I thought Peoples fired his gun in the air at his apartment complex to try and scare away people who were milling about the parking lot near where he parked. Police were called. But I don't think he was in a gun fight. Unless he was, and I just never heard that story.

But Shonte's situation was total bullshit IMHO.

He was in his apartment late at night (perhaps sleeping) and his car alarm started going off.  He looks outside and sees several men in plain clothes standing around his car.  He leans out the window, yells at them, and fires his gun several times.

Turns out these were police officers in plain clothes, who had tried to get into his car because they thought they saw something illegal inside (can't remember what).  When Shonte yelled they shouted "Police!" before he fired his gun.

They claimed they identified themselves as cops and he shot at them, but they never found the bullets.  He claims he fired in the air.

Discharging a weapon in they city (or township), okay.  Trying to kill cops, no way.

offensive lineman during the first day of competition.

Link

 

 

Alpha Dog Honolulu (Hawaii) Kaiser offensive lineman Michael Eletise did not get a ton of reps on Wednesday but the 6-foot-4, 313-pound guard from Hawaii made the most of his. Eletise was easily the most physical lineman on the day, throwing Antwuan Jackson to the ground on one rep. He keeps his feet moving on the interior and gets a great initial punch to not let the defender into his body. Next Three: 1. Gregory Little, Allen, Texas: One rep against five-star Rashan Gary aside, the nation’s No. 2 overall player looked the part on Wednesday. He was one of the few tackles that was able to keep the speedy edge rushers at bay. 2. Frederick Mauigoa, Pago Pago, American Samoa: The three-star from Samoa was one of the bigger surprises on the day. He stonewalled a couple of stout defensive tackles at the line and had the other players asking who he was. 3. Michael Onwenu, Detroit (Mich.) Cass Tech: The 6-foot-3, 365-pound Michigan commit is stronger as a run blocker on tape but he was pretty much impossible for the defensive tackles to move on Wednesday. He had the entire offensive jumping up and down when he threw a defender to the ground like a rag doll.

Combination of points earned from running the 40, vertical leap, shuttle drill, and kneeling power ball throw.  You have to be great at everything to win.  Last year's winner was Kirk Merritt (signed with Oregon) with a 148.83.  Speedy Noil (A&M) won in 2013 with a 153.90.  Georgia Manbearfreak Nick Chubb had a 142.59 that year.  The all-time record is by former OSU commit Mike Mitchell who had a 154.47 in 2012.

So a 149.49 is pretty fucking good especially considering he's a junior to be.

I'm pretty sure that DPJ is not Shonte's son. Shonte has been pretty vocal about his experience at Michigan and even an wrote autobiography a few years back and he makes referance to having 1 child, a daughter of college age. Apparently DPJ's mother and father are both UM grads but neither is Shonte. So apparently he is a legacy but not who we're assuming.

It's an understatement that Michigan wants and Needs this kid....In-State freak from a pipeline school with ties to the school through his dad. Yeah, he's must get. 2017 is strong instate, and he's at the very top of the list. He's going to have his pick of any school in the country.

he could be the top player in the country at a UM feeder school. We can't let osu/Combs steal him. We can't let Bama get him, etc. We need this kid. BTW, did anyone else see that kid with the gravity defying vert? He jumped with form where he spun his arms and, I kid you not, he floated in the air for a split second! lol. He hovered for a half second! Defied gravity!

It's because you pay attention to Michigan more than the other schools.  It's not abnormal by any means.  If any recruits are like I was in High School, I wanted to get out of my Dad's shadow and stop being compared to him as an athlete.  I was the older brother and I'm sure my brother got sick of being compared to me in athletics.  I'm sure the opposit could be true as well.

Don't count FSU out for DB Jr.

One, it is VERY possible DBJr. was showing interest to us (and others) so other freinds from his HS could get noticed/offers - and may well indeed end up at FSU at a later date.

Two, he has had multiple crystal balls to FSU the last few days.

It is not unheard of that elite players assist in others at their high school in getting not only noticed, but offers they may not have recieved otherwise.  Its a potential warning sign if the others commit, and the elite prospect does not with them, or near the same time.

I can't post on here, so I am using this thread to ask. Does anyone know when they will televise the Elite 11 and The Opening? I've been looking for info on that, but can't find it. Sorry if this info has already been given.
