It’s easy to pit Jim Harbaugh against Urban Meyer with the Michigan and Ohio State rivalry, but when it comes to recruiting, they’re more alike than many would think.
ESPN.com polled 75 ESPN 300 prospects in the 2017 class and asked who each recruit thought were the two best recruiting head coaches in college football. Harbaugh garnered the most votes of any coach, mentioned 30 times, while Meyer came in third with 19 votes, one behind Alabama’s Nick Saban with 20.
