Nycholes Harbor article from South Carolina recruiting website
There’s some cool insight in here about what position he wants to play in college and what school his mom wants him to go to

I took that as "my Mom wants me to go to Michigan, hopefully I can talk her into the school that I want."
Anyone else?

We have a terrible track record with recruits where mom wants them here and they want to be here less so…
December 30th, 2022 at 7:42 AM ^
And he likes track, so having a bad track record can’t be good
December 29th, 2022 at 11:19 PM ^
Yeah that certainly doesn’t sound too promising. Anywhere but Michigan would be the pick but for mom with that quote.
The kid’s obviously an all world talent athletically speaking, but part of that culture thing going on here right now is likely due to having guys who truly want to be here. Not to say that can’t happen once a player is officially in the program and he grows to buy in, but it’s not the best start. But let’s hope it goes that route.

Eh. Kind of over this kid. Not real sure how devoted he is to the sport. The focus on track makes me wonder if he will ever have the focus needed to be great in football.
December 30th, 2022 at 12:16 AM ^
I get that he likes track but he is likely hindering an opportunity at hundreds of million dollars coming his way if he reached his potential as an edge rusher in college and NFL.
December 30th, 2022 at 12:56 AM ^
Agreed. The high point in track is the Olympics and then medaling there which brings a lot of dough in endorsements but is never a foregone conclusion. He should major in football with a minor in track if his goal is to optimize his earnings potential. And a focus on football should put him at Michigan, not Oregon.

I think Michigan is staying on him because he is a freak athlete and you take that guy if you can get him, but I don’t think they are pinning their hopes of the class on him. If a guy with those measurables shows interest you see it through to the final bell.

I read that article as a positive for Michigan. That he's not going anywhere other than Michigan unless someone can flip his mom.
December 30th, 2022 at 12:06 AM ^
Haven't I heard that he also want to be a doctor? All I ever hear him talk about is track. I agree that it sounds like he is looking to change his mom's mind. That always reminds me of Chris Spielman deciding that he wanted to go to play for Bo at Michigan and his father telling that he was going to Ohio State. Parenting was a little different back in the day.

I hope we get Harbor just because he's the most ridiculous athlete ive ever heard of (though hard to compare to old timers like Bo Jackson) but I don't think it's likely he's any good as a football player unless he gives up on track which he almost certainly won't do. So not too worried about him.

Sounds like he doesn't want to come to Michigan; but he wants to make his mom happy.
1. That's not going to work, not when Jim Harbaugh is your coach.
2. I'm still trying to figure out if he loves football...which is also a problem if you don't and Jim Harbaugh is your coach.
3. The mom thing is nice...but these things tend to drag to the last day to keep mom happy and then you finally have "the talk" where you're a man and its time for you to make your own decision, etc. - then you go elsewhere.

He definitely talks of going to Michigan like a trip to the dentist.
Mom wants me to go but would jump to first team that convinces her that sugary sweet drinks are the answer instead.
December 30th, 2022 at 9:28 AM ^
So, do we have a general idea of what position he would play if he were to come to MI?
I am assuming TE?
December 30th, 2022 at 10:03 AM ^
If he comes here, great, welcome. The fact that he wants to play TE instead of DE makes me just shrug and move on if he doesn't come. We have Loveland and the IU transfer and we have 2 in this class already including a 4*. Then another 4* next year and chasing another 4* local kid in Brady Prieskorn. If he wanted to play DE I'd be a little more invested in his decision.
December 30th, 2022 at 12:16 PM ^
Didn't Aubrey Solomon's mom like Michigan? Man, did that signing end up being a dud or what?
December 30th, 2022 at 10:25 PM ^
Wouldn’t get your hopes up. Not saying he won’t come, but he is a kid that wants to do it all and in todays day age - the Bo Jacksons are truely the expections and I doubt we see again in our lifetimes.
