Wednesday Michigan Recruiting Roundup: Harbaugh to Visit No. 1 2017 Recruit

Michigan Still Contender for Top 2017 Recruit; Harbaugh to Visit

Jim Harbaugh's bye week is sure to be a productive one. According to Brandon Brown of Rivals ($), the Michigan head coach will fly out to California to pay a visit to the number one overall recruit in the 2017 class, running back Najee Harris.

The five-star recruit has been committed to Alabama since April of 2015, but per Steve Lorenz of Wolverine247 (FREE), his mind is not completely made up. Harris last visited Michigan for the BBQ at the Big House over the summer, and he is expected to return again this season. He stated that he will use his visits to help him make his decision. Brown stated in his article that the thought is Harris will land at either Michigan, Alabama, or USC.
