Charles Carter: Possible Nicholson Replacement?
Now, I don't like to read into twitter too much and I'm actually never really on there. But I saw Peppers posted some more highlights on his twitter, so I went to check it out and happened to stumble upon this:
S/O to possibly my college future teammate @JabrillPeppers everybody go follow him 〽 #UofM #MichiganMan

So I wondered who is this guy? This is all the information I could find. And I know it's not a lot, but I thought it was worthwhile to bring it up. And yes I realize the link below is an OSU site, but like I said, not much info on him.

SYR- What college football team did you grow up being a fan of and why?
Charles- UofM Because I grew up in Ann Arbor.
SYR- Who would you say is your personal hero and why?
Charles- Charles Woodson just because of the fact that he’s my favorite football player of all time.
He does mention OSU as a dream school near the end, FWIW.
#Project135 sounds real good

i sure hope not. rivals doesn't rank him and doesn't list any offers either.
August 28th, 2013 at 12:54 PM ^
But I read somewhere that Minkah Fitzpatrick (2015 five-star DB) is transferring to Paramus Catholic (Peppers) and has legit interest in UM.
August 28th, 2013 at 12:57 PM ^
I think the guys at rivals said that this wasn't going to happen. Kinda wish it would have though, I would have loved to have Jabrill be able to get in his ear more about the Wolverines. Still have a definite shot though.

Ding Ding Ding, we have a winner
August 28th, 2013 at 1:53 PM ^
I hope not, I want all those Prep boys to stay together and bring a state title back to Jersey City.
August 28th, 2013 at 1:01 PM ^
He could be thinking about walking on/be offered a PWO spot. I'd be shocked if he was offered, given that we already full for DB recruits in 2014 (apparently Juju Smith is being recruited as a "Athlete").
August 28th, 2013 at 12:58 PM ^
Maybe he plans to try and walk-on?
August 28th, 2013 at 12:59 PM ^
He said Purdue and Michigan are waiting to see his first game before deciding whether to offer a scholarship or not. Sounds like OSU has some serious interest as well.

said something to the effect of he would never be offered more than a preferred walk-on spot.
August 28th, 2013 at 1:13 PM ^
I think someone posted something about him having visited this past weekend. I would agree with the sentiment that he gets nothing more than a walk-on offer.

I follow Toledo - football and I've barely heard of this guy. Seems his lack of ranking is justified from what I've seen. Curious how The Commish got involved with this guy...makes me want to know more. To the Googles!
I'll have to go check out a Toledo Rogers football game if things get serious or if he's more of a PWO.
August 28th, 2013 at 3:25 PM ^
I get the feeling that Carter reached out to The Commish.

Sorry to hijack this thread but I can't create new threads (I've been a poster here since 2009 under the name "artds" but my account is all messed up and the mods can't figure out what's wrong with it so I created this one.)
I have an extended family member who's a graduate assistant at the University of Arizona, and he says Arizona approached Michigan last month about scheduling a home and home during 2016/17. As far as he knows Michigan is supposedly considering the proposal but apparently Brandon told AZ Athletic Director Greg Byrne that he doesn't want his student athletes traveling that far so early in the academic year and that the travel to Arlington last year was a big burden on the team. Just passing along the info with the usual "friend of a friend of a family member" caveats.

That seems like a bad idea for both sides.
I think the travel argument is lame to the point that I'm not sure I buy it. Up until the last 10 years, we have fairly regularly traveled to the west coast for an early season game.
August 28th, 2013 at 1:47 PM ^
I say let's do it. We'll take on anyone.
August 28th, 2013 at 2:56 PM ^

I can think of one worse, and we're playing them next year so.....

if an Arizona RR team beat a Michigan Hoke team would come close to the meltdown if we lost to Appy State again.
All that aside, Brandon's supposed argument that flying out west is too trying is hogwash. We've gone out to UCLA or Washington for early-season games in '83, '89, 2000, '01, and '03.
I think his reservation is more due to the fact that we're 1-4 in those games out on the west coast.
August 28th, 2013 at 2:54 PM ^
Agree that the travel excuse is not the real reason.
The benefits for a win would be far outweighed by the negatives of a loss.
RichRod would love it. He obviously hasn't lost any confidence. He thinks he'll have Arizona ahead of Hoke and Michigan in a few years.
August 28th, 2013 at 3:14 PM ^
The travel thing is an excuse mostly. Assuming RR would still be the coach then, this game would be a huge media circus sideshow that Brandon would want to avoid. I'd have to agree with him. It's kind of a no-win situation for Michigan. So, it's better to keep the line in the water and keep fishing.
August 28th, 2013 at 2:18 PM ^
If he wants to walk on that's great but that's it. There isn't a scholarship for him. That's why we stopped recruiting Nicholson. We had less attrition than expected and there wasn't a spot for him. Just 2 spots left and those are reserved for McDowell and Hand. As Sam Webb said this morning we stopped recruiting Monte because "there was no room at the inn." If a spot did somehow open up then we're back on Monte if he's available. Then we go down the pecking oreder if need be.
