National Signing Day 2017: Jim Harbaugh, Michigan post No. 5 class in nation


2017 National Signing Day Live Show

With Jim Harbaugh at the helm, every day is an adventure in Ann arbor. but on national signing Day, the excitement and intrigue turns up a notch.

Michigan"s head coach once again proved his ability as a recruiter, securing two five-star commits and a ridiculous 19 four-star players.

The Wolverines picked up some notable last-minute additions to an already strong recruiting class, landing five-star defensive lineman Aubrey Solomon and also received a commitment from the No. 1 rated punter in the country Brad Robbins, although he was not listed on Michigan"s official roster of signees as of 7 p.m. Wednesday.

The biggest pickup in the class was five-star wide receiver Donovan People-Jones, who will try to add some explosiveness to an offense that lost Amara Darboh and Jabril Peppers, among others. Michigan also added quarterback Dylan McCaffrey, the brother of former Stanford running back and Heisman runner-up Christian McCaffrey, although he might be waiting in the wings for a season or two with the return of Wilton Speight.

Totalling 29 recruits, Michigan procured both its highest recruiting 247 Sports point total of any Wolverine class in the modern recruiting service era, as well as its highest-ever average rating on 247 of .9155.

With Harbaugh"s tenacity on the recruiting trail seemingly unwaning, those are both marks well within reach of matching in future classes.
