Speight and Peppers Named Captains For Tomorrows UA All-Star Game
Wilton Speight and Jabrill Peppers have been named team captains for team Nitro for tomorrows game. The game is at 4 pm tomorrow. I figure I'll throw some other good info from the last few pratices in this thread as well.
5-stars Da'Shawn Hand & Jabrill Peppers tied for the most votes among standout performers for Day 3 at #UAAllAmerica. More later from Scout.

On @JabrillPeppers, "It’s not even close. He’s the best one I’ve coached," said Herm Edwards, who has coached @AllAmericaGame three years.

From @HermEdwardsESPN to @JabrillPeppers after another PBU: "Pep, tell these boys you got a blanket for em over here! Got em ALL covered!"

There's so much to like about Jabril Peppers. While others taking a break, he's working on footwork all by himself. #GoBlue #UAAllAmerica

Jabrill Peppers now taking snaps out of the wildcat for Team Nitro. Look for that Thursday #UAAllAmerica #Michigan

cont'd @HermEdwardsESPN: "I'm going to call (Hoke) next week and tell him 'you've got a good one now. @JabrillPeppers can go!' #UAALLAMERICA

Up front @bmone5252 had his best day. Overpowering in 1-on-1s. Still learning pass rush moves, but power game is already there #UAALLAMERICA

https://vine.co/v/hVnj79ampX7 - This is a vine from TomVH of Bryan Mone going one on one.
Bryan Mone has been impressive today on the interior line, maybe Team Nitro's best interior lineman today #goblue #uaallamerica

#Michigan commit Juwan Bushell-Beatty held his own in several 1-on-1 reps vs. #Alabama commit Da'Shawn Hand today at practice #UAAllAmerica

Out at the #OffenseDefenseBowl practice, #Michigan LB commit Chase Winovich with an acrobatic interception in the end zone during 1-on-1's

Just thought I would share some of the good news from twitter with you guys. There was another one I couldn't find but essentially Herm Edwards called Deion Sanders over and asked if Sanders thought Peppers was the best they've seen in 3 years. Sanders agreed that Peppers is the best they've seen.
There is also some news that Bushell-Beatty had a rough few reps with Hand but then held his own the next few. Thus people saying he split reps with him. I know some people last time I made a post thought I was just sharing all good news. So, I am trying to share everything I have heard. I'm excited about the whole class. I think it will be a very good class.

I respect that too and I also couldn't help but notice just how jacked he looks in that interview.

Yeah...it's tough for freshman defensive tackles to come in and dominate, and I don't think Mone should seriously be discussed in that manner, anyway. There are some really dominant defensive tackles who struggle as freshmen, and Mone has been very good but not dominant.

Thanks for sharing this. It is encouraging to know that we not only have several recruits playing in the UA game (as well as Cole being in the Army game), but some of them are being placed in a position of leading the team that they are on. I rather like that they get the opportunity to know each other better through these game before they arrive on campus - it seems like developing those relationships early should be beneficial.

I am really excited about this incoming class, and it will be fun to see them compete in this game. This collection of talent isn't quite Div.1 competition, but it's a window for these guys to see how much better you have to be just to compete at the next level.

I remember Joe Bolden being "impressive" too. And Derick Green...and...
Until I actually see Hoke and the boys develop players that clearly "impress" in B1G games, and games on the road - I'm finding it more and more difficult to get excited about up and coming recruits. Sorry to be a Debbie Downer, but the pudding lately has just not tasted as advertised.
