Since being hired as the head football coach at the University of Michigan, Jim Harbaugh has made it perfectly clear that he is willing to do whatever it takes to make the Wolverines program the best it can be.
This, of course, includes on the recruiting trail where Harbaugh has climbed trees, spoke at homecoming games, and has even slept over a recruits home (It worked) in order to sell the Michigan program.
Well, with National Signing Day less than a month away, Harbaugh is up to his old recruiting tricks again as he brought his daughter Addison along with him to help recruit the Wolverines biggest target, DT Aubrey Solomon.

Solomon, who is the No. 2 DT in the class of 2017 according to 247sports.com, is a 6-foot-3, 288 lb beast of a man who is about to make one college and their fan base extremely happy.
During the visit, Harbaugh and his daughter, along with his defensive coordinator Don Brown and linebackers/special teams coach Chris Partridge, spent the day bowling, racing cars and just hanging out with the Solomon family. Apparently, the idea to bring Addison along went over very well as Solomon's mother Sabrina called the visit, “the best visit ever.”

On January 4th, Solomon called Alabama the “favorite” to land him, but since then, Michigan has been making a push that could very well convince the talented defensive tackle to change his mind.
