Peppers at RB next year?

The door was left open by Coach Harbaugh today. 12:13-12:49

Also, Mone coming back for Saturday doesn't sound good. 23:46

He looked natural in the TB spot last week.

Really glad Mone isn't coming back for 2 or 3 games. Burning a RS isn't worth it.

100% agreement.

Peppers is the only RB who actually hits a hole and does not pussy foot around

I have doubts that Mone will stick around after he graduates. I think he is/could be good enough to leave early. so I want him to play as much as he can while he's at UM. then again you all know how high on him I have been since he was our first offer in his class so my opinion is admittedly selfish and biased.

whether he stays off the field and takes a redshirt or if he wastes in on one game doesn't matter to me because like I said, I think he will leave before he can use that red shirt anyway. The only thing I really care about with Mone is that he is %100 healthy when he does come back.

If he's not ready this weekend and the gods shine down on us and we make it into the B1G championship game then I say re-evaluate him. if he can play then great, play him. If not, let him sit.

same goes for the bowl game or god willing [gulp] the playoffs. I don't care if he plays one snap or an entire season. he came to MICHIGAN for two things, get an education and play football.

Again, I think he's gone after his degree because he will have that option. So play him while you can.


sorry to hijack the peppers at RB thread with my Mone rant.

RB scares me. Take a lot of hits. I like how they are using him this year.

I agree 1,000,000%.

If Kareem Walker commits, hopefully Peppers won't need to.


That being said, I think Peppers could rush for 1,800+ yards as a full time RB.

to take the next step to be NC contenders we need elite talent at both LB and RB that perform as such when they get here .... Peppers is that guy ... hopefully getting Walker will allow Peppers to stay on D

IF Walker comes to Michigan. He'll be at the Iron Bowl Saturday and you know how shady sec teams are.

never say never (see DaShawn Hand) but Walker is more a lock to me at this point than Hand was before his SEC visit and that is saying a lot.

But as we saw Hand ended up at 'bama because their engineering program was easy. Talk about a snake-oil salesman, wow. Only Saban could spin his school inferiority into a positive.

well I'm not exactly sure Saban said, 'hey DaShawn MICHIGAN won't let you go into engineering because theirs is a tough school but ours here at Bama sucks so we will"

but you are correct. round-aboutly, that is exactly what happened.

I have no info. on this but I assume it went this way:

While on his 'bama visit Hand told Saban that he was strongly considering Michigan because of their elit engineering program. Saban then replied, "Oh, so they let you look at the program huh?"

Hand answered, "No, they showed me their Sports Marketing program."

Sabn then said, "See, Michigan doesn't think that you can handle their engineering program so they showed you the Sports Marketing program. I'll arrange it so you can study engineering here at 'bama."

Boom, that's all it took to lure Hand. He became 'bama bound from then on out.
