TomVH: DT Aziz Shittu & **DT Ondre Pipkins Offered
California DT Aziz Shittu (6'2", 280 lbs) was just offered by Michigan. He had been in contact with Coach Ferrigno, and talked to Coach Mattison today. Besides having an awesome name, his film is pretty impressive as well. You can take a look here.
Shittu also has offers from Arizona, UCLA, Stanford, and Washington among others. He says he doesn't have a top group yet, but Stanford is a school that sticks out so far. He reports a 3.8 GPA, so academics will be in consideration.
Here's what he had to say about the offer:
I'm pumped. I just talked to Coach Mattison and he said I'm what they need at Michigan. He likes the way I play, and they offered. [Mattison] has coached at the highest level, so he knows what he's talking about.
Former Saginaw, current Missouri DT Ondre Pipkins was also offered today. Here's what he had to say about the offer:
This is a big offer, most definitely. They were telling me that they want me up there bad. I'll try to get up there in the summer if not mid March. It's great to have the offer, with the new defensive coordinator it means they'll have a tough hard nose defense. Michigan is definitely in my top five.

Holy Shittu, this class has so many great names.
February 21st, 2011 at 3:34 PM ^
That girl would be hot without all those tats.
February 21st, 2011 at 3:36 PM ^
Who said it's a girl? Maybe I was feeling free one night.
I don't want to add the /s tag, but I will.

Hips dont lie
February 21st, 2011 at 3:44 PM ^
I would tell her to put her shirt back on and leave. Are you kidding me?
February 21st, 2011 at 3:57 PM ^
3 tats turn your off? You can't even tell what they are. To each his own I guess.
February 21st, 2011 at 4:03 PM ^
I think the post you've responded to was intended to be sarcastic. The fellow wouldn't really tell the tattooed woman in the Michigan underpants to put her shirt back on. He feels scornful of the other poster who said he disliked tattoos.
February 21st, 2011 at 4:29 PM ^
made me laugh.
February 21st, 2011 at 6:38 PM ^
He gotta explain it to the kids
February 21st, 2011 at 3:36 PM ^
They just keep betting better and better
February 21st, 2011 at 3:29 PM ^
i don't care what his film looks like, I want someone named Aziz Shittu on the team. I'm pretty certain Mattinson and Hoke would agree as well.
February 21st, 2011 at 3:30 PM ^
I shitt u not this kid is the real deal
February 21st, 2011 at 3:33 PM ^
So we have Scheisse and Shittu in the same post. Incredible.
February 21st, 2011 at 3:38 PM ^
Needs to off me. I have a great QB name.
February 21st, 2011 at 3:39 PM ^
They need to off you?! It's not worth it man. There is always something to live for.
February 21st, 2011 at 3:41 PM ^
I'm strongly opposed to university-sanctioned murder. Please hire a private contractor if necessary. Thank you.
February 21st, 2011 at 3:55 PM ^
Give Saban any more ideas for getting down to 85.
February 21st, 2011 at 4:25 PM ^
If I could give you a MGoPoint for this post I would.

Don't worry, just another 56 posts to go and you'll become a "trusted" user. That means you can use the voting system and start new threads, plus you won't have to type in a code every time you want to post.

Dude ,seriously you cracked me up right there. Funny shitt !
February 21st, 2011 at 3:44 PM ^
OSU next year.
February 21st, 2011 at 3:44 PM ^
Aziz Shittu is a genie who appears when you sneeze and poop at the same time
February 21st, 2011 at 3:49 PM ^
I was named after Doug Williams out of Grambling.
February 21st, 2011 at 7:03 PM ^
Your parents named you OneShotWonder?
February 21st, 2011 at 4:07 PM ^
Interesting fact: Aziz Shittu has appeared before Big Boutros no less than twenty seven times during the course of his lifetime.
February 21st, 2011 at 4:47 PM ^
Snoop got his name.
February 21st, 2011 at 5:16 PM ^
Soon to be a feature-length animated Disney adventure, with Dave Chappelle as the voice of Aziz.
February 21st, 2011 at 3:51 PM ^
It's good to hear these kids so excited about Mattison. Hopefully the excitement translates to big time, on the field success.
February 21st, 2011 at 4:24 PM ^
I'll Shitt-on-U if you get in my way, Suckeyes!!! Come on down to AA, brotha!!
February 21st, 2011 at 4:39 PM ^
As much as I supported R.R., It's clear he had the defense in ruins. It's nice to see all this interest in Michigan again. No big name players were going to come play for an unstable coordinator in a 3-4etc.
February 21st, 2011 at 4:40 PM ^
..ish..he's in here sporadically.
February 21st, 2011 at 5:52 PM ^
Missouri OL Evan Boehm (6'3", 290 lbs) is one to watch from that film also.
February 21st, 2011 at 7:15 PM ^
Does Boehm have interest in us? I know we haven't offered yet but he's got an impressive offer list too - Oklahoma, Nebraska, Arkansas, Iowa, Wisconsin, among others.
February 21st, 2011 at 9:43 PM ^
Yes, he has interest. I believe he was picked for first team at the Army combine, and he's also a wrestler (he placed 4th in the state tournament as a frosh and soph).
February 21st, 2011 at 10:33 PM ^
February 21st, 2011 at 6:46 PM ^
O' Brien is really impressive in that film. He has the best moves out of any of the DLine prospects. Godin looks good too. They don't just bullrush like the rest of the players.
February 21st, 2011 at 7:12 PM ^
Yeah, O'Brien looked like a monster on that film, unless the guys he went up against just weren't very good. Godin looked solid too. Jaleel Johnson might have been the second best behind O'Brien.
February 21st, 2011 at 10:23 PM ^
O'Brian looked amazing on that video. He was the most impressive IMO. Diamond looked pretty good too except for one when he got knocked down. Picking up Diamond and O'Brian, two top 100 players, would be fantastic for us in two big areas of need.
February 21st, 2011 at 10:43 PM ^
Godin looked good but I was surprised by how skinny he looked.
edit- I probably could of combined this with my other response, sorry. I"m kind of bouncing around other sites right now and didn't think about it, duh!!
February 21st, 2011 at 10:34 PM ^
Wow, Pipkins looks dominate, I like him a lot!! Jaleel Johnson looks pretty solid too other than that first clip of him in the video. Go get 'em coach Hoke!!
February 21st, 2011 at 4:53 PM ^
He would be a great pick up.
February 21st, 2011 at 5:10 PM ^
are already known for are tough hard nose defense,I like.GO BLUE!!!
February 21st, 2011 at 7:26 PM ^
Were's My Offer !
February 21st, 2011 at 8:49 PM ^
I don't think you would pass clearinghouse!
February 21st, 2011 at 9:31 PM ^
A way to get greased into AA. !
February 21st, 2011 at 11:17 PM ^
But we need more slot receivers!!!!
February 24th, 2011 at 10:44 PM ^
Nice to hear Pipkins say we are definitely in his top 5 thats always what I look for other than the generic this is a great offer for me.
