Unless Poggi flips to Alabama..
Unless Poggi flips to Alabama..
I think they sit tight, there's a full class that's locked down with no other real needs. If Poggi flips, then I think they might try to pull Kenton Gibbs, but otherwise I'd be surprised if there was any further movement.

Nope. Bigg won't talk to

Nope. Bigg won't talk to media, Henry hasn't said anything, conflicting reports about whether it's actually an official, or if Henry is hanging out with his bud while other Gilman kids are touring campus and meeting coaches.
January 27th, 2013 at 10:06 PM |
I kinda figured
I kinda figured
there would be nothing, otherwise it would be on the board already, thanks man. I just worry a little bit cause I don't wanna lose this kid. If Henry is smart he'll stay Blue. I would hate to see him get oversigned and then cut before fall camp starts

Discussed this morning on WTKA
Discussed this morning on WTKA
Poggi's dad, who is Gilman's coach, regularly makes trips like this to colleges he may send kids to. Henry went along to see his buddy who he played with last year. Alabama bloogers pictured it as an official which it wasn't.
January 27th, 2013 at 10:34 PM |

I'm a little late to the party with this thread, but does anyone know what colleges his dad has taken these trips to in the past?
If he's taken similar trips to top 10 schools before, then this makes perfect sense. If his previous trips have primarily been to D2 type schools or some Atlantic 10 type schools, then this trip is an outlier. If that's the case, is this trip a cover to get his kid on Alabama's campus for a visit while still reserving his committment to Michigan?
January 28th, 2013 at 9:52 AM |
Gilman turns out
Gilman turns out
quite a few D1 players so I'm sure Coach Poggi makes plenty of trips to D1 schools and he had a kid commit to Bama last year so he already knows the staff. I just don't see a HS coach doing something so backhanded that would piss off another top notch D1 school.
January 28th, 2013 at 10:36 AM |
Thanks. It would seem
Thanks. It would seem
Thanks. It would seem awfully backhanded, but I also am surprised that a HS coach would tweet something negative about a whole conference's recruiting ability. I was really skeptical that it was really his twitter account, but someone on this thread said that Gillman Football retweeted it. That leads me to think that maybe he really did tweet it.
I'd love to have the kid here, as part of this class. If he thinks he's better off at Alabama, then so be it. Good luck to him.
January 28th, 2013 at 3:31 PM |
Bama may not have space
Bama may not have space
Bama interwebs report that they have more interest in a JUCO DL currently commited to Ole Miss. And here's their take on the visit:
The only other official visitor in town in addition to Reed was Michigan commit Henry Poggi. The Baltimore/Gilman School defensive lineman and his camp have been very quiet heading into the visit, with pressure coming from Michigan’s end as they have a no-visit policy for their commits. One thing is for sure though- this trip was much more than a casual jaunt to see former teammate and current UA player, Cyrus Jones. Sources indicate Henry’s father and head coach, Biff Poggi, had a lot of questions on the visit and playing in the SEC is a big pull for the Poggis. That said, it’s no secret that UA’s numbers are very tight at this juncture. We’ve mentioned several times before that the UA staff will have to make some tough decisions down the stretch and this could be the close call that we’ve been referring to.

aparently his dad tweeted some business about the SEC being better at recruiting than the b10. Not sure if its real or not.

attrition speaks against banking scholarships
attrition speaks against banking scholarships
while we may never see the attrition of the RR era, we need to get athletes on campus and develop them. i do not expect M to "cut' players but there will be players who leave when they realize they will not develop.

January 27th, 2013 at 10:50 PM |
This is true
This is true
However, we're not like Alabama. We don't cut scholarship athletes for underperforming, which means when the coaches accept a commitment from a recruit that the coaching staff is also committing to having that player on the team for the next 4 years. If the coaches aren't comfortable with making that committment to a lesser known recruit then banking it is the right move.

Saying biff poggi posted negative tweets about big ten recruiting. I don't tweet and am sure people can start misleading twitter accounts. I also take very little from anything I read on rcmb.

I don't take anything on twitter seriously
so I don't know if I believe that was really Biff. I mean he didn't seem to have a problem with the Big Ten before, I mean come on his other son plays for Iowa. If it was him, and he's letting the SEC sweet talk him, then that just show's how dumb he is.

I think they bank the last scholarship. They will be having a small class next year anyway. Like someone said earlier in the post, all the needs were met in this class.

Agree. Unless some big time
Agree. Unless some big time
Agree. Unless some big time WR, CB, or even a TE falls in their lap on signing day, just bank it. We're not going to have a huge class next year, and taking kids just as filler doesn't make sense at this point. Unless the coaches are expecting some attrition or something, but I really hope this isn't the case.
January 27th, 2013 at 10:30 PM |
We said that last year...

We all thought we would have a class of maybe 17-20?!? Now it is 27. We need to get the best player available and get them in now for future depth. I don't think we will have a small class, there are too many unknowns just like this year!
