Plucking Crops From the Garden State
Michigan becomes the
latest program to plunder
New Jersey’s most prized
high-school football talent
BY ANDREW BEATON

When Kareem Walker decided in


December that he would attend the
University of Michigan, he called up
his new football coach on FaceTime
during his announcement.
“You’re a nugget of gold in our
eyes,” Jim Harbaugh told the prized
running back during the video call,
audible to everyone because of
Walker’s microphone.
If Walker, who starred for DePaul
Catholic High School in Wayne, N.J.,
is a “nugget of gold,” then the state
of New Jersey has become Har-
baugh’s personal gold mine. The Wol-
verines’ 2016 recruiting class already
includes five commitments from the
Garden State, including some of its
most coveted recruits. It’s a fairly
new destination for what has been a
decades-long parade of New Jersey’s
best talent to more prominent pro-
grams around the country.
But Harbaugh isn’t quite done. On
Wednesday, which is National Sign-
ing Day for high-school football play-
ers, Michigan is widely expected to
land the consensus No. 1 player in the
country: defensive lineman Rashan Jim Harbaugh, above, has lured four of New Jersey’s top recruits to Michigan, including Camden’s Brad Hawkins, below left. Below right, Paramus Catholic’s Rashan Gary.

“Every school tries to find some of

“Michigan in particular wants to have
a strong national brand. New Jersey
is where they’ve planted their flag
most successfully out of all.”
That’s no accident. New Jersey
consistently produces high-level tal-

Time to Plan for Spontaneity


We book ahead for everything so
just plan to be unplanned, too;
new apps secure last-minute
reservations and tickets
BY NINA SOVICH

Every once in a while Heather Schwager


decides to stop on her way home from work
for a glass of wine.
The inspiration strikes when the 42-year-
old executive recruiter is just five minutes
from pulling into her Washington, D.C.
driveway, and the dollop of impulsivity cre-
ates a break from her routine.
Spontaneity, always in short supply, is
scarce these days. It is nearly impossible to
get reservations for dinner at coveted res-
taurants. Movies sell out, and vacations are
planned to the 15-minute increment. A
month ahead, parents can be sure their
child gets into an art activity at the local
museum and reserve ice cream at the
nearby cafe for lunch afterward.
All this planning may not be good for us,
creatively or romantically. Last-minute deci-
sions and the surprises that may stem from
them, such as finding a new, even better,
cafe with open tables, or watching a film
you hadn’t planned to see, are joyful.
Companies and small startups are re-
sponding by offering the option to plan at
the last moment. The appeal: organized
spontaneity.

“There are the people who tie up the
best restaurants and hotels really early,”
says Priceline Group CEO Darren Huston,
“but they are offset by another group who
make their decisions at the last moment.
There are real extremes of distribution.”
Spontaneous planning is growing fast,
says Mr. Huston, due in part to people book-
ing on their mobile phones and what he
calls industry plumbing: Hotels, restaurants
and entertainment venues are developing
the back-end capability to handle last-min-
ute requests.
“Hotels have realized they don’t have to
panic if they are going into the last 24
hours and everything isn’t booked,” Mr.
Huston says. Restaurants are also beginning
to keep tables free, knowing some custom-
ers want to make reservations at the last
moment. Currently one fifth of reservations
made on Priceline’s OpenTable app are done

husband Jonas Salk, the polio vaccine
pioneer, they popped into an antique
shop in Plaka, the city’s old neighbor-

Acropolis.

1960s, she would sail around the Ae-
