#HarbaughEffect: #1 Player in California to visit 3/13
5* LB Caleb Kelly to take an unofficial visit March 13th. He is 100% crystal ball'd to Oklahoma, but they have a serious lack of Harbaugh. Like they don't even have one Harbaugh.

This per Steve Lorenz twitter per Steve Wiltfong twitter, the latter of which also says California 4* QB KJ Costello may visit Michigan this week. Very high on USC, Stanford, and Michigan. An ominous "decision could come at any time" is included. Though he's visited Ann Arbor before, so he could in fact be leaning to Michigan. Perhaps visit Michigan + decision at any time means good things?

Nobody wants to to somewhere that reminds them of Fresno.
In fact, back in the 1830's the tribes of Native Americans that lived in the Southeast (Georgia & Alabama) were thrown off of their lands, and marched to Oklahoma to live, they called it, The Trail of Tears, and having spent ten months there, I can understand why.

Various reasons......too far, family can't watch them, too cold, not enough hot girls, friends still in California, ect.
The base still has to come from the Midwest, with bits and pieces warm weather states.
Namely, we have Harbaughs. We can blanket this country plus at least two more.

Even in our best years I don't see use getting more than 3 guys from Cali jut because of the staunch differences previously listed. Michigan used to be able to do this more in the 90's, but those days are gone. The economy, weather and overall lack of appeal to someone from the west coast today makes it a much more difficult sell.
We can be successful with that mentality. Win the Midwest and pick from the rest.

is where Harbaugh graduated HS and of course he also was a high profile football coach for the 49ers so it's really not all that surprising that he will attract kids from California to Michigan now. If M starts churning out pro prospect QBs you will see them line up to play for the maize and blue.
I hope we can get a couple of these guys out of Cali because I'm sure hearing a lot about them
Well I just wrote a great and long piece about how we'll be able to recruit in Cali and nationally. When I went to post it there was a website error and it's all erased so you'll just have to take my word for it until I get the inclination to rewrite it all, but we'll kick some ass out there if we focus on it as it seems we want to. We're gonna land some California gold and it's gonna look like maize to me!
