Michigan Staff Tells 5-Star Recruit - We Can Win With You Or Without You
This is a 247 Insider Article, so I won't reveal who the prospect is, but the coaching staff's message to him has been that we can win with him or without him.
This isn't really news, but I LOVE the confidence of this staff. I also love that I believe them. In a couple years, we are going to be a force to be reckoned with. The Game will be a clash of titans again, and we will no longer have to cling to 1997 while MSU and OSU dominate.
This particular kid may not come to Michigan, but there will be a number of studs who do, and who will be developed into Wolverine Warriors. Go Blue!

EDIT: It's Mecole Hardman. We are not expected to get him.

Of course you will.

You think the twitters account is too sacred to sell out or something?

They will dig up the dirt on you.
Just focus on getting us those USDA crop reports for the orange harvest.

Love to feel like the most important person in the world so if Harbaugh did say this I'm sure it was taken as more of a negative than a positive. But it's true. Come here or don't.

I am not a subscriber, but I really hope what they meant was, we are Michigan and we are a place that is going to keep winning and join us, rather than saying we will win with or without you. I don't know. The way it is phrased, it sounds like we don't care about recruits. Not the best way to make friends. I am sure that is not what our coaches said...

In a couple years, we are going to be a force to be reckoned with.Couple years? I expect us to give OSU a serious run for its money this season, and next year we should contend for the national title.

I'm sure with the 11 QBs that will be in spring ball we will find one.

I suspect Coach Harbaugh (or those on his staff who have been in contact with said recruit) are simply telling him that they are driving a maize & blue colored win-wagon and those who elect to get a seat are going to have some fun.

" I was recruited by the law school to attend."
" I smiled when Isaac Nauta was caught off-guard by his experience, because I know the feeling."

Humble brag, perhaps?

Don't forget my money!!!
Seriously though, was not the point AT ALL. They roll out the red carpet for every single law student. It's what they do everywhere. The point is what Michigan has to offer.

I'm not sure this is the best approach for a five star recruit. It's not like Alabama where we can point out all of our recent national championships, but like everything else with football, I will shut up and trust that Harbaugh knows what he's doing.
October 25th, 2015 at 2:59 PM ^
It doesn't sound like it's as blatant as the title. More of a: We're going to win a lot, climb on board if you want to be part of that.
October 25th, 2015 at 3:01 PM ^
And it seems as if the mutual interest came completely unexpected.
As I result, I would not worry about it being one of the guys that we have been recruiting heavily for a while.
EDIT: Not "if" but rather "of" the Kid.

"I suggest you find another team to support. We will be just fine without you."

Maybe they know if a kid responds to this, they are willing to compete, that that they realizes they are not above the team.

October 25th, 2015 at 3:29 PM ^
This post is kind of a mess. I have no idea if telling the kid that left a good or bad impression, only how it makes the OP feel deep down in his heart and loins, which he extrapolates to how dominant UM will be, which is pretty silly. Then there's some rabble about law school and who this recruit is not, and then some other rabble.
Good stufff.

Of course we're only getting one side of the story, and then it's just a teaser bit. The other side could well be that the recruit suggested to the Harbaugh team a reluctance to sign with them, instead leaning toward a "winning" program. To which team Harbaugh suggested they would win with or without the recruit not yet named.

That player wasn't a running back, it was QB Art Schlichter. Woody promised him if he came to OSU he would start immediately (which is what happened). When Schlichter (and his dad BTW) wanted the same guarantee from Bo, he was told he would have to earn it on the field.
October 25th, 2015 at 6:57 PM ^
Apparently being the last time Art Schlichter gambled and won.
