The Camp, The Camp, The Camp
Four articles linked at the bottom:
In my America, you're allowed to cross state borders," Harbaugh said. "That's the America I know.
Coach Jim Harbaugh is right! No doubt his primary intent was to teach high school athletes his brand of football. Coach Harbaugh for all his trouble and resources spent picked up a couple of two star recruits (of which has gotten this blog up in arms) and a dual threat QB out of California. The recruits came out a couple thousand students who were taught during these camps. I don't believe our prize recruit of the day, Ben Bredeson, even attended one of these camps. If my primary purpose was to gain two star recruits then I could figure out a way to do so using far fewer resources.
Those players may end up becoming huge contributers but as of right now their only guarentee is a scholarship. Coach Harbaugh may develop a continuous pipeline to these areas but that will only happen if he wins! In the mean time, I am glad the coach is willing to make the most of what would be down time to be a leader and spread around the love of football.
Go fourth and spread the Michigan gospel
Go Coach Harbaugh and Go Blue!

I included the other two and links to the recruits that came as a direct result of the camps.
This could probably be more of a bulletin point post to fire back at SEC trolls who want to toe the conference line that Harbaugh is doing this for recruiting purposes. The Coach gave a great opportunity to a conference opponent. Michigan has won some recruits but clearly the primary intent was to give kids good exposure to coaching.
I find it shocking how many people seemingly don't read the front page.
I guess some people have different priorities when they go on the blog.
