On the National Signing Days of 2016 and 2017, Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh presided over an event he’d created — “Signing with the Stars.” It was part unveiling of the high school recruits who would play for the Wolverines — prospects such as Rashan Gary, Devin Bush and Donovan Peoples-Jones.

It’s been noticeable for years (particularly since Brett McMurphy was laid off in the massive April 2017 cuts) that ESPN-affiliated reporters have not been breaking most of the news in college football. As AA’s Ben Koo explored in early December 2021, that’s a sharp contrast to sports like the NFL and NBA where ESPN employs an insider they can credit on the Bottom Line ticker for most signings or moves (Adam Schefter and Adrian Wojnarowski, respectively). But that’s about to at… Source link
