Anyone heard news about Pipkins?
Has anyone heard any news about Ondre Pipkins in recent months? It seems like he will likely be lost for this fall, since we haven't heard much news. Has he been able to control his weight?
If it is in his best interest, I hope they redshirt him to give 2 full and healthy seasons left of eligbility.
I heard he ate Subway for lunch. 6 inch turkey no cheese, lettuce tomatoe black olives with lite mayo.
Pee Wee is going to be fine, its cool to wonder about a player, even cool to ask a message board question about it. BUT don't imply that he's not a dedicated Michigan Athlete.
Didn't imply that he isn't dedicated. Any person that becomes unable to exercise due to injury is at risk for gaining weight.
You can exercise plenty when the knee is immobilized and plenty more during rehab.
whoa buddy, a bit harsh no? I think maybe get some sunshine outside.
Downvoted for that horrible sandwich choice. Sounds awful.
I'm sure he's fine. By the time fall camp starts it will have been 9 month since the injury. My guess is that his playing time will be limited in the early part of the season, but he'll be close to 100% by the time conference play starts.
In before the delete?

Did you by chance have that picture sent to you by a coach, or perhaps a rival fan posing as a coach of a school that is recruiting you?
So, no news equals... bad news?
I believe Pipkins did suit up for the spring game, although I cannot remember if he played extensively or not - I would imagine not much if at all depending on where he is in his recovery, but I could be wrong. He is also still in virtually every projection to be in the starting front four on defense, and while an article a few weeks ago mentioned that he was "still recovering" from the ACL injury, they gave every indication that he should be at least close to ready by the time the season starts.
Yes i remember him going through light drills during the spring thing on TV...I dont think he played at all which is the usual for guys off ACL injury..I expect him to be ready for the start of the season.
I was watching him. Didn't play in the scrimmage at all but he may have been in some contact drills. He seemed to be moving well and there was no evidence of excessive weight gain. I'll be really surprised if he redshirts.
Pimpkins.
Thanks for the help. I feel embarassed.
I have been around these parts enough that if the OP had spelled Ondre's name as such, I know that people would have taken every opportunity to correct him. So, damned if you do, damned if you don't.

I saw this.
Went for my first little run yesterday and my knee feels great!

Jake and I had our ACL reconstructive surgeries about a week apart (mine before) and I feel the same way. I've been mountain biking for 3 weeks and playing around with the dogs in the backyard since the snow melted. My knee feels great.
Good news on Jake. Thanks for posting the tweet!
Balanced option and oddly enough, still without any scholarship offers...
Can you make a call for a 33 year old quarterback, who may or may not have eligibility issues?
Married then?
Quite hypocritical. Even though it was very poorly done, all the person wanted to know was simply, what's up with Pipkins and you mock them. Mocking someone, one way or another, implies you think they are stupid. It's just passive aggressive. Using the blog to mock someone that you so openly choose not to support by not purchasing an HTTV because Brian explicitly called people stupid one day is hypocritical. Where do you work or what business do you own so people can chose to support or not support it based on your behavior on this blog? At least when Brian makes his comments his identity isn't hidden. I don't have a personal vendetta, but it does bother me when people hold others to a higher standard than themselves.
Did I miss where WolvinLA was asking mabrsu for donations?
I was merely joking, I'm sorry if it came off overly mean, as that was not my intent. The OP overreacted, and I poked a little fun at him for it.
I sell an ultrasound device. If you work for a hospital and are in the market for one of those, check with me and I'll let you know which company I'm with so you know to buy one of my competitors. They're cheaper anyway.

I was going to post this question in another thread but can he/has he received a medical redshirt for last season?
Not according to the rules, no. There's always an outside chance at a case by case appeal, but I doubt it.
Five games is two too many.
Unless your name is Tyler Moeller and you play for OSU, then 5 games is just right... for a second redshirt...
Like you really don't know much about the situation, and your speculation is a bit ridiculous.
Ondre is angry.
VERY angry.

I think you're assuming too much based on the fact we haven't heard anything. I'm sure it's just a simple explanation that the coaches intend to have him lose about 65 lbs and move to fullback, redshirt for a year while he learns the position and his new role in the one-back offense, and will be ready to be a beast of a lead blocker by 2015.
Good for fall. Was good weeks ago, but they held him out of spring game. He, Earl, Frank,and Beyer will start in first game on DL unless something changes. Horses' mouths. Thank me later.
