It isn't signing day yet. We can still do work with Hand.

yyyyeeeah NO
November 14th, 2013 at 2:58 PM ^
That's rich.
November 14th, 2013 at 3:08 PM ^
0.0000000% chance Da'Shawn Hand flips anywhere. Dude did his research and apparently thought it through about as well as any recruit I've ever followed. There's no prima donna or hastiness to this commitment. He's going to Alabama
November 14th, 2013 at 1:25 PM ^
Why are we appreciative? He doesnt play for M and could go elsewhere if he wanted. I appreciate Desmond Morgan for still playing hard
November 14th, 2013 at 1:49 PM ^
because he chose M over dozens of tops schools, and continues to recruit for us.
November 14th, 2013 at 1:25 PM ^
Looking forward to seeing Mr. Peppers playing in the Maize & Blue!
November 14th, 2013 at 1:26 PM ^
If U of Texas hired Saban, possibly.

So what is he doing at 'Bama these days?
November 14th, 2013 at 3:00 PM ^
He was on punt coverage.

Go Blue!!!!

of a line with push.

Taco appeciation thread.
We had a lot of eggs in the "Hand" basket
November 14th, 2013 at 1:44 PM ^
Can we wait until a guy does something on the field for the UM program first? No offense. Was there a Kyle Kalis apprecation thread last fall? A Will Campbell appreciation thread pre signing? Lets stop with the recruit worship - this is a HS kid, not even a signed UM player. Should I start the George Campbell appreciation thread? Just to be fair to the 2015s?
November 14th, 2013 at 1:46 PM ^
I'm calling on Brian to shut down the board for a couple of hours just to save the mods the effort in deleting threads like this.
November 14th, 2013 at 1:52 PM ^
Please make comments on my nonsensical George Campbell appreciate thread. I am thinking of doing an Erik Swenson apprecation thread too.
November 14th, 2013 at 1:51 PM ^
than Hand would have been I believe. Don't get me wrong though - I really, really wanted Hand to come here too. But let's all be thankful for who we DO have in the fold. Go Blue and beat Northwestern!
November 14th, 2013 at 2:29 PM ^
beat Northwestern for GD sake and lets get some good mo going.
Blaaaaa
I love you Peppers, you are a beast, maize and blue loves you.
I just looked at our 2015 committs, I forgot how B.A. they all look
November 14th, 2013 at 3:26 PM ^
November 14th, 2013 at 7:03 PM ^
Peppers won't be coming to UM to play football. I don't know why but I feel like it's a matter or time before he decides to decommit.
November 14th, 2013 at 8:38 PM ^
Good thing his number one priority in college isn't a national championship.
November 15th, 2013 at 7:22 AM ^
getting ugly, I come here for comedic relief, the Michigan perspective, and to read some good news for a change and even the thank you Jabrill thread has turned into a general pissing match from a bunch of whiney cry babies who just want to turn this site unreadable, from the fire Borges crowd to the funk coach funk crowd who just don't get it that teams sometimes have bad seasons. Sooner or later they will be on their way to greatness it happens all the time. I remember when Iowa, Purdue, Penn State were great, now they suck but they will have their years when they will be good again. Northwestern was a doormat for years as far back as I can remember so quit your bitching and lets try to be a little more positive in here. So we can come here when the rest of the NCAA is laughing at UM and make this site a bastion for UM fans. GO BLUE!
November 15th, 2013 at 11:12 AM ^
I want Jabrill to stay and I'm 99% sure he will, Hand isn't flipping and we already have the talent to win. We are young. Youth doesn't win conference championships or in our case even the division. I'm tired of hearing all the crap about recruits. I follow our recruiting closely as I do all B10 teams. Wisconsin and state in the B!0 don't recruit even close to our level and they win. Oregon is another team that doesn't recruit on our level. The difference is their staffs have been recruiting the type of players that FIT their systems. Our 2010 class is basically down to DG and JakeMFingRyan and Ryan was not even a top 400 recruit. We are fine, Peppers makes us better I think mostly because he seems like a real leader not just a great talent. Development and experience is what we lack. If Borges calls the same game against Nebraska or psu or even state 2 years from now the O Line will be getting the push needed for 3-3.5ypc and be able to pick up blocks better on the pass rush. I HOPE.

Given the choice, I would rather have a dominant CB who shuts down part of the field. This is an opportunity for other players to step up.
