LIST OF WWE PERSONNEL?!?
add another item to the pile as to why this was a bad idea
Dennis Dodd could have stopped at the headline, but he continued to write an excellent article.

Paywalled. Let the hand-wringing over "The Policy" recommence.
[Ed-Ace: This was debunked by Tremendous, Sam Webb, and TomVH. So... probably no need to worry, methinks.]
Wiltfong is at the Army All-American game.
And there are no Michigan FB commits there.
This is most definitely not helping the post Outback Bowl disappointment.
Per the above link, Poggi is schedule to visit Alabama.
If true, this would be at least his 3rd visit to Alabama (first official), which, as I recall, was the other serious contender for his services, but he chose Michigan for "academics."
This was referring to a Michigan full-back...weird title.
Fuck.
Weird because I talked with him shortly after his official to Ann Arbor a couple weeks ago with the rest of the class. He said he had a blast and that it reaffirmed why he chose Michigan in the first place. I'll try to get in contact with him to see if it's legit.
Hopefully he sees the tightness of this class and realizes its different than most
cause this sounds like BS
Why? He is not Michigan's property.
I read on TOS that Biff Poggi (dad) said "I have no idea where these things come from, I wish people would just check the facts."
Anyone remember Poggi's quote about how his decision would be set in stone because he viewed going back on it as dishonorable (or some other adjective I can't remember)?
So I imagine this is McCray, Kugler, or Poggi, correct?
Edit: Nevermind, posted before edit.
Poggi
If it's true, it's a position where we have a lot of depth at but he is a good player.
Damn, thought this one was over
BULLSHIT
Of course... He has been blowing up at the under armour practices.. so lets throw some fuel on the Hoke no visit policy.. Fuck
Chizill people...lets get some confirmation before we have a full on meltdown
There's never really a legitimate reason to 'panic'...but this definitely never bodes well when one of our best recruits wants to visit a school that goes to the national championship every year so late in the process.
I think if there's one thing we can count on, it's this -- there's no better coach in America at the heart-to-heart talk with a player than Hoke.
Hoke is no dummy. He'll have that talk with Poggi to see what's going on in the kid's mind and heart. Hoke has shown a remarkable ability to understand and connect with his players at that level.
My guess is Hoke would rather have a player who commits to Michigan fully rather than harbors a regret for not having explored more fully. If Poggi has that lingering in his heart and he's honest with Hoke about it, my guess is Hoke tells Poggi to listen to his heart and do what he has to do. But here's the key -- there'd likely be no malice in Hoke's words, tone or message. That's why players respond to Hoke and are willing to go to such lengths for him
ugh here we go again......
Darn it!!!
Apparently Poggi expressed interest in visiting Texas A&M a while back (before Dawson rejoined the class), but I doubt he visits now as they are pretty much full and expecting even more commits.
Well.... Since Poggi projected to 3-Tech or 5-Tech, do we go looking for someone else if he chooses to go the 'Bama route, or do we bank the scholarship?
That all the M commits at the UA game said that that's news to them.
Where did you read that?
In a world where "LOL" has been drained of meaning ... in my case, in response to your post ... LOL. That's freakin' awesome!!
I just realized that that was insider forum info. Crap! Now I'm that guy. I'm old, these things confuse me.
He's at the UA game with McCray, Morris, Dawson, Tully-Tillman, Kulger. Not the Army game.
signing day cant get here soon enough
What is this BS? Witfong is reporting from the Army game. Poggi is at the UA game. I don't have a 247 subscription but you better have one and can show a Witfong quote or you're going to Bolivia.
247's Alabama affiliate.
Steve also said 247 reporters on site are attempting to locate Poggi to confirm/deny.
He reported it, without confirming it?

Michigan offered DT Jaynard Bostwick last week. Wonder if the coaches knew, or this influenced Poggi.

Join me, on a trip down bad memory lane:
It went ok from what I'm hearing. I don't think Alabama fits his personality as well as Michigan does. I've said this before, but I think Michigan has a clear lead on him. Poggi is a smart kid, his parents also want him to go to a highly rated academic institution. In terms of ratings and football tradition, Michigan would be hard to beat Michigan for Poggi. If he does sign with the Tide, then Saban clearly sold him on his pro potential. -Roll Damn Tide, 4/30/2012
RIP Roll Damn Tide
All I can think is "Monorail... monorail.... monorail..." whenever I see a mention of RDT.
Well I guess we'd better have a damn good conductor.
Now I'm sold. -Said no one ever.
This is also weird timing...because its the dead period
Wait and see...if he wants to visit other schools, let him, if he really wants to play at Michigan then that is where he will play. This certainly isn't the end of the world, even if he decommits, yeah, we'll lose a guy with some stars next to his name, but that just means it will give another guy an opportunity.
Yeah, but he's one of the best players in our class at a position of major need. It would be a major loss to lose him.
