Prom request re-creations and now handwritten notes to girlfriends? Michigan is sure looking like the 2015 masters of recruiting creativity.
The girlfriend of four-star recruit Naseir Upshur posted a handwritten note to Twitter with Michigan assistant Jay Harbaugh's name on it. Harbaugh, the nephew of Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh, is Michigan's new tight ends coach. Upshur is the No. 3 tight end in the country in the class of 2016 according to Rivals and the No. 2 prospect in the state of Pennsylvania.

In addition to being bold, should it be considered an acceptable recruiting practice? Mind you, we don't think Michigan is the first school to employ the tactic if the letter is legit, but it can certainly be seen as occupying a bit of a recruiting gray area.
