COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Given Michigan signed five-star defensive end Rashan Gary of Paramus (N.J.) Catholic and four-star running back Kareem Walker of Wayne (N.J.) DePaul in the 2016 recruiting class, you'd think the Wolverines own New Jersey.

But those results may not be a complete indication of how Michigan is being perceived by coaches at powerhouse high school football programs in New Jersey, one of the most talent-rich recruiting areas in the country.

Some aren't that crazy about what's happening between Michigan and Paramus Catholic.

Though Jim Harbaugh hired Chris Partridge from his head coaching job at Paramus Catholic and the Wolverines have had a ton of success recruiting New Jersey, it's not going to be a runaway battle.

You can tell by how Michigan's satellite camp at Paramus Catholic on June 8 is being received.

Rutgers, Ohio State and Temple announced yesterday that they're having a satellite camp that's happening the same day located less than 10 miles away. It was a direct response to Michigan, and even though Rutgers and Ohio State are divisional rivals in the Big Ten, the joint effort to slow Michigan's momentum makes sense.

According to NJ.com, coaches at Paramus Catholic's rival high schools are going to encourage their players and prospects to attend the Rutgers and Ohio State camp over Michigan's.

"Obviously Michigan wants to conspire with Paramus Catholic to do whatever they want to do," Oradell (N.J.) Bergen Catholic coach Nunzio Campanile told NJ.com. "So I don't think they're making friends from that standpoint with a lot of these schools. I really don't know what to say about it. But it is what it is. They're obviously aligned with those guys, and if that's what they want to do, it's their business.

"But I don't think Rutgers should let those (Michigan) guys come in here and have their way. I also think that any high school coach in New Jersey who lets their kid go to Paramus Catholic has to kind of re-think what they're doing. I'm glad that Rutgers is doing it. I'm glad that Ohio State is doing it. And I hope it's extremely successful."

Partridge will certainly help Michigan navigate through New Jersey, but how Paramus Catholic is viewed by other area coaches is something to keep in mind. Multiple sources told cleveland.com while reporting blowout New Jersey features last fall that Partridge isn't the most well-liked person in New Jersey.

Paramus Catholic has been the recipient of a lot of New Jersey talent through transfers, which, of course, has rubbed opposing coaches the wrong way.

So now that Michigan and Paramus Catholic are seemingly teaming up, rival coaches are encouraging their prospects to attend the camp hosted by Rutgers, Ohio State and Temple.

"I think it's a great response," Campanile said of Rutgers and Ohio State. "I think (Chris Ash) is sending a message that this is our state. Listen, Michigan has a great program, but I don't think they should be setting the terms on how it's done in New Jersey. Rutgers is the home-state school, and I think we should all respect that. We should all respect the job that Coach Ash has ahead of him. I think that he's doing a great job. We're here helping him any way we can."

Ramsey (N.J.) Don Bosco Prep coach Greg Toal agreed.

"I got a ton of respect for Urban Meyer and the Rutgers coach seems like a real gentleman," Toal said. "So I definitely would attend their camp for sure. I think there's a tremendous amount of loyalty to Rutgers and also to Ohio State. I'd love to attend their camp, and I'll try to bring my team for sure.''
