Credit where it's due: Jim Harbaugh rode a freight train of bizarre and borderline creepy antics all the way to a stellar 2016 class.
That class received a big ol' boost on National Signing Day when 2016's No. 1 overall prospect, New Jersey DT Rashan Gary, committed to Michigan in a ceremony broadcast on ESPNU.

Clemson made it close, with some experts even tilting the Tigers for an eleventh-hour swipe, but in the end the relationship Gary built with Michigan's staff proved insurmountable.
Michigan also picked up 2016's No. 1 kicker, Quinn Nordin (Harbaugh's first sleepover) and four-star CB Lavert Hill.
Only 297 days remain until The Game.
