For most college programs this week, recruiting will consist of traveling to various high schools in the country to check in on the prospects they covet most as spring evaluations continue.

Meanwhile, Jim Harbaugh and Michigan football continue to do things differently, using one of the evaluation weeks to take their annual team trip. After recent trips to Italy and France, this year's journey is to South Africa, where the team has traveled to Cape Town and Johannesburg among other places, with a beach dinner and safari among the highlights promoted by the program on social media.
