College coaches across the country are trying to find an edge when it comes to recruiting high school players.
One advantage coaches have is the ability to show what they are all about, all season long via social media.
Michigan's new man Jim Harbaugh has a Twitter account that has already reached over 193,000 followers.
According to ESPN's Darren Rovell, he is the second most followed college football coach on Twitter only behind Ohio State's Urban Meyer.
