I've heard of coaches pursuing high school kids, but this story takes the cake. If you were his parents, would you want a grown man sleeping in your kid's room? At what point does this become stalking?
HARBAUGH FOLLOWS THROUGH ON RECRUITING SLEEPOVER
Jim Harbaugh has been known to go to extreme lengths in his pursuit for recruits. Camping in a prospect’s room, though, is taking it to a new level, even for Harbaugh.
When the clock struck midnight on Friday, Harbaugh reportedly showed up at the Rockford, Mich., home of Quinn Nordin. The Michigan coach planned to spend the whole day with the nation’s top-ranked kicker, who committed last summer to Penn State.
“He told me if I had a 6-foot-3 inch piece of carpet for him to sleep on that would be enough. I said, ‘We have guest rooms,’ and he said, ‘Tell you what, I’ll just sleep on the floor in your room,’” Nordin told Scout.com. “I said, ‘Coach, I have Penn State stuff all over my walls.’ He said, ‘Tell you what, I can help you take it down.’”
Nordin told the Detroit News that if his parents signed off on him missing school, he and Harbaugh would spend most of the day in Ann Arbor. If not?
“Coach Harbaugh will be in every single class with me, sitting right next to me and I’ll be doing my schoolwork,’” Nordin said.
