Obligatory 2017 recruiting thread
What? You thought it was over?
That we could relax?
Take a rest?
Let your guard down?
You were wrong.
THE JACKHAMMER is already out working on reeling in the big fish in our backyard pond for 2017-
Just got off the phone with Coach Harbaugh !! A great guy ...

Michigan went crazy on signing day

Michigan Football never stops.
HARBAUGH never stops.

I'll ponder this late 2016. Too exhausted...thank god our coach isn't human, doesn't get tired, observe sick days, holidays or other distractions and is a jackhammer.
February 3rd, 2016 at 10:51 PM ^
Well, I only do that when I'm hungover.

Someone must have Harbaugh being spied on at all times because this is DPJ's next tweet...
Just got off of the phone with Coach Meyer from Ohio State ! It means a lot...

or they were spying DPJ's twitter feed and that slimey bastard called right away...
February 3rd, 2016 at 11:00 PM ^
Urbz is quick regardless of his methods... DPJ's Harbaugh tweet was at 12:49PM... the Meyer one was at 1:02PM
Geeze.

^^That's what she said (and by she I mean UF coeds)

Harbaugh is making everyone take notice. Even better: Harbaugh loves to compete with people like Meyer over recruits, even if Meyer does have the advantage of having generous boosters.
February 4th, 2016 at 9:59 AM ^
Would be great if there were a way to get through to the staff (who probably already know what's going on), a friend, or a high school teammate of a highly sought after recruit like DPJ to alert the recruit to what might be happening here.
If this is really going on it's pretty creepy. Would be fun to see if DPJ or another recruit falsely tweeted that Harbaugh called him just to see if Meyer calls later the same day or the next day. Hard for me to put myself in the shoes of one of these recruits, but if I saw that was what was going on, it would make me pretty uncomfortable with Meyer.
Perhaps someone on Meyer's staff is even reading this post.

Either osu has a spy or every coach (not just Harbaugh) is always working. The good news is osu had an invite only junior day last weekend and DPJ did not attend. He may have had a scheduling conflict or something but since I don't know I will assume he just doesn't like the smell of Columbus and elected not to go.

Be interesting to see if nabbing Hill helps us recruit King HS a bit better
February 3rd, 2016 at 11:07 PM ^
Singleton and Bolds are 2 4 star kids out of Paramus. Then you got Ruiz who's from NJ but goes to IMG, which just so happens to be Michigan's spring break practice location.
Oh snap!
On top of that the #1 NJ croot, Clark, has PSU as his #1. Odds Harbaugh can pry him away from Franklin? He's an OT as well.
February 3rd, 2016 at 11:32 PM ^
Ruiz is a former teammate of Johnson and Hawkins at Camden. Definitely have an advantage.
February 3rd, 2016 at 11:12 PM ^
Standford Samuels will be a priority too, Gil, Metellus, and Bush's teammate, top 5 corner
February 3rd, 2016 at 11:20 PM ^
February 4th, 2016 at 1:54 AM ^
Doubt we get Thomas. Think we have a decent chance right now with the rest, though it's early.
February 3rd, 2016 at 10:51 PM ^
I know its not Harbaugh's style, but I'd offer 1 2017 WR...DPJ.

Coach Jim and Lane Kiffin both showed up at Antioch CA High visiting Najee Harris on January 19th. Harris is a 2017 RB.

Dylan McCaffrey, Colorado QB and brother of Christian, will be a major priority and some scuttlebutt has him dropping early for the maize and blue.
February 3rd, 2016 at 10:59 PM ^
February 3rd, 2016 at 11:14 PM ^
February 3rd, 2016 at 11:00 PM ^
Jim will take the team to Championship game soon and for a long time!

I'd take one less CB, maybe one less LB, and add another DT and S. I think OT, S and DT are the biggest needs in this class.
February 4th, 2016 at 2:04 AM ^
February 4th, 2016 at 8:49 AM ^
Is he supposed to be in this class too? Or was he 2016? Or what happened there?

Runyan was a 2015 recruit. He'll be a redshirt freshman this fall.
February 4th, 2016 at 9:52 AM ^
Jon Runyan JR was part of the 2015 class and redshirted this past year.
February 4th, 2016 at 8:59 AM ^
But with only six OLineman in the last two years (and talk of Onwenu moving to defense) I think you have to land no less then 5 in 2017, and I would like to see 6.
