Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh just sat front row at WWE's Monday Night Raw this past week and hung with one of professional wrestling's all-time greats, Ric Flair at the "Signing of the Stars" earlier this month.

It appears going to a professional wrestling event has made Harbaugh want to show his wrestling moves to recruits.

Phillip Paea is a 6'4", 285 pound defensive tackle from Berrien Spring, Mich. According to 247sports.com, the three star recruit is leaning towards Oregon but Michigan is also in the mix.

Whether Harbaugh is climbing trees, having a Netflix session, or even having a sleep over, he will do what it takes to get a recruit to commit to Michigan.

I don't have a problem with Harbaugh's recruiting tactics. If wrestling a high school senior is what it takes, then every coach in the country should do the same deal.

Michigan and Harbaugh will be taking their show on the road this upcoming weekend as they will travel to Bradenton, Fla., for spring practice.
