Michigan’s Jim Harbaugh barely blunders when it comes to the recruiting game.

However, it’s pretty safe to say he could’ve tried a different approach when he tried to sway 3-star quarterback and current Florida signee Jake Allen.

During a Q&A session with SEC Country’s Zach Abolverdi, Allen talked with Abolverdi about his recruiting process, and how he dealt with rumors amongst other things.

The weirdest thing Allen said he dealt with, was when he attended a Michigan camp. Allen and some other quarterback prospects had been discussing grades when Harbaugh overhead their conversation and decided to chime in:

“I was messing around and said, ‘I got a C in third grade.’ Jim Harbaugh overheard and screams, ‘I don’t give a s–t about your grades,'” Allen told Abolverdi. “Then he realized I was part of the quarterback group that had recruits in it so he just kind of walked away. It was weird. I couldn’t wait to get out of there after that, and we left early.

“College football needs Stanford. We’re looking not for student athletes but scholar-athletes. No other school can carry this banner. The Ivy League schools don’t have enough weight [because of their low athletic level]. Other schools which have good academic reputations have ways to get borderline athletes in and keep them in.”

“Michigan is a good school and I got a good education there,” he said, “but the athletic department has ways to get borderline guys in and, when they’re in, they steer them to courses in sports communications. They’re adulated when they’re playing, but when they get out, the people who adulated them won’t hire them.”

The lawn maintenance crew is probably not too excited about the cops efforts.

I would love to just hear a "WTF, Richard" placed into the video as soon as the cop hits the pole.

Or perhaps a "Way to go, Paul."

Maybe a "Nice, Ron."

Anyone have info on his trial? He's suspended until the trial is completed.

Suspended Michigan WR Grant Perry due in court April 13

This one has not reached that phase:
Ex-Michigan WR/guard Kelvin Grady held in Grand Rapids drug conspiracy

Graduated from Michigan with a General Studies degree. Weren't we recruiting him? From Grand Rapids. Isn't his name Kevin?

Trial date set:
Jourdan Lewis set for trial July 10 over alleged domestic violence (Michgian CB, entered draft, graduated with degree in Sociology)

This player was dismissed by Michigan in September, 2015 prior to charges officially filed:
Former U-M football player charged with illegally videotaping sex (Logan Tuley-Tillman)

Has Shelton Johnson's suspension been lifted? Still with the team, right?

In Michigan State football news:
Fourth Michigan State football player investigated in separate case

I'm imagining a michigan football board with posts dedicated to summarizing ex-ND athlete's legal issues, and the adjective that comes to mind is obsessed...

The difference is that Harbaugh can commit murder and everything is just peachy so long as the messiah brings it home.

What's that old adage? "Michigan's best, most legendary coach never even won a Rose Bowl"

I hope the much-revered Harbaugh churns out 10-win seasons without a Rose Bowl or playoff birth regularly. Would be truly Schembechler-esque

Bo went 2-8 in the Rose bowl. Never won a national championship though.

All their best coaches came from Ohio, which is so much irony.

Ahhh that's what it was. A pitiful Rose Bowl record and no national championships.

One National Championship ('97) in the past sixty-eight years does not lessen my respect for their students who achieve a degree worthy of their work and commitment. Still, the football drought as far as NCs continues.

Their previous NC was in 1948.

Oh absolutely, I'm not disparaging those that earn legit degrees from scUM.

I'm disparaging their idol worship of Bo Schembechler.
