Urban Meyer finds recruiting success without Jim Harbaugh-style stunts

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- After a full year of competing head to head, Urban Meyer has taken notice of the recruiting tactics of his new rival, Jim Harbaugh.

Just don’t expect the Ohio State coach to start sleeping over at the houses of recruits, climbing trees or taking his shirt off at satellite camps.

Like seemingly everybody else in the country (and certainly around the Big Ten), Meyer hasn’t been able to miss what’s going on with the Wolverines. But heading into national signing day with the No. 2 class in the country, Meyer clearly isn’t feeling much pressure to copy some of Harbaugh’s unorthodox methods, even while trying to blend his own old-school, relationship-driven mindset with a new-age approach.
