Did anyone actually see Peppers' announcement?

Submitted by Decatur Jack on

If so, how did it go down?

Did he do a fake out before picking Michigan a la Derrick Green? Did he put on a hat or was it just "I'm going to Michigan"?

As of this writing, the Oregon-Nebraska women's softball game is STILL going! AAAAAAARRRRGGHHH!!!

Is ESPNU running a replay of JP's announcement?

The announcer sucked that's for sure.  I know some people have commented that Jabrill seems cocky in his highlight films, but his interview shows that he's a great kid who's focused on his future.  All the best to him while he attends UM.

wow.  that was an impressive interview by Peppers - he does come across as exceptionally confident, but also well spoken and with an amazing smile.  He seems very self-aware.

This guy has star written all over him.

Peppers did a little rap segment to announce his choice. He ended his announcement by putting on the "winged" helmet. Can't wait for this kid to get to A2

This 2014 team is going to be unfucking believable! I'm beyond psyched for next year now and this year hasn't even happened yet lol

Really. No hat BS, more of a spoken word rap than freestyle and also a bit funny in how unique it was. Plus, he just came off as a very mature kid. Very level headed, intelligent, polite and funny. Couldn't be happier to have him but would have genuinely rooted for him wherever he went.

"Who let the dogs out?" 

And Jibreel was going to awkwardly say "uh, yeah" while tugging at his collar.  

Seriously, that ESPN dude made this dude:

Look like this dude:

He made this, uh, dude:

Look like this dude:

In fact, I'd go so far as to say that dude made this dude:

Look like this dude:

Kid is serious class, funny, has perspective at too young of an age and seemingly pretty smart. Great commit video...combined with his tapes...oh my...this one is going to be huge!

that Jabrill has swag like Mike Hart. He seems like he's not afraid because he knows he's good AND he raps. I really hope he recruits more guys into this class, namely Hand. What a pickup.

He's planning to play CB at Michigan.  I know, it is quite interesting that all his highlights are from offense.  But scouts say he has the footwork to be an elite CB.  If I'm not mistaken, Woodson played mostly offene in high school as well.

From prolonging his announcement, so teammates could get exposure, a denard-esque grin,  to hearing the song he put out on youtube, you can tell he's an all around great kid. I know he'll make an impact on the field, but you can tell he's the type of person that will make a huge impact off the field. Saturday's are going to be even better watching him wear the winged helmet!
