Recent success and future expectations have allowed the Michigan football program to chase—and already land—several of the 2017 recruiting cycle's best prospects.

Although head coach Jim Harbaugh and Co. aren't pursuing every highest-rated option, the Wolverines are in the picture for commitments from those players.

Summer events like unofficial visits and camps will allow the coaching staff to get an up-close look at some of the talents. Those interactions might even lead to verbal pledges.

While the Wolverines assuredly won't grab every top-ranked prospect, they'll likely keep contact until pen meets paper on signing day.
