His TE NFL draft rate must be near 75%
November 6th, 2015 at 6:32 PM ^
Nauta lot more needs to be said.
November 6th, 2015 at 3:22 PM ^
Should be sent to every recruit. Even the ones that we will never offer, so that they know damn well what they're missing.
November 6th, 2015 at 4:14 PM ^
"Hey you one star, how's this make you feel?!"
November 6th, 2015 at 5:34 PM ^
Yeah. The idea of sending a poster like this to recruits "we would never offer" kind of reminds me of when Urban Meyer said he was going to have a talk with other Big Ten coaches about their crappy recruiting.
November 6th, 2015 at 4:57 PM ^
Gee, doubt anyone in recruiting coordination thought of that.
You're an idea man, aren't you...

Smart ass hat award. congrats
November 6th, 2015 at 10:38 PM ^
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who made this award possible, but especially Michigan Made for taking the time to recognize my contribution to the board on this night. Thank you, Michigan Made - you are an inspiration to us all and you make me want to be a better poster.

Michigan sent me one.
I was bummed.
November 6th, 2015 at 3:09 PM ^
This.. This is beautiful.
November 6th, 2015 at 3:11 PM ^
Thats awesome!
Wondering now what is Saban's, Meyer's?
November 6th, 2015 at 3:33 PM ^
When you count all the scholarships that they offer, then cut the kid when he isn't working out, their success rate can't be anywhere near 50%. If I had to guess it would be closer to 25%.
I'm assuming that this is players in his recruiting classes and not including players he inherited. My guess is there is a little bit of fudging of the numbers here... but still impressive anyways.
November 6th, 2015 at 3:40 PM ^
It's obviously not offers. Most teams give out at least a hundred of those anually to sign their class.
I think it's the scholarship players he signed. Pretty incredible, especially given that half of his recruiting was to Stanford before the resurrection was complete. I wonder what the numbers would be like for coaches at other major programs.
November 6th, 2015 at 3:14 PM ^
Richard Sherman in front as he should be. Come at me haters.
Joking aside, that is a super impressive graphic.
November 6th, 2015 at 3:57 PM ^
I'm not sure how Sherman would feel about being front and center on this graphic either. He doesn't have the best relationship with Harbaugh. Sherman and Doug Baldwin both blame Harbaugh for their low draft status and what he said or didn't say to NFL scouts about them.
Regardless, Harbaugh definitely knows how to develop talent as we've seen with this year's team. As a Michigan fan, I'm happy he's our coach and as a Seahawks fan, I'm happy Richard Sherman fell to the 5th round.
November 6th, 2015 at 4:00 PM ^
One could say that the biggest endorsement for Harbaugh is the fact that Pete Carroll (his biggest nemesis in college and the NFL) took these former harbaugh players. He must know that Harbaugh coaches em up good.
November 6th, 2015 at 4:27 PM ^
He took them over his own players.
November 6th, 2015 at 4:05 PM ^
While it's true Sherman did say that, he also says a lot of stupid things.
November 6th, 2015 at 4:09 PM ^
Regardless, do you think Sherman would be where he is without Harbaugh?

I don't know. Like all success stories, it's part talent and part coaching, but I didn't follow Sherman in college enough to have much of an opinion.
I think Jim Harbaugh is an incredible coach who knows how to recruit and develop talent and we are lucky to have him. I was just pointing out that Sherman may not have been the best candidate to put front and center as it's been well documented (at least in Seattle) that they didn't have a great relationship. Not all players and coaches get along and that's fine.
November 6th, 2015 at 6:18 PM ^
at Stanford. Sherman was a WR. If harbaugh didn't see his potention at CB Sherman would probably not of been drafted
November 6th, 2015 at 4:13 PM ^
Richard Sherman ran something like a 4.6 40, he is lucky he was even drafted.
November 7th, 2015 at 8:49 AM ^
Yeah. That guy can barely play.
November 6th, 2015 at 7:14 PM ^
I don't know much about Sherman's background, but I thought he wasn't a real big recruit and Harbaugh more or less discovered him. Hard to hate on the guy who gave you your first big break.
November 6th, 2015 at 9:01 PM ^
Was also a 2*...
November 6th, 2015 at 3:59 PM ^
he's right where he should be.
November 6th, 2015 at 3:59 PM ^
he's right where he should be.
November 6th, 2015 at 4:39 PM ^
Sherman is somewhat overrated. When Chancellor or Thomas are out his mistakes don't get cleaned up as much.
November 6th, 2015 at 3:13 PM ^
Even more impressive when you consider average star rating of those players.
November 6th, 2015 at 3:15 PM ^
I looked up University of San Diego football. It has been around since 1956.
In 59 years, it has produced 6 NFL players. Jim coached 4 of those guys in his three years there.
November 6th, 2015 at 4:21 PM ^
rate for coaches at University of San Deigo. (3,933% to be be more precise.)
Who's got it better than us?
November 7th, 2015 at 8:23 AM ^
NOBODY! :D
November 6th, 2015 at 3:15 PM ^
Double post.
November 6th, 2015 at 3:17 PM ^
I can't imagine a hit rate that high with other coaches.
November 6th, 2015 at 3:17 PM ^
Boy truer words have never been spoken. See Michigan football circa 2008-2014.
November 6th, 2015 at 3:29 PM ^
I knew Harbaugh had to be connected somehow!!!
They just need some "Baughers"
November 6th, 2015 at 3:28 PM ^
Twitter is blocked for several people.
November 6th, 2015 at 3:29 PM ^
Holy shit. That's hard to fathom.
November 6th, 2015 at 3:29 PM ^
HAPPY TREE PAINT BOB ROSS

Usesd a very similar campaign that resonated with recruits.
November 6th, 2015 at 3:37 PM ^
Got all their eyes pointed in different directions so they kind of "fan out" like they're busting out of the poster. Pretty meticulous.
I would love to see a comparison of that same time period with other schools. My guess is that only Alabama and possibly Ohio State were close. Miami, Texas and USC may have had similar ratios in previous years.
November 6th, 2015 at 3:44 PM ^
The graphic is very well put together and quite eye catching.
November 6th, 2015 at 3:37 PM ^
LOL. I read the twitter feed. Matthew house is a moron.
November 6th, 2015 at 3:42 PM ^
Twitter comments are the worst, and people in general are not smart.
November 6th, 2015 at 4:14 PM ^
The first revelation of the internet is showing how dumb the average human being is.
November 6th, 2015 at 4:31 PM ^
I wouldn't call Twitter commenters "average human beings"
