Fans, media members troll Michigan after Najee Harris decision
By Andrew Olson
Published:
Despite being committed to Alabama since April 18, 2015, Najee Harris’ recruitment was filled with drama right up until the last minute. There were rumors of a last-minute change of plans for Harris with rumors of a potential flip to Michigan heating up. Harris, however, landed in Birmingham Sunday afternoon, seemingly ending his recruitment and signaling he will enroll at Alabama.
That means Michigan fans, media and coach Jim Harbaugh are on the receiving end of a few zingers.
Najee Harris to Alabama. Hard to imagine getting a player like that without hosting 32 satellite camps.

Harbaugh of course held 32 satellite camps in an effort to promote Michigan in areas outside of the typical Big Ten recruiting footprint. Harris is from Antioch, Calif. Harbaugh and Nick Saban have clashed in the media over the camps.
Ah, and here come the 'we're just fine without Najee Harris' from Michigan fans.
Bless their hearts.
