While on a recruiting trip to California, Michigan football prospect David Long posted a photo of Coach Jim Harbaugh climbing a tree, khaki pants and all.

So why did he do it? It turns out Jim's not crazy, after all.

Jim Harbaugh is apparently willing to go the extra mile to land star athletes to his burgeoning program. Last week, he slept over at a recruit's home, and this weekend, he went up into a tree to impress a five star cornerback, David Long.


It turns out, the explanation was pretty mundane. While playing catch with the recruit and some of his coaches in the backyard, the ball got caught in the tree, and King Khaki decided he was the best man at getting it down.
