Palepale article in The Athletic

Didn't see this posted.  A couple of points stood out.  

"One play from Michigan’s 24-15 victory cemented Palepale’s decision. When he saw 339-pound Kenneth Grant chase down running back Kaytron Allen from behind, Palepale had a feeling that Michigan was the place for him."

"Given the uncertainty with USC’s defensive staff, Nua supported Palepale’s decision and offered to send a letter of recommendation to Michigan, Palepale said."

Yep. That play should make every RB think twice about playing for *any* team with M on their schedule. 340 pounds should not be able to move that quickly. 😁

Going to be some old faces returning to Michigan when the 4 Pac-12 schools join next year in addition to Shaun Nua at USC. Those schools might have more Michigan connections than the ones in the current Big Ten. USC could potentially have some turnover on defense so some of those guys might be on the hot seat.
