“Coach, you know, that’s no problem. I’m definitely honored, and as you know, getting to speak to you over the years, I love what you’ve done with the program and good luck,” Webber said. “Yeah, I’ll definitely be a part of it. Followed you guys going to, I think to Rome and all that good stuff. I heard you’re going to Africa next year, I’m going to try to jump in the suitcase with you guys. I would definitely be honored, Coach. You know, I would do anything for you. The No. 4’s at Michigan need to stick together.”
Chris Webber hasn’t been at a Michigan game (save that 2013 national title game in Atlanta) since his first year out of school in 1994. The ice cold relations are thawing rapidly between Webber and U-M. Harbaugh inviting him himself was big.
