With so many people believing Michigan would land the young star, the school and Jim Harbaugh took a pretty big "L" on Twitter from Alabama fans. Here are some prime examples:
Najee Harris to Alabama. Hard to imagine getting a player like that without hosting 32 satellite camps.

Ah, and here come the 'we're just fine without Najee Harris' from Michigan fans.
Bless their hearts.

How did all the reputable Michigan reporters get such a bad read on Najee Harris? Kid never decommitted from Bama and seemingly never spoke
