The award for the "premier athlete of the fall season" in Northern New Jersey goes to Jabrill Peppers of Paramus Catholic, an "athlete" in the 2014 recruiting class whose current top five includes Michigan (and Stanford, LSU, Notre Dame and tSIO). He’s a 5-star on Rivals and a 4-star on Scout where he’s rated as the third best cornerback in the 2014 class. http://www.northjersey.com/sports/185972662_H_S__football__Special_honor_for_Paramus_Catholic_s_Jabrill_Peppers_for_PC_s_Peppers.html
According to Jared Shankar
Thought I remembered
Thought I remembered something about him being a Michigan fan, and the google machine confirmed my suspicions. He told Tremendous in the spring that he grew up a big UM fan, so I'd be surprised if he pulled a 180 and favors Ohio so soon in the process. Stranger things have happened I suppose. He also said he was planning on coming for a visit sometime before the season ended but I don't remember that happening... I'd be interested to hear one of our own get the story from him.

"Michigan Defense" is dominating everything, in every aspect of life. That's a rough definition.

It would be nice if Michigan could grab an elite boundary corner, because the elite-ish guys over the past few years (Countess, Richardson, Lewis) have all been field corner types.
Actually named Stanford
Actually named Stanford first, and Shanker's opinion was that Ohio may be the team to beat.
Saw this as well but we are
Saw this as well but we are leading with Westphal and have a great shot with Webb among other targets so I'm confident in our staff. I'm not saying this as the normal OSU fan as we don't want him though. He would be a great addition to the class and it is a long way to singing day.
EDIT: i prefer singing day. Shows a real commitment to UM.
Somewhere Roll Damn Tide is lurking...
I'm not a big fan of singing
I'm not a big fan of singing day. You find out that a lot of these guys need to just stick to singing in their cars or showers, not in public.

Shanker lives in Columbus
I'm not saying he's biased, but he probably gets the most information from a buckeye perspective.
Eating is murder.
Hmmmm...
I can only assume he breathes primarily with his mouth as well?
If the haters don't hate you then you're doing something wrong. - David Cone
He mentions Stanford every chance he gets
And has named the school his favorite more than a few occasions. The impression in Palo Alto is that they're in the catbird seat, so I'm not sure where Shanker got the opinion from.
We'll try our best to keep him out of Columbus.
Got it from...
Shanker said he met with Peppers at his school and talked with him for a half hour or so. When another poster questioned the situation like some of you guys are (e.g. 13 months out, OSU in best position though they're #2 and little hope for Michigan fans, how Derrick Green was an OSU lock last year and now look, etc...), I guess it hit a nerve with Jared because he posted a response that came off rather rude and pissed off and it sparked a bit of a WolverineNation forum war. His reply has since been deleted (wish I had saved it).
Yeah
I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up there. It's hard to predict with blue chippers. It's just that there seems to be a lot of conflicting evidence at the moment, so I'm not sure why the certainty on his part.
It's the day of top fives!
First Da'Shawn Hand and now Jabrill Peppers. Great news! Lets get these guys!
off topic, but why in the F
off topic, but why in the F does espn have a front page story all day today about urban meyer earning a $150k bonus for OSU being ranked 3rd to end the season? I mean, I know why, but just silliness. that is not even remotely newsworthy.
Cause it's espn and they also
Cause it's espn and they also have a story about Brazilian prostitutes learning English in preparation for the World Cup,
I'm not joking.

Really? How long does it take
Really? How long does it take to learn 'I cost x per hour'?
Oh no. This article mentioned
Oh no. This article mentioned that the prostitues were learning how to understand what turns their clients on. I just hope someone teaches them how to avoid Craig James.

Craig James
Craig James wouldn't last five minutes in Brazil.

That's what the 5 dead hookers
allegedly said.
...confidence is the stain they can't wipe off...
Craig James hates soccer...
Way to progressive. But did somebody say hookers?
'Cause I Bleed Blue...
Close
The way I heard it, each of the hookers said Craig James wouldn't last one minute. But there were five of them, so...

5 Brazillian hookers
would gang up on Craig James and force him into a Brazillian Wax Job, he might actually like it, that guy.
There was a link to that
There was a link to that through CNNSI as well. Seems a smart move, get the girls enough English to hopefully forestall wasting the cops time with "customer" complaints.

According to Jared Shankar over at espn, Ohio state leads, lol. Don't shoot the messenger.
