Here's how Jim Harbaugh recruits: He takes every commitment he can get, and then whittles down his class as National Signing Day approaches. It's a method he perfected at Stanford, where he could play the academics card, and it's a method he's using at Michigan right now.

Ugly business doesnt have to be done in such an ugly way, thats all Im going to say.
