You figure Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh could afford a really nice place to stay with a contract that’s worth about $5.25 million a year.
However, Harbaugh is after some quality time with his potential recruits, and for the second time he had a sleepover with one of them. This one is an Alabama target.
This time it was with one of the top defensive linemen in the country, Connor Murphy out of Arizona, the No. 16 weakside defensive end in the Class of 2016, according to 247Sports.com.
Murphy tweeted out this picture of the in-home visit on Tuesday:

Harbaugh’s first sleepover during this recruiting cycle was with Quinn Nordin, the No. 1 kicker in the nation and a Penn State commit on Jan. 14.
Aside from Michigan, the 6-foot-7, 250-pound Murphy also has Alabama among his top five college choices along with Pac-12 schools Arizona State, Oregon and USC.
