Man Just Because I Got To Meet @JabrillPeppers Today Made my Michigan Visit That Much Better! #Goblue #bbqmaizerace

LOL Jabrill is already a celebrity
I know. I was thinking Malzone would be convincing recruits to commit, didn't even think about the impact of current players!

If King is 6'-6" then Peppers isn't going to be huge—he's about 5'-7". What is Wellman doing to him? He's shrinking.
was on his knees.
Peppers bows for no man.
I was at Schembechler Hall for a tour last week and I can assure you jabrill peppers is huge. Dude looked ready to go.
Shirt is epic!
Some one needs to make him the exact same shirt, but themed "Sparty Stomper"!.
It is raining like crazy here in Royal Oak.
I hope they got all of there inside stuff done and the top targets are inside giving verbals.
I'm on gold watch here: )
The feast has been slaughtered. Hopefully commits for dessert.
like dusk to dawn?
I don't know if anyone has access.
#Michigan moved up with Marcus Lewis (@THE_NUMERO_UNO)... WAY up! Full story coming, but here are few quick notes ($) http://t.co/oDTyy0wmgA

He wants to take officials, so no need to buckle up.
Wiltfong switched his CB fot Tyriq Thompson back to MSU. This guy is a flip flopper.

#Michigan's "Amazing Race" visit concept & social media tie-in receiving rave reviews. Don't be surprised if/WHEN it's copied. #bbqmaizerace

I was impressed. A lot of tweets and instagrams showing top recruits having fun along with many showing off the campus. Advertising like that would be expensive.
Yeah but it won't quite work for other schools theme-wise...what an A-maize-ing idea
was much maligned for various reasons, his lasting legacy may well be the BBQ at the Big House, which is quickly becoming not only a great recruiting tool, but a tradition as well.
Always lined up for that every time I attended a game and quickly became one of my favorite parts of gameday.
I believe one of the facilities upgrades in the AD vision (that $$ expansion of multiple buildings) includes a paved "walk of champions" along that Victors Walk.
I wonder if Brady is using the secret ingredient for the BBQ sauce he found in his desk.
Hold The Rope!
It's all about coaching them up.

We had a much higher rated class on the field and played atrocious.
After a 2-day visit to #Michigan, 2016 Top100 WR Cameron Chambers will make his college decision Friday (FREE): http://t.co/uoxgiDJj0A
— Steve Lorenz (@TremendousUM) July 28, 2014
He'll release his top five tomorrow. Lorenz says Michigan "may be the favorite considering the timing of the announcement."
Their Director of recruiting just switched his CB prediction on 247 to Blue. Sounds good...
#bbqmaizerace on twitter, and saw a couple tweets by Cam Chambers. I don't want to read too much into what he tweeted, but I'm pretty sure he's genuinely interested in Michigan after attending the BBQ.
In the meantime, looks like he's busy in an artistic and creative way, getting ready to make a "collage decision" on August 1st.
Would be a great week on the recruiting trail for the wide receiver position.
How many spots does 2016 have to offer?
I count 18 in the 2016 class. Given a little attrition, it looks like low 20's.
I was hoping for at least one more recruitment this weekend
But if a kid has a great time, goes home, thinks about it, and then commits, I'll be less concerned about a decommit in the future.
True, especially considering how two of the verbals from last year's BBQ turned out.
kids go home, talk with their parents, think it over for a day or two, then decide they want to pull the trigger.
Ohio's defense was almost worse than our offensive line.
That's what I'm talking bout! #bbqmaizerace pic.twitter.com/KWrZ6FEZUV

now has Michigan leading for Marcus Lewis and Cameron Chambers. What makes me feel even better is that Florida guys are now changing Lewis and Ohio State guys are now changing Chambers.
Anyone have any details on the race? What were the rules? Prize?
