longer there.

I was just browsing 247sports and saw that McLane Carter commited to a school today. Harbaugh was checking him out before Gentry came along. Anyway, he committed to...wait for it.....Incarnate Word! Yeah, I had to google it too.

They play Baylor in a few years - scheduled last summer. Baylor gonna Baylor.

But I have some questions about the 'dead period,' between December 15th and January 15th. Are there any exceptions to this rule?
I'm guessing there are exceptions if the potential recruit is related to a coach, but what if they are family friends? What is the recruit's family had a trajedy, could a coach reach out to them? With the NCAA regulatons, I don't know where they might possibly draw the line. I remember reading about how it was ok to give the recruit a bagel, but a violation to also offer them cream cheese to put on it. During the NFL lockout (not NCAA, duh), a coach was fined for calling one of his players to congratulate them for becoming a father (I believe the coach said that the fine was money well-spent).
