Jim Harbaugh thought a 2015 call from Michael Jordan was a recruit
We've heard the story about Jim Harbaugh picking up his cell phone in 2015 to find Michael Jordan on the other end.
As the Michigan football coach told it at the time, his phone cut out and he had to get clarification as to it was. Now, more than three years later, Harbaugh is telling the whole story.
He thought it was a football recruit.
"There was another player we were recruiting at the time named Michael Jordan, who was an offensive lineman," Harbaugh said Tuesday on "The Dan Patrick Show." "He plays for Ohio State now. But yes, at the time we were recruiting Michael Jordan and there was of course Michael Jordan.
"I was like, 'Which Michael Jordan is this?'"
