Harbaugh draws cascade of stars to Michigan for signing day

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — College football's recruiting circus seems to have found its ringmaster: Jim Harbaugh.

The coach has turned Michigan's signing day into a "Signing With the Stars" spectacle.

When Harbaugh strolled onto the stage in a suit, instead of his signature khakis and tucked-in blue pullover, he was welcomed by maize-and-blue clad fans with a standing ovation.

"Who could possibly have it better than us?" Harbaugh asked a crowd packed into a three-tier auditorium.

"Nobody!" the fans shouted back in unison.

Tom Brady was the first in a superstar lineup to join Harbaugh on stage at the unique event Wednesday.
