Tweeted out by Sam Webb. Pretty self-explanatory:

I'm pretty good at lip-reading. Let me give it a try.
I believe he's saying "Greg James killed five hookers at SMU." Gee, I wonder who Greg James is?
January 6th, 2012 at 1:57 PM ^
Pipkins is hilarious, his impression of Hoke's walk the second time at the end is gold.
January 6th, 2012 at 2:26 PM ^
He's a hoot!
January 6th, 2012 at 2:57 PM ^
Grandma, is that you?
January 6th, 2012 at 2:32 PM ^
Is pretty good too. When Kalis was asked about going against Tommy Schutt, he says, "Why don't you ask him how that went". Can someone inbed this?
January 6th, 2012 at 2:43 PM ^
on the field. But as long as they're friendly off the field, all is well. I like the first segment of the interview much more. Especially Schutt admitting Kalis whooped him in practice.
January 6th, 2012 at 1:57 PM ^
OMG that's the funniest thing I've seen in days.
January 6th, 2012 at 1:57 PM ^
Looking forward to when they let him do a few press conferences.
January 6th, 2012 at 1:57 PM ^
This young man is starting to become my favorite player. Funny dude and soon will be dominating on saturdays hopefully for 4 years.
January 6th, 2012 at 1:58 PM ^
be having big boy doing some extra laps this fall. Kalis wanted nothing to do with it, hilarious
January 6th, 2012 at 1:59 PM ^
Awesome!!!
January 6th, 2012 at 1:59 PM ^
posted in another thread.
Am I the only one shocked about what appears to be the relative size of the players?
Is it me or if Bolden is 6'3'' 230 as listed, Ross looks under 6 ft and who knows how light. Also Pipkins looks shorter, maybe 6 or 6'1'', than Bolden. If I didn't know I would have thought Ross might be Richardson. Has anyone seen Ross in person? Is the video playing tricks?
January 6th, 2012 at 2:05 PM ^
That's not Bolden. Pretty sure it's 6'5" Kalis.
January 6th, 2012 at 2:04 PM ^
No need to panic. That is Kyle Kalis in the video and he is 6'5.
January 6th, 2012 at 2:05 PM ^
It's Kyle Kalis, who is 6'5".
Edit: Well, looks like we've got that one covered.
January 6th, 2012 at 2:07 PM ^
He is 6' 0" or 6' 1" around 215lbs. He looks small because he is next to two guys over 300lbs.
January 6th, 2012 at 2:04 PM ^
Well ummm that is Kalis not Bolden so there is that...
January 6th, 2012 at 2:10 PM ^
Maybe that is Bolden.
Bolden is so good, he can be in two places at once.
January 6th, 2012 at 2:16 PM ^
My bad. Makes a lot more sense, I was thinking Bolden (ie Kalis) looked huge. Still think Ross looks a bit short but feel a lot better.
January 6th, 2012 at 2:05 PM ^
Is it possible for someone to make a GIF of Pipkins immitating Hoke's strut (from about 1:40-1:43)? That would be hilarious!
January 6th, 2012 at 2:08 PM ^
They didn't stop him ... just as guilty!!
When it comes time to run, those boys will RUN:)
January 6th, 2012 at 2:12 PM ^
That is pure comedic genius from Pipkins, I had tears in my eyes from laughing
January 6th, 2012 at 2:13 PM ^
Haha the walk was better than the talk!
January 6th, 2012 at 2:15 PM ^
Wow,he's got the walk down too....Lol,funny as hell...
January 6th, 2012 at 2:15 PM ^
Hmm I wonder what Hoke will think about this?
January 6th, 2012 at 2:38 PM ^
My guess would be that he'll love it. Hoke doesn't seem to take himself too seriously. He takes the team very seriously, but not himself. These types of guys are great for team chemistry. There's nothing disrespectful in the impression, it's just playful. Some guys just know where that line is between funny jabs and being disrespectful, and frankly the guys that always blew my mind were the ones who seemed to have absolutely no sense of where that line was and were always getting themselves in trouble for showing up their coaches/teachers/profs. Ondre is a great kid. Can't wait to get these guys on campus.
January 6th, 2012 at 3:22 PM ^
I believe when Pipkins was asked the other day why he committed to Michigan, one of his first answers was Brady Hoke. Hoke is going to be one of his primary coaches along with Montgomery on that defensive line, so you better believe that they're going to develop a relationship. I'm sure it will be a good one.
January 6th, 2012 at 3:35 PM ^
Down-up's will be fun this fall.
January 6th, 2012 at 2:16 PM ^
Jordan Payton to Cal per his tweet.
Someone please start a new thread as I do not have enough MGoPoints to do so. Thanks.
January 6th, 2012 at 2:17 PM ^
Going to love watching him, on and off the field, for the next 4 years!
January 6th, 2012 at 2:19 PM ^
good lord, i cannot wait for ondre pipkins pressers!!!
January 6th, 2012 at 2:23 PM ^
I am liking these kiss coming in..hilarious!
January 6th, 2012 at 2:24 PM ^
Damn the Droid Swype function
January 6th, 2012 at 2:20 PM ^
that's funny right there, I don't care who ya are.
January 6th, 2012 at 2:21 PM ^
Needs to be in one of the front page posts.
January 6th, 2012 at 2:32 PM ^
If this makes it until next Thursday without that happening, well, let's just say I've saved the tab in my browser.
January 6th, 2012 at 2:22 PM ^
Gold Jerry Gold!
January 6th, 2012 at 2:26 PM ^
That video is great. I already love this kid!
January 6th, 2012 at 2:31 PM ^
the other guys look like they're torn between laughing and wondering if they'll get in trouble.
I think Brady would laugh and then tell him to make sure he goes to class.
January 6th, 2012 at 2:32 PM ^
Pipkins is a beast. The dude is built like a mack truck...the fridge (when he was playing and in shape) comes to mind when I see Pipkins
He is going to be a handful for opposing O-lines. Not only is he built like truck, all the experts say that he has really good technique. I think there is a good chance that he will play early. Not to mention that he sounds like a good natured kid.
As for Ross, he may be 6"1' but the dude is jacked. He is not a 6'1" tweener/needs to hit the gym, Ross is pretty thick, with a very solid built. I am sure that the trainers will have some issues here/there, but I think Ross looks, physically, like he is ready to hit the field.
As for Kalis, the dude is all-consensus awesome, physically and technically wise. Those three guys will be big time players at Michigan.
January 6th, 2012 at 2:54 PM ^
I'm only a year older than they are, so its nice to see them playing around and enjoying themselves. I can relate to them a lot.
Great Hoke impression by Pipkins!
EDIT: Just watched part 1 with them talking about what they thought of each other and thought about other commits, and it proves my point again. They just having fun and can laugh at each other.
January 6th, 2012 at 3:06 PM ^
Did Ondre say something about Josh Garnett?
January 6th, 2012 at 3:37 PM ^
He said Josh Banner. And then smiled and everyone laughed. Yep, a slip...
January 6th, 2012 at 2:36 PM ^
WELLL... ya' know, Ondre's a funny guy. And we expect him to bring a toughness and a physicalness to our defensive line and help us win a Big Ten championship. Tremendous. Fergodsakes.
January 6th, 2012 at 2:37 PM ^
the kid's confidence! No way will starting as a freshman next year faze him. He makes me less sad that Mike Martin is graduating.
January 6th, 2012 at 2:46 PM ^
I'm still sad
January 6th, 2012 at 2:44 PM ^
I think the best part of these videos, quotes, and other musings we get is that it appears these young men are beginning to really build bonds and relationships with each other - before they even reach campus.
January 6th, 2012 at 2:48 PM ^
I love Pee Wee Pipkins - he's quickly becoming one of my favorites in the 2012 class.
And it's also great to see how these kids get along and genuinely like each other.
