he has never visited Stanford.

If this is the case, then Peppers' comments about Michigan are all based on only having half the information he needs.  He'll get out to Palo Alto, maybe meet Condaleezza if she's available, meet some of his possible future professors and teammates (might not be a bad idea to have him connect with Josh Garnett, who chose us over Michigan, despite being urged by a friend to go to Ann Arbor), meet Derek Mason who specializes in training DBs, get a taste of early summer in California.  If he goes to Michigan after all of that, well, then he really isn't a Stanford guy, and there should be no moaning about it.  Move on to finding the next great DB for us to develop.

It's all about the team, the team, the team.

But it sure would be nice for him to verbal to Stanford.
