is a GREAT day for Michigan Football.
We got quality, and lots of it. We got kids that want to play for Michigan, want to wear the Winged Helmet, want to sing "The Victors".
Happy?
I'm happy.

I think he'll jump right in! You can place him on a Lilly Pad and he will lock down that FLY route.

a GREAT day to be a Michigan fan! We got great kids that want to be at Michigan.

Who's the last player that is this talented? Really, he is so good at so many positions. When he settles into one, we are really going to see something special. Pile on the Talent!

But seriously.

Thanks Alex, I'll take "Things I Can't Wait to See at Michigan Stadium" for $1,000.

from a couple of days ago, Peppers seems to be much better. . . I am eager to see what this guy can do. . .

I have a nagging fear (and will continue to have it until proven otherwise) that we will walk Jabrill out to a CB spot on opening day...and line him up 7-10 yards off the LOS like we always do with our CBs

it is so hard to keep my cool when watching the television screen on a 3rd and 5 or so... and like you guys said.. the DB's are playing 10 yards off the WR. I just want to yell "GROW A PAIR!" to the play calling. But before I can finish.. a WR has already got the first down on an easy 5 yard slant.

they dont have a pass rush and mattison knows he cant count on CBs to cover for 4 seconds on key downs. someone mentioned a comment from mattison re he can now employ schemes and games with peppers in play he otherwise would not. if they cannot generate 4man rush, and nothing or no one on roster should lead anyone to beleive otherwise (short of charlton developing by next year or someone else making insane jump in production) then mattison either needs to play soft and underneath on key downs or get aggressive and pressure with 5-6 or more....either way, its only matter of time until it bites you. thats why hes been so hesistant to bring it. peppers at least gives mattison an athlete that should be able to match up with anyone on field (and versatility is massive) and allow him to do more. but they dont have a 4 man rush and probably will not again next year given the pass rushing / 1on1 talent at the top half of depth chart so temper expectations bc mattison is still limited in calls. peppers is a big piece and helps a ton and ive thought all along hes nfl draft lock barring injury, but they can only do so much with a weak DL (now hopefully the true and redshirts we havent seen much past few yrs step up and prove me wrong but as of now clark/beyer/ojemudia/etc have not and will not consistently win 1on1 matchups and that effects the entire D scheme and attitude)

feeling, bu tI have this reoccuring dream where that happens and THEN he jumps a routine ball thrown in the flat, and takes it to the house. Weird thing is that the other team is wearing different jerseys. Some are green and some are red and grey, but each player on the other team does have a shit stain on their arse.
February 5th, 2014 at 11:03 AM ^
Yes, a very good day indeed! Love the recruiting under Hoke and Co., and looking forward to these guys playing in the years to come.

Welcome to Michigan, Jabrill! Looking forward to watching you play in the maize and blue this fall!!
February 5th, 2014 at 11:36 AM ^
Jabrill will make a big impact this year and possibly see snaps on offense by mid-season.
February 5th, 2014 at 12:18 PM ^
but I'd be very pleased to see him make an impact on defense, with special teams as a bonus. How many players in the modern era have played on both sides of the ball as true freshmen here? I can only think of Terrell and Bellamy
February 5th, 2014 at 10:32 AM ^
Good luck to all the great kids in the 2014 recruiting class. I am looking forward to the fall for sure.

The new season cannot come soon enough, Jabrill, Countess and Dymonte in the defensive backfield has me fired up. JMFR healthy, Frank and Taco crushing qb's. Beefy D-line to keep lb's clean. Another full year in the weightroom for the OL, TE and receivers the height of a basketball team. Lots to like...

since you're mentioning our DB situation and such.. what is the deal with T-Rich? I remember he was a pretty highly recruited player.. and he had that one blip where he said something along the lines of "I better be a starter from day 1" (paraphrasing). Did he end up just busting... or is his mouth getting him in trouble still? Really, I thought he was going to play a big role for us some day.. but I guess he's still pretty young.
February 5th, 2014 at 7:55 PM ^
could be wrong but i think richardson still 5'9" 170 lbs soaking wet w rocks in pockets - granted an improvement from the 150lbs when arriving in AA but still way undersized. a DB must be truly gifted and elite in coverage and instinctually at 5'9" 170 lbs due to liability in most situations against taller stronger WRs and not much hope of aggressively attacking in run game. if mattison has demonstrated anything at um, its that hes wary of playing undersized DBs who can be abused in run game and rightfully so. the kid could be tremendous athlete - by all recruiting accounts richardson was - but his size just buried him on depth chart

If Jabrill Peppers turns out to be a bust, I'm just gonna quit following recruiting.
This kid looks like he's gonna be awesome.

after he won the super bowl, "allahu akbar."
welcome to michigan, mr. peppers. may videos abound of you rapping on occasions as good for michigan fans as your commitment to our school.

period after opening presents. Good times but wish it hadn't ended so soon.
February 5th, 2014 at 10:41 AM ^
Not a single recruit id take over Peppers. What a great addition to the team.
February 5th, 2014 at 10:43 AM ^
has character and understands commitment. None of us can imagine the pressure this young man was experiencing to abandon Michigan. Through it all he was steadfast knowing what he wanted, what was best for him and keeping his word.
This is a Michigan Man!
