I don't have time for this today. I need specifics so that my wife doesn't yell at me for looking at my phone all day.

If you've ever visited Stanford's campus, well let's just say it's holy shit beautiful.  He actually seems serious about academics and as good as Michigan is, well, Stanford is a top 5 undergrad University.  Now that their football is top tier, I put this at 60 - 40 Michigan. 

Does he have family or any ties to California?  Distance could be a factor here.

This. I had the pleasure of spending maybe a total of ten hours on Stanford's campus a couple summers ago and it's just unreal. If he decides before going out there, that would be great, because you never know what could happen when he sees what they've got to offer.

Stanford's campus is totally different from Michigan's. As beautiful as it is, it feels isolated from the community in Palo Alto. I really like that Michigan is part of Ann Arbor.

Point here is that the campus a personal preference thing. If he visits in the summer, the contrast between awful Michigan weather and perfect NorCal weather won't be as pronounced.

Now from a tweet which was retweeted by Jabrill so pretty much comfirmed by him. "Jabrill Peppers head coach says "He is getting close to a decision. He will prob make his decision in early June to focus on Sr. year."

This means before Stanford

Hope I'm wrong but Stanford is one of those schools/campus that you cannot help but like, especially when their football team is good. I think we have fandom and location in our favor but I have a feeling he visits Stanford and both schools are "equal" again. Words of being "blown away" and the like will be tossed around. Hope I'm wrong but I see this dragging out.

Just checked out his highlight real for the first time.  All I can say is WOW!  One of the most impressive I have ever watched.  Charles Woodson 2.0 is a pretty apt comparison.  I would think Hoke and Borges won't be able to resist putting him out at WR on occasion and returning punts like Woodson did.

I like what I'm hearing. It's been a while since we have had a truly elite game changing player in the defensive secondary and special teams. I honestly can't remember the last time I felt there was a chance for a big play with every pass or punt. YES!!!! Please!!!!!
