Question on DB/S Recruiting
So on the Scout/Michigan front page they list an offer going out to 3 star saftey prospect from Florida Quincy Wilson. I know many of us are hopefull/confident about getting Peppers, but what position are we recruiting him for? How many DB's are we taking? Last I saw I thought it was 3 with the hope of . . .
J. Peppers - Safety
P. Westphaul - CB
M. Nicholson - S
Obviously any attrition would change this, does anyone know out DB recruiting situation?
Perhaps the coaches just really like his film. He has a very good offer sheet.
We spoke with him after the coaches swung by to see him last week and he said the coaches told him they are only taking one guy in the secondary.. From all my info I have gathered, it appears that would be Jabrill Peppers (ATH) and than a Parrker Westphal.
Who is we?
I can't keep track of all these new sites.
I would have thought that the site he is associated with would be listed in his sig.
He just joined today so he might now know how to do that.
he didn't have a signature or avatar, you're definitely right there. Also, I love how the dude with 4000+ points is posting from Bolivia.
I use to post from Bolivia. If I never re-told a tasteless joke I would be at least 8000. I think I got the 5000 point neg bomb and have worked myself back from the depths of CAPTCHA hell.
Not questioning anyone's reporting, but I will be shocked if we only take 1 DB in this class.
but more if it is the right people. Our roster is stocked evenly enough now that we can take the best player available. We would definitely take Peppers, Westphal, and the right S if they all wanted to commit.
BBR as in Bleed Blue Recruiting
RDT Resurfacing?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
That would be RDTR
Hah! I've never seen this before.
We're recruiting Peppers as a CB, Westphal as a nickel/slot corner, and Nicholson as a safety.
Like someone said above, I would be very surprised if we take just one defensive back. We've got 1 QB, 1 TE, we're taking 3 WRs, we want 2 LBs, 3 offensive linemen, presumably 2 RBs (Hoke said he'll always take "a couple"), 2 defensive linemen... All that adds up to 14. Unless they've increased their desired numbers for one of those positions, that should leave 2 spots for defensive backs. Obviously, there will be more open spots if there's attrition.
Only 2 on the defensive line? 1 DT and 1 DE?
That's the way it seems. I think they would take Hand (a DE) and McDowell (a DE/DT) and call it a day. Weakside end isn't a huge need at this point with Clark, Beyer, Ojemudia, and Charlton. But they would probably take a WDE if Hand or McDowell escapes.
Don't forget about Mone.

It seems with the guys we got last class and the good prospects for 2015, we could get by with one. Besides, it doesn't sound like we have a bounty of top RB's in our sights currently.
I don't think Michigan needs two, but that's what Hoke said.
We will take two.. 1 will obviously be Peppers who I feel we land, and 2.. which I hope should be Westphal. From speaking with Nicholson last week he says they merely just keep in touch over Facebook and that the coaches havent dropped by in a little while. Seems things may have somewhat cooled with him... The coaches seem to be saying just 1 cause they want premier players. I.E the offer to Oliver is merely just a backup option.. Think Crawford from last year's class.. If Reon Dawson hadn't committed than odds were that Crawford would have been offered and more than likely committed. I say we get both Peppers and Westphal at this point.
Don't think that Nicholson is just an afterthought here. I saw him at the Pitt Rivals Camp last week - we want this kid. His being recruited as a safety, but he could play CB too. He has over 30 offers, and is taking his time. He has been on campus 3 times, and will likely be back in the fall when he makes his officials. If he wants to commit - the coaches will find a spot for him (even if Peppers and Westphal commit by then) - I think Nicholson is that good.
