Pipkins named to Army AA game
Used the Google search and didn't see this posted, and the screen will not allow me to go to page two of the MGoBoard (does anyone know a fix for this?). Congrats to Ondre! Hopefully a couple more names already on this list will go Blue.

Edit: Here's an free Scout interview as well with some Pipkins quotes...

I don't know why that happens sometimes either. When it does i just switch to recent and look through those.
September 28th, 2011 at 12:01 AM ^
Right click and open page in new tab or window. That should allow you to go to the 2nd page.
September 28th, 2011 at 10:21 AM ^
I think it is a bug that happens every once in a while. I usually just click to a diary and then try to go to page 2 on the board and it works.

we need to get this Drob guy on the Mgoblog payroll .....hes always got the breaking news
September 28th, 2011 at 12:03 AM ^
Anyone have a full list of UM commits/targets already named?
September 28th, 2011 at 12:16 AM ^
I believe its now at 5. I could be wrong but I think this is the list here:
1.) Kalis
2.) Pipkins
3.) RJS
4.) James Ross
5.) Magnuson

Damn. That will be a fun game to watch. I hope the invitations/commitments keep coming.
September 28th, 2011 at 12:30 AM ^
He accepted.
September 28th, 2011 at 12:55 AM ^
This is true. Strobel's name is not on the list for the game. There was also a post several months back that Ojemudia had received and and accepted an invitation to the Army game (if I remember correctly it came from Ojemudia's twitter account) , but neither of the two are on the list, so I'm not sure that they are involved in the game. I think they are both nominees, but not actual selectees yet.

The sad fact is that most of UM's Army All-American participants of the last few seasons have been huge busts or have not contributed at Michigan.
To wit:
- Boubacar Cissoko
- Sam McGuffie
- Brandon Smith
- Anthony La Lota
- Justin Turner
- Cullen Christian
- Will Campbell (improving but still well below expected)
We have had more success with guys in the Under Armour game: Craig Roh, Taylor Lewan, Devin Gardner.
I'm actually starting to think that we have some kind of jinx on players who participate in the Army AA game.

Adrian Peterson was such a bust...
September 28th, 2011 at 8:18 AM ^
I don't recall Peterson playing for UM.
September 28th, 2011 at 8:25 AM ^
Well, at least we've got Blake Countess, Matt Wile, and Will Hagerup...
September 28th, 2011 at 10:12 AM ^
That reminds me, I forgot to include Brendan Gibbons in my "bust" list.
Yeah, we still have a few guys who might prove to be valuable contributors after playing in the Army AA game: Gallon, Hagerup, Wile and Countess. That is still a surprisingly low "hit rate" for as many AA's as UM has managed to sign in the past few years.
Let's hope the 2012 Army AA class is more successful than their predecessors.

I think the last three years is really an outlier in terms of player development and retention. That is/was my main critizim of RR, and I don't expect the same results with the current staff.
September 28th, 2011 at 12:21 AM ^
Boom. That's awesome.
September 28th, 2011 at 12:26 AM ^
Big Pip is my favorite recruit outside of Kalis (for putting the screws to the Nuts). Very happy for him and really hope he stays healthy.
September 28th, 2011 at 5:29 AM ^
The guy is probably the toughest kid out there - He plays DT at his size. Says something about the guy's heart!
Apart from that - Pipkins! & Kalis
September 28th, 2011 at 5:56 AM ^
Agree. Love that kid. He's going to be a hell of a pass rusher down the line I think.
September 28th, 2011 at 9:32 AM ^
dwayne stanford hasn't gone blue already.......considering Mike Martin is his coach
September 28th, 2011 at 10:20 AM ^
Wow, really? I'd love to get him but everything I've read seems to indicate he and Adolphus Washington are a package deal and are no longer considering Michigan. In fact, I thought they both have cancelled their scheduled official visits, no?
Why would you be surprised he hasn't committed yet? Did I miss something or do you have some inside information? I thought Payton, Darboh, Powe and Madaris were are our best hopes for landing top notch receivers in this class.
September 28th, 2011 at 11:18 AM ^
Maybe you should pay more attention to the "Mike Martin" part of the post.
September 28th, 2011 at 2:58 PM ^
Does anyone know if we have any recruits on campus this weekend for the Minnesota game?
September 28th, 2011 at 7:47 PM ^
Big congratulations go out to Big Pee Wee. That is a tremendous accomplishment.
Go get 'em, Ondre !
September 28th, 2011 at 8:10 PM ^
Prediction: Pipkins finishes with 5 stars after owning fools at the AAA practices and game.
