Henry Poggi planning another visit to Michigan
Henry Poggi a defensive lineman from Baltimore, Maryland, is planning a second visit to Michigan. He's likely a pretty high 4 star on all the major recruiting sites, so this is a pretty big deal. He'd be an important get for the class of 2013.

put that kid next to Pipkens and you'd effectively shut down any run game
January 18th, 2012 at 9:58 PM ^
I was thinking he would be a 300lb DT. I was surprised when Rivals said he was only 250lb. Then I noticed his 40 time...WOW! Even with several fakes, just having a 4.7 listed is awesome. That kid probably lives in the backfield.
Question for our defensive experts. Wouldn't a DT prospect that's more mobile than big, be a better fit in our 4-3 defense than Saban's 3-4 with his interior DL typically mammoth run stoppers?
January 18th, 2012 at 10:40 PM ^
Ha he is a junior in highschool? He has a summer, a fulll season and an additional summer to add extra highschool weight? Sounds like a solid SDE in a 4-3 or a 3-4.
January 18th, 2012 at 10:54 PM ^
Bama nose guards are 300lb in junior high school. See Mount Cody.
January 18th, 2012 at 10:44 PM ^
We were probably saying the same thing about BWC - you just never know
January 18th, 2012 at 6:38 PM ^
How is his last name pronounced? Does anyone know?
Edit: I found a youtube clip of an interview. It's pronounced like Po Jee if anyone cares.
January 18th, 2012 at 6:40 PM ^
Do you hear all the giggling?
That's coming from all the MgoKoreans.
"PoJee" is slang for vagina in Korean.
January 18th, 2012 at 6:48 PM ^
I wouldn't want to be the one to tell him that.
January 18th, 2012 at 8:07 PM ^
It's pronounced "Henry Pog". The I is silent.

My holographic slammer doesn't lose
January 18th, 2012 at 6:33 PM ^
Man man man man manly man man maaaaaan
January 18th, 2012 at 6:57 PM ^
I knew I couldn't be the only one that sees some of Charley Harper's nephew in this one
January 18th, 2012 at 6:34 PM ^
when wikipedia gets done un-occupying the internet, can we get "manball" officially added to the english language?
January 18th, 2012 at 6:46 PM ^
Likely a Ravens fan. Get GMat on the case.
January 18th, 2012 at 6:50 PM ^
January 18th, 2012 at 7:18 PM ^
I'm right there with ya. I always thought it was hugely overrated. Hopefully I won't say the same about Mr. Poggi (unless he goes somewhere else).
January 18th, 2012 at 9:44 PM ^
Are you a fan of Two and a Half MANBALL?
January 18th, 2012 at 7:16 PM ^
The class of 2013 could be the best small (14) class ever. This is going by who has offers and who is intrested in Michigan.
January 18th, 2012 at 7:30 PM ^
this makes me think we should bank scholarships if we arent getting our guys this year, especially if shane is a big draw for skill talent.
anyone know the logic in using all of the scholarsjips you have when you have them?
January 18th, 2012 at 7:37 PM ^
scholarships, at least....
January 18th, 2012 at 7:38 PM ^
The good thing about Shane is he will be a big draw in talent for 4-5 years depending if he redshirts or leaves early.
January 18th, 2012 at 7:48 PM ^
We already have 19 for next year,not 14.
January 18th, 2012 at 7:50 PM ^
Well I must have miss counted, but that is a good thing.
January 18th, 2012 at 8:25 PM ^
Yeah, this class won't be as big as our 2012 class, but it will probably be around 22 or so with normal attrition, maybe even 24.
EDIT: OK I just recounted and before attrition we'll have 15 available for 2013 before attrition, assuming we take 28 in this class. Even so, there will probably be a couple guys who don't get 5th years for 2013 and a few more who bail for all the reasons we usually see. I'd be shocked if our class is below 20.
January 18th, 2012 at 7:50 PM ^
Well I must have miss counted, but that is a good thing.
January 18th, 2012 at 7:22 PM ^
Someone get Shane Morris in touch with this kid.
January 18th, 2012 at 7:28 PM ^
needs to cut the hair when he gets on campus
January 18th, 2012 at 7:31 PM ^
Why what's wrong with hair? What it makes him look like alot hippie? Leave the kid alone.
January 18th, 2012 at 7:37 PM ^
I don't know where to even begin...
January 18th, 2012 at 8:52 PM ^
Mario? Is that you?
January 18th, 2012 at 7:41 PM ^
He's taking over for RVB. I prefer my Dline to look like Fabio off the field and Conan the Barbarian on the field.
January 18th, 2012 at 7:57 PM ^
Gibbons
January 18th, 2012 at 8:05 PM ^
SHAVE THOSE SIDEBURNS!!!
January 18th, 2012 at 10:35 PM ^
Well played sir!
January 18th, 2012 at 10:25 PM ^
No No No...
...we need him to grow his hair!
We need more vikings on this team.
January 18th, 2012 at 7:39 PM ^
January 18th, 2012 at 7:38 PM ^
#7 DT and #64 player overall by 247. Great rating. He is a good size young man. Don't know how Rivals and Scout have him rated.
January 18th, 2012 at 9:59 PM ^
And a coach's kid, yes? That would lead me to believe he'll be a very quick study.
January 18th, 2012 at 7:39 PM ^
Would love to add another elite DT for the future
January 18th, 2012 at 7:49 PM ^
January 18th, 2012 at 7:57 PM ^
January 18th, 2012 at 8:05 PM ^
cars, women, tattos, no school, money.....no can't think that a 18 year old would like at bama
January 18th, 2012 at 8:14 PM ^
Not Mlive.
January 18th, 2012 at 8:16 PM ^
I agree why wouldn't you want all of that as a young boy. I hope he values education over ....... I am trying not to say bad stuff on here.
January 18th, 2012 at 10:25 PM ^
this recruiting strategy worked out for both these guys (for a while...)
January 18th, 2012 at 8:15 PM ^
Probably doesn't hurt that his primary recruiter just jumped ship.
January 18th, 2012 at 10:39 PM ^
The article said he's being recruited by Sal Sunseri. Sunseri just left Bama for Tennessee I believe. Perhaps that can shake things up in his decision making.
January 18th, 2012 at 8:00 PM ^
As in, Gilman Ride/Gilman clear?
/lacrosse
January 18th, 2012 at 10:00 PM ^
Maybe he chucks linemen 40 yards downfield.
<br>
<br>Lax on
January 18th, 2012 at 8:01 PM ^
He is so lucky! The girls on our campus will tear this kid up.
