‘M’ introduces 2016 class
Star-studded
bunch helps unveil
recruits on National
Signing Day
By JAKE LOURIM
Managing Sports Editor
Michigan football coach Jim
Harbaugh said he just wanted
to do something different to
introduce his 2016 recruiting
class this year.
Of
all
terms
to
describe
Wednesday’s “Signing of the Stars”
ceremony at Hill Auditorium, it
was certainly different.
In his return to college
football last year, Harbaugh
was at Michigan for just over a
month before he introduced the
2015 class, recruited largely by
former coach Brady Hoke.
This year, with more time
to prepare, he had something
bigger in mind.
“How can we do something
fun
and
a
celebration?”
Harbaugh
wondered.
“I’ve
been watching this process,
experienced it myself, how they
pull a fax out of the fax machine
and the coach stands up and talks
about them, usually says some
of the same things. We wanted
to do something different, do
something awesome. I was really
pleased. I think today did that. It
was awesome with a capital ‘A.’ ”
No one knew what to expect
going
into
the
celebration
Wednesday.
Harbaugh
made
his first appearance around
11:40 a.m., introduced by host
Randy Sklar, after the Michigan
Stadium
introduction
video
featuring James Earl Jones
played on the big screen.
He opened and closed his
opening remarks by asking the
crowd, “Who could possibly
have it better than us?” Then,
he and Sklar sat on a couch at
one end of the stage in front of
a packed auditorium. At the
other end, football analysts
Mike Shanahan, Todd McShay
and Lou Holtz sat at a desk and
broke down Michigan’s class
as
different
celebrities
and
Michigan alumni.
New
England
Patriots
quarterback Tom Brady — a
Michigan alumnus — introduced
the
first
recruit,
four-star
quarterback Brandon Peters.
“I don’t know how to put
it into words,” Peters said
afterward. “Tom Brady is one of
the greatest players to ever play.
I’m a quarterback, too, and he’s a
quarterback. You just look up to
someone like that.
“I was kind of nervous at first,
walking up on that stage and
seeing all those people. I had a
bunch of adrenaline, but once I
got settled in
and
started
seeing things,
I settled down
a little bit.”
More
celebrities
made
appearances
throughout
the ceremony.
Former
New York Yankees shortstop
Derek Jeter introduced four-
star
running
back
Kareem
Walker,
four-star
defensive
end Ron Johnson and three-
star defensive tackle Michael
Dwumfour. Baltimore Ravens
coach John Harbaugh, Jim’s
brother, introduced three-star
tight end Nick Eubanks.
As they were introduced,
six of the seven early enrollees
joined Harbaugh and Sklar on
the stage (the only exception
was three-star tight end Sean
McKeon).
Several
former
football
players
also
made
appearances, including former
quarterbacks
Jake
Rudock,
Denard Robinson and Devin
Gardner, former walk-ons Joe
Kerridge and Jordan Kovacs and
former linebacker Jake Ryan.
The event was packed all-
around with famous faces, even
those with no ties to Michigan
or sports. Many more sent in
comments
on
video:
ESPN
broadcaster
Dick
Vitale,
former
NFL
coach
Mike
Ditka, former
Michigan
basketball
player
Jalen
Rose
and
actor
Vince
Vaughn,
among
countless others.
Perhaps the most enthusiastic
guest was former professional
wrestler Ric Flair. Harbaugh
said
afterward
that
Nate
Johnson gave him the idea to
invite Flair during a recruiting
visit at Johnson’s home in
Tennessee.
“I was telling him about what
this event was going to be like,
talking about some of the people
that were going to be here,”
Harbaugh said. “I said, Tom
Brady! Tom Brady’s going to be
here, the greatest quarterback
of all time, four Super Bowl
trophies. They said, ‘We’re a
wrestling family. You’re going to
have Ric Flair there. It doesn’t
get any better than that.’ ”
Toward
the
end
of
the
two-hour
ceremony,
interim
Athletic Director Jim Hackett
introduced
the
final
early
enrollee,
four-star
defensive
end Carlo Kemp. As Kemp spoke
with Sklar and Harbaugh on the
stage, Rashan Gary, the nation’s
No. 1 recruit, was in New Jersey
committing to come to Michigan
next season. The audience found
out and let out a loud cheer,
and the early enrollees subtly
expressed their excitement.
The two-hour show stood
out. Most schools announce
their recruits by compiling
a list of players who send in
National Letters of Intent and
holding a press conference to
discuss them. Michigan took
over
the
conversation,
for
better or for worse.
“I
think
people
will
do
something similar or they’ll
criticize it,” Harbaugh said.
“What do I think of that? I
probably won’t think much
of it. It worked for us. It was
wonderful for us. And why not?
We’ll be back to work at 2:30, but
why not have some fun?”
ALLISON FARRAND/Daily
Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh introduced his 2016 recruiting class at an extravagant ceremony Wednesday.
“We’ll be back
to work at 2:30,
but why not
have some fun?”
Harbaugh turns
fantasy to reality
on Signing Day
I
t started with his usual
rallying call.
Host Randy Sklar
introduced
the man of
the hour,
the day, the
week and the
year, and out
came Jim
Harbaugh,
ready to put
on a show.
“Who
could
possibly have
it better than us?” Harbaugh
asked the crowd, firing them up
while also reminding them that
on Wednesday especially, the
answer was nobody.
Harbaugh put on a spectacle
to be remembered at Hill
Auditorium, as his National
Signing Day special event
“Signing of the Stars” repeatedly
crossed back and forth from
being completely surreal to
being too Harbaugh-esque to
not be true.
Ric Flair
was there,
reminiscing
about a
weekend
spent at the
Beta house
while on a
recruiting trip
to Michigan,
where he
apparently
signed a National Letter of
Intent to play for Bump Elliott.
Former Michigan quarterback
Jack Kennedy rapped to open
for country singer Josh Gracin,
who opened for Sklar. Tom
Brady and Derek Jeter sat on
a couch and introduced high
schoolers, and then Todd
McShay, Mike Shanahan and
Lou Holtz analyzed their film
on a studio set. Jim Leyland
dabbed. Let me say that again,
just so it doesn’t get lost — Jim
Leyland dabbed.
This was Jim Harbaugh’s
vision, overset onto the reality
the rest of us inhabit. With the
auditorium filled to capacity,
Harbaugh created a weird,
fascinating and fun signing
day carnival that had a little
something for everyone.
Brandon Peters, Harbaugh’s
potential quarterback of the
future, was elated to meet Tom
Brady. Kareem Walker, one of
the nation’s top running back
recruits, was most starstruck
by Migos. Sklar was taken with
Flair, Brady and Jeter, but also
by meeting one of the early
enrollees, linebacker Carlo
Kemp.
The fans got their dose of
Harbaugh, which will sustain
them only until his next idea
gives them an opportunity they
literally cannot get anywhere
else. The team is going to Florida
for spring practice in less than a
month, and you can bet there are
more big ideas on the horizon.
“This is a perfect example
of how Jim Harbaugh’s mind
operates,” Desmond Howard said
after the conclusion of the event.
And it was a perfect example.
But it was only a slice of his
imagination. Signing of the
Stars brought so many aspects
of Harbaugh’s first year into
one big event, including a peek
inside Harbaugh’s mind, which
is at once a total mystery and
squarely in the spotlight.
Wednesday, he took a vision,
propped it up into 3-D, and made
it come alive.
Even as silly as it was at
times, Wednesday was a
spectacle. Michigan’s early
enrollees mingled with Super
Bowl MVPs, MLB All-Stars,
NFL coaches and analysts and
more backstage.
Ric Flair charmed and
disarmed the crowd, and every
player had a cardboard cutout
of himself in the lobby. In fact,
with less than 30 minutes
remaining in the ceremony,
the nation’s No. 1 recruit,
Rashan Gary
committed
to the
Wolverines.
By the time
the ceremony
ended,
there was a
cardboard
cutout of Gary
in a Michigan
uniform
standing in
the lobby.
These things are uniquely of
Harbaugh’s conception because,
if anyone else had the idea, they
would dismiss it as a fantasy.
Harbaugh embraces his ideas
and turns them into reality.
One recruit Skyped in to talk
about Harbaugh’s sleepover at
his house. Harbaugh threw a
pass into the stands and shot
jokes across the stage with
Lou Holtz. His brother, John
Harbaugh, was there, shaking
hands with Jim’s new players
and telling a story about how,
when Jim sent him a picture
of new tight end signee Nick
Eubanks, John told him to send
Eubanks straight to the Ravens.
And for the love of God, Jim
Leyland dabbed.
While all of this was
happening, Gary was going
through the final moments of
his selection process. Gary, of
course, committed to Michigan,
leading the fans to chant, “GA-
RY, GA-RY,” even though the
coach couldn’t publicly comment
on him yet.
Gary missed the spectacle,
but by signing up with
Michigan, he won’t miss the
next one. No one’s really sure
what that will be, but with
Harbaugh at the helm, it’s sure
to be weird, it’s sure to be wild,
and it will probably be a roaring
success.
