Jim Harbaugh recruiting visits continue to sound like a trip.

One potential Michigan recruit told Maize n Brew’s Brandon Justice that he wrestled with the head coach.

2017 DT Phillip Paea (MI) just told me that he and #Michigan HC Jim Harbaugh had a wrestling match during his visit Wednesday night.

More news: Phillip Paea told me Harbaugh won the amateur style wrestling match. Did you really think Harbaugh would let someone beat him?

How does this even come about? What starts it? Does Jim Harbaugh simply ask if you want to wrestle? The world demands answers here.

Harbaugh is a big wrestling fan. He had Ric Flair at Michigan’s signing day event in January. He’s also fond of having sleepovers with potential recruits. Now he wrestles with them, too. What more could you want?
