Josh Gattis didn't recruit Giles Jackson to Michigan. He'll have to give that assist chiefly to Jay Harbaugh, who has made a few significant pulls for the Wolverines on the West Coast recently.

Either way, when the dust settled on Gattis' deal to become the team's new offensive coordinator back in January and he started sifting through tape on what he had to work with, there's a decent chance he wore out the rewind button when he landed on Jackson.
