It's now time for the daily Jim Harbaugh recruiting update.

The unique tactics the Michigan coach has deployed to potential commits to the Wolverines have become the talk of the college football offseason.

First, it was a sleepover commencing one minute after the dead period ended. Then, he was seen climbing a tree to impress another potential signee.

The eccentric coach appears to be a fan of the slumber party technique, as he spent Tuesday night watching Netflix and crashing at the house of recruit Connor Murphy.

Interestingly enough this isn't the 52-year-old's first meeting with Murphy. The eldest brother, Trent, played at Stanford for the former Cardinal coach, and while on a recruiting visit, Harbaugh actually babysat Connor while his parents rushed to the hospital thinking his mother was in labor.

"Coach Harbaugh sat on my living room floor with me and we drank milk and played chess," Connor told Lindsey Thiry of the Los Angeles Times.
