commitment profile cess to make their commitments. Despite the acceleration of the national timeline when it comes to recruiting, five-star prospects rarely pledge before their junior seasons. In fact, even among the rising senior class, only seven of 18 five-star prospects have offered a commitment — including Paramus (N.J.) Catholic cornerback Jabrill Peppers to Michigan. Clark, however, actually had to slow down his star tailback when it came to committing to his school of choice. Harris hasn't been a fan of all the attention the recruiting process brings, and he wanted to get things over with. Most importantly, he had already found a school that wouldn't be passed in his eyes. "I'll be honest, after we left Michigan [from a visit for the 2012 Michi- gan State game], I saw it in his eyes," Clark said. "I'm surprised it didn't happen earlier. A lot of that was just me saying, 'We need to take the time to look at other schools, because you don't really know what all is out there.' "He's had a chance to do that. He's looked hard at a couple other programs, and nothing's been close to being enough to make him say, 'Michigan's not in my heart anymore,' and he's to the point now where he just said he shouldn't wait any longer." When it comes to racking up elite tailbacks, it certainly didn't hurt Michigan's case that perhaps the best in 2015 grew up dreaming of wearing the winged helmet. — Tim Sullivan Computer BriefCase This messenger-style, expandable black leather computer briefcase features a large main compartment with plenty of organizing space.
