Jim Harbaugh will be flying to Minnesota for a second interview with the Minnesota Vikings on National Signing Day and the smoke surrounding Harbaugh’s potential jump back to the NFL is as strong as it has ever been.

In this week’s edition of the Wolverine TV, The Wolverine’s EJ Holland, Tim Verghese and Clayton Sayfie break down what Jim Harbaugh leaving Michigan would mean for recruiting. The three discuss what the fallout could be, touch on key staffers to retain, lost momentum form the 2021 Big Ten Championship winning season and more.

Next, Holland, Verghese and Sayfie discuss the pros and cons of the NCAA-mandated month-long recruiting dead period which is now in effect, and how Michigan can capitalize on the other side of the dead period, with or without Harbaugh.

Finally, the three preview what is expected to be an extremely quiet National Signing Day. Michigan is not expected to sign any new additions to the class on Wednesday. Holland previews what’s left in the 2022 signing class, where Michigan commit Kevonte Henry winds up and offers closing thoughts on the Harbaugh situation and how it impacts 2022 signees and early enrollees.
