Like for most recruits Stanford offers, his recruitment, IMO will come down to whether Peppers is admitted or not.  Guys like him aren't going to commit to Stanford and then de-commit later.  He doesn't want anyone to be able to say he was denied admission.  He's too proud and competitive.

Moreover, it's not like if a recruit were to choose Michigan, Alabama, Ohio State or LSU after being denied by Stanford, that anyone would bother to even consider he might have been denied Stanford admission.  I've read the comments fans have made about him on other sites.  Even after three BCS games in a row, nobody thinks a star player like Peppers would ever choose Stanford over one of those programs.
