Poggi Deciding Soon
"Michigan has been recruiting him very hard for a long time, as has Alabama," Biff Poggi, Henry's father and coach, told Steve Wiltfong of Wolverine247.com. "Those are the two schools recruiting him the hardest. He really respects both of the coaching staffs."
Poggi also listed Tennessee and Texas A&M among his final four. And, he is ready to commit.
"I think he'll make a decision soon," his father said. "Within the next 30 days."

Very interesting considering Hurst visits tomorrow.
Poggi doesn't need to feel pressure from Hurst, its obvious that Michigan is recruiting him at RB. Fred Jackson thinks that he is a mix between Refrigerator Perry (but bigger) and Gayle Sayers (but more elusive).
More like Tecmo Bo Jackson, but more powerful.
Sam Webb has said that he is very confident that Poggi will blue, and he has also said that he believes Michigan will have a great June recruiting month.
Did Sam really say this? Do you by chance have a link? I recall Sam saying something to the effect that we are looking good for Poggi, but nothing saying that he thinks Poggi will be blue.
Looking good really only means we have a good chance, like 30% chance plus. Not that we lead.
WIth that said, i sure hope Sam did say that. Would love to have both Poggi and Hurst but i think Poggi is all Bama.
You think that if Sam felt we had a 30% chance in a two horse race he'd say we're "looking good?" I doubt it.
30% = looking good
He gives Poggi a 20% chance of going blue in an earlier post.
He says in his latest post that he thinks Poggi is "all Bama"
so one must deduce that 20% = looking very, very bad.
so a majority of the uncertainty is bundled up in the 20-30% range.
That's very complex. It seems that the difference between 22% and 28% is about as great as 28% and 90% or so. Once you're at 30, you're golden. Dip below 25 though, and you've got an uphill battle.
It was an example. Sam saying we are looking good for a recruit, may mean that he gives Michigan a 30% shot if 2 other universities are also at 30%, and 1 at 10%.
Wouldnt you say we are looking good too if we are even with 2 others?
Wait, Poggi's dad's name is Biff? Now I really want him.
Make like a tree and get the hell out of here.
I have your car towed all the way to your house and all you've got for me is light beer??
Why didn't you tell me your car had a blindspot? I could have been killed!
Say hi to your mom for me.
"It's leaf you idiot"
Who you calling butthead, butthead?
Just my opinion, but I do like our chances with Poggi. His parents really seemed to love the visit and the coaches, and Alabama wants him as a tight end. I think it's very close, but I just think Michigan might have a 55/45 edge.
And no, I did not think Michigan would get Levenberry, so I don't think every prospect goes our way.
Where is this tight end business coming from? That is the first I have heard that.
He plays TE in high school.
Is Alabama really looking at him for TE?
I couldn't tell you for sure because I don't follow Alabama recruiting, but I believe that's what Roll Damn Tide said in one of his updates.
From what I can gather, they want him as TE/H-Back type. Think Brad Smelley.
Also, Andrew Bone, who is Scout's 'Bama guy, is really confident that Alabama will land Poggi, but he doesn't have nearly as good of a track record as Sam Webb, so take that FWIW
I will take Sam's gut over Andrew's boner anyday of the week
I would like our chances more if Poggi was visiting prior to his annoucement.
I'd say Hurst is a lock to go blue when he visits.
I could believe all the pro-Poggi banter but after Levenberry/Garnett/Isaac/et. al. I have become very skeptical of recruits who visit other schools and commit soon after. Rarely does that seem to work out for the previous "leader" (M). Here's to preparing for the worst and hoping for the best!.....
Whatever happened to Mgoposter Roll Damn Tide? I generally enjoyed hearing his insights on common recruits.
...we can all stop worrying about it because it'll mean he's headed to Bama.
RTD is probably waiting this one out given his last 3 calls:
- Levenberry favors Michigan
- Isaac favors Michigan
- Poggi favors Michigan
Considering the alternative,in this case 1 out of 3 ain't bad
<double post. sorry.>
EDIT: Redacted my joke because I didn't realize this guy died. What kind of sick fuck posts a gif of a guy dying in a thread about recruiting? Is this MGoFacesOfDeath?
did this dude survive?
No he did not.
That window is open back there. That was his head going out as the car rolled. I saw this film in a mandatory seat belt safety class I took for all the wrong reasons.
I wish this was about recruiting. Peace to this guys' family - that he didn't die in vain. I always think about this prior to buckling up...which I guess is the point.
Please say, "Yes."
I think it's Dale Earnhardt.
You want to know what pure fear looks like in the eyes of man? Right there.
Dude, this guy died. That is a gif of someone being killed, possibly instantaneously. Not cool.
I don't want to imagine the complaining if Michigan loses another 50/50 battle.
Not identical, but they could definitely pass as brothers
I'd be very happy with another RVB.
Troy Smith? Are you sure?
whatever his name is, some damn buckeye QB. What is his name anyway? Anyway..... memorable Michigan play
Braxton Miller.
I think you're confusing the good memories with the bad ones.
I'm not doubting the kids talents, but let's be real here. He will have a much better shot at making some noise at Michigan than he will at Bama. Southern D line recruits are freaks.
He won't have to worry about souther D-line recruits, because he's reportedly being recruited for tight end by Alabama.
