Jim Harbaugh Attempts to Climb Tree While Visiting Recruit

Kyle NewportJan 19, 2016

When it comes to recruiting, there might not be anything Michigan Wolverines coach Jim Harbaugh won't do to get a player to commit to play in Ann Arbor. 

Harbaugh's most notable recruiting tactic so far is the sleepover, but he has plenty of other tricks up his sleeve.

During a recent recruiting trip to visit 4-star cornerback David Long, Harbaugh showed that he isn't afraid to have a little fun. How? The 52-year-old coach played some catch—and also attempted to climb a tree.

Per Ben Fidelman of 247Sports.com, Harbaugh wasn't just climbing a tree to climb a tree:

Unfortunately, according to Nick Bromberg of Yahoo Sports' Dr. Saturday, Harbaugh was not able to make it up the tree. But the fact that he was willing to do something like that should leave a good impression on Long.
