Signing of the Stars: Surreal, Bizarre, and Amazing

Michigan's "Signing of the Stars' event concluded yesterday afternoon.  The event, the first of its kind, was a "Welcome to Michigan" party for recruits featuring B-list celebrities, former Michigan players, and a few superstars with Michigan ties by the names of Tom Brady and Derek Jeter.

The event garnered HUUUUUGE (insert Donald Trump voice) attention nationwide.  Some loved it, some hated it, and most were confused by it.  There is little doubt that the event will catch the eyes of future recruits and will be replicated by college coaches next year.

Perhaps the highlight of the event is this photograph taking by the Players Tribune.
