Looks like Jabrill Peppers verbally committed to Michigan :(

really not a big loss as he was a longshot to get admitted. He would have had to retake the SAT and probably do much better, take 2 AP classes and get B's, write some great essays, and probably put the rap career on hold. I think he realized he can coast the rest of the way and get to the NFL after 3 years at Michigan. Stanford isn't for everyone.

If, in fact, the recent events with Everett Golson at Notre Dame are related to academics, that should serve as a reminder of Young Money's point: if your school takes academics seriously, and the player isn't ready to handle those requirements, best not to go down that road in the first place.
